In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 580, Articuno plays as a high-end Pokémon with strong numbers across the board. Its standout stat is Special Defense at 125, while Attack (85) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Ice, Flying typing leaves Articuno with 4 weaknesses against 2 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Rock moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Articuno a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
