In-Depth Analysis
Articuno totals 580 across its base stats, profiling as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Lean on its Special Attack (125) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Attack (85).
Defensively, the Psychic, Flying combination gives Articuno 3 resistances, 1 immunity, 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 3 makes Articuno a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
