In-Depth Analysis
Arctibax's 423 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (95) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 45 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Dragon, Ice combination gives Arctibax 3 resistances and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Arctibax a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
