'''Green's Articuno''' (Japanese: '''ブルーのフリーザー''' ''Blue's Freezer'') was the first of the legendary birds to appear. It was initially used by [[Koga]] and later caught by {{adv|Green}}.
 
===History===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Koga and Articuno Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Articuno and Koga]]
Articuno first appeared in ''[[PS025|You Know...Articuno!]]'', where [[Team Rocket]] was trying to capture it at [[Seafoam Islands]]. Sensing Team Rocket, Articuno covered itself in a shield of ice, immobilizing itself. {{adv|Red}} and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Harry]] battled each other, each trying to capture the Freeze Pokémon. Red quickly started to lose the fight as his [[Gyara]] was forced to relive some painful memories of his experimentation at the hands of Team Rocket, causing him to loss control. Seizing the moment, Harry had his {{p|Muk}} attack Gyara, trying to finish the fight before Articuno would break itself out of the ice. However, Articuno freed itself from the ice while the battle was still going on and begun to flee from Team Rocket, firing off attacks to keep them at bay. Seeing Red struggling against Muk, Articuno fired off a powerful {{m|Blizzard}}, ignoring all of Red's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and freezing Muk in a block of ice. However, defending Red caused Articuno to use up an extreme amount of energy, allowing Team Rocket to capture it soon after. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', it was revealed to have been given to [[Koga]].
 
Articuno was later used by Koga in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]'' in his fight against Red and {{adv|Blue}} at the [[Silph Co.]] Articuno started the fight with a powerful Blizzard against Blue, followed up by an {{m|Ice Beam}}. Koga then revealsed that Articuno is under his complete control thanks to his {{badge|Soul}}. Articuno continued its assault, freezing the majority of the room, along with Red and Blue. Thinking the battle was done, Koga let his guard down, and was surprised to see that Red and Blue were already unfrozen thanks to [[Blue's Charizard]] heating up the room from the outside. Koga was then defeated by a combination attack from [[Blue's Porygon]] and [[Pika]].
 
In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', Articuno was called upon by [[Sabrina's Kadabra]] and was soon after fused with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} due to {{adv|Green}}'s use of the Badge Energy Amplifier, using Red's [[Badge|Gym Badges]] as a power source. The three birds were soon separated by a combined attack from [[Saur]], Blue's Charizard, and [[Blasty]]. After being separated, Articuno was {{pkmn2|released}} back into the wild.
 
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
[[File:Green Legendary birds.png|thumb|left|170px|Articuno and Green]]
Prior to the chapter, Green captured Articuno to help her overcome her fear of birds. Articuno was revealed to have been caught by Green in ''[[PS174|The Last Battle VIII]]'', where she called it out alongside Zapdos and Moltres to battle the [[Masked Man]]'s {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. Green got on Moltres's back, while she has Red command Articuno and Blue command Zapdos. The three birds fired off a combination attack against Ho-Oh, who countered with {{m|Sacred Fire}}. Before Ho-Oh could be overwhelmed by the [[legendary birds]], Lugia dispersed them with its own attack. While the Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s were trying to think of a way to attack the [[Tower duo]], a large group of Pokémon exited the {{to|Azalea}} [[Pokémon Center]] and begun grouping around Ho-Oh and Lugia, each sharing the thoughts of stopping evil with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. The combined efforts of the Pokémon allow Ho-Oh and Lugia to be freed from the Masked Man's control. With Ho-Oh and Lugia gone, Green returned Articuno to its {{i|Poké Ball}}.
 
It is unknown what happened to Articuno after this point, as it is never mentioned again, nor is it listed amongst Green's Pokémon in the following chapters.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
Articuno is a caring {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a high moral compass, shown when it sacrificed its remaining energy to save {{adv|Red}} and [[Gyara]] from [[Team Rocket]], despite putting itself in danger of being captured. It also showed regret when having to listen to [[Koga]], knowing it was helping an evil cause. The Freeze Pokémon dislikes confrontation, and will freeze itself in ice when it senses an enemy. Articuno is also a very powerful Pokémon, able to stand its ground against both {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. Articuno holds its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in high regards, easily listening to her commands and having no problem following her orders to be commanded by another Trainer.

'''Green's Zapdos''' (Japanese: '''ブルーのサンダー''' ''Blue's Thunder'') was the last of the legendary birds to appear. It was initially used by [[Lt. Surge]] and later caught by {{adv|Green}}.
 
===History===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Lt Surge and Zapdos Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Zapdos and Lt. Surge]]
Zapdos first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', where it was revealed to have been captured by [[Lt. Surge]] in the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}}. Zapdos appeared again in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'', where it was used in Lt. Surge's fight against {{adv|Red}} at the [[Silph Co.]] Zapdos was used to charge Lt. Surge's energy supplies, which Lt. Surge himself was immune to thanks to his electric-proof undersuit. Using its electric energy, Zapdos was used to provide the rest of Lt. Surge's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an infinite amount of energy to attack with. After wearing down Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], Zapdos was used against [[Saur]], attacking with a powerful {{m|Thunder Shock}}, causing major damage. After evading a {{m|Razor Leaf}} barrage, Lt. Surge had Zapdos charge itself up to max power, planning to attack the entire battlefield with a devastating {{m|Thunder}} attack. Right before the move was executed, Red had Saur uses the remaining leaves to cut Lt. Surge's undersuit, causing the Thunder attack to hit Lt. Surge instead of Red, knocking him out and ending the battle.
 
In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', Zapdos was called upon by [[Sabrina's Kadabra]] and was soon after fused with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}} due to {{adv|Green}}'s use of the Badge Energy Amplifier, using Red's [[Badge|Gym Badges]] as a power source. The three birds were soon separated by a combined attack from Saur, [[Blue's Charizard]], and [[Blasty]]. After being separated, Zapdos was {{pkmn2|released}} back into the wild.

Zapdos was shown to have little regard for its original Trainer, attacking Lt. Surge with {{m|Thunder}} despite knowing that it would hurt him. Zapdos holds its current Trainer in high regards, easily listening to her commands and having no problem following her orders to be commanded by another Trainer.

'''Green's Moltres''' (Japanese: '''ブルーのファイヤー''' ''Blue's Fire'') was the second of the legendary birds to appear. It was initially used by [[Sabrina]] and later caught by {{adv|Green}}.
 
===History===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Sabrina and Moltres Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Moltres and Sabrina]]
Prior to the start of the series, Moltres was captured by [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and given to [[Sabrina]]. Moltres first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', where it was used by [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Al]] to attack [[Blaine]]. Once Blaine started to make his escape with {{adv|Red}}, Moltres was sent to chase them down. The Flame Pokémon was quickly able to catch up with Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}} and easily withstood the damage from [[Poli]]'s {{m|Water Gun}}. Moltres then used its overwhelming strength and speed to break Rapidash's {{m|Fire Spin}} and effortlessly dodge [[Gyara]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. It then countered with a powerful {{t|Fire}} attack, burning much of the landscape around it, impressing Red with its strength. Realizing that they are outmatched without a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, Blaine has Red retreat to his [[Cinnabar Lab|secret laboratory]] in order to resurrect the ancient Pokémon {{p|Aerodactyl}} from his [[Old Amber]]. Blaine attempted to keep Moltres at bay with Gyara until Red returned, but was quickly overwhelmed by Moltres's flames. Just when Blaine was starting to think he was done for, Red returned with his newly revived Aerodactyl, [[Aero]], who caught Moltres off guard with his impressive speed. Red had Aero attack with {{m|Supersonic}}, while Moltres countered with Flamethrower. The moves collided and Supersonic proved to be more powerful, damaging Moltres's wing. Seeing Moltres at a disadvantage, Al chose to [[recall]] Moltres to its [[Ultra Ball]] and have Team Rocket retreat from [[Cinnabar Island]]. Al later headed to [[Silph Co.]], returning Moltres to Sabrina.
 
In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', Moltres was called upon by [[Sabrina's Kadabra]] and was soon after fused with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} due to {{adv|Green}}'s use of the Badge Energy Amplifier, using Red's [[Badge|Gym Badges]] as a power source. The three birds were soon separated by a combined attack from [[Saur]], [[Blue's Charizard]], and [[Blasty]]. After being separated, Moltres was {{pkmn2|released}} back into the wild.
 
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
[[File:Green Legendary birds.png|thumb|left|170px|Moltres and Green]]
Prior to the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Green traveled to [[Mt. Ember]] and captured Moltres to help her overcome her fear of birds. Moltres was revealed to have been caught by Green in ''[[PS174|The Last Battle VIII]]'', where she called it out alongside Articuno and Zapdos to battle the [[Masked Man]]'s {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. Green got on Moltres's back, while she has Red command Articuno and Blue command Zapdos. The three birds fired off a combination attack against Ho-Oh, who countered with {{m|Sacred Fire}}. Before Ho-Oh could be overwhelmed by the [[legendary birds]], Lugia dispersed them with its own attack. While the Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s were trying to think of a way to attack the [[Tower duo]], a large group of Pokémon exited the {{to|Azalea}} [[Pokémon Center]] and begun grouping around Ho-Oh and Lugia, each sharing the thoughts of stopping evil with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. The combined efforts of the Pokémon allow Ho-Oh and Lugia to be freed from the Masked Man's control. With Ho-Oh and Lugia gone, Green returned Moltres to its {{i|Poké Ball}}.
 
It is unknown what happened to Moltres after this point, as it is not mentioned again, nor is it listed amongst Green's Pokémon in the following chapters.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
Moltres is a very powerful battler, able to take {{DL|Damage|super effective}} [[move]]s while showing no signs of damage. It was also able to stand its ground against both {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. Moltres's pure strength impressed {{adv|Red}}, as it destroyed a large landscape of forest around it with minimal effort. Moltres is also incredibly fast and agile, easily able to outmaneuver any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that isn't able to fly. Moltres takes great pride in its battling skills, shown to be very satisfied and amused with its advantage over [[Gyara]]. Moltres holds its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in high regards, easily listening to her commands.

(Japanese: '''サ・ファイ・ザー''' ''Thu-Fi-Zer'') was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment created by fusing the three [[legendary birds]]—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

===History===
[[File:Koga Articuno Adventures.png|thumb|left|As an Articuno]]
Prior to the creation of Thu-Fi-Zer, [[Team Rocket]] stole an [[Vee|Eevee]] in order to research the [[Eeveelution]]s—{{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}—which was a mere beta-test for this creature. To this end, Team Rocket captured {{p|Zapdos}} at the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}}, {{p|Moltres}} at the [[Indigo Plateau]], and, after its energy reserves were spent on saving {{adv|Red}}'s [[Gyara]], {{p|Articuno}} at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. With {{adv|Mewtwo}} on the run and its creator, [[Blaine]], having defected from Team Rocket, this experimental monstrosity was Team Rocket's trump card.

[[File:Lt Surge Zapdos Adventures.png|thumb|left|As a Zapdos]]
Red's [[Badge|Gym Badges]] triggered a fusion machine and created this {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Red tried battling Thu-Fi-Zer with his [[Saur|Ivysaur]] but the fused trio sent him flying. Sabrina commanded it to attack Red as he served their purpose. Before it can do so, {{adv|Blue}} interferes with {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} only for Blue to meet the same fate as Red. Red came up with a plan to defeat Thu-Fi-Zer which involves {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefairy|Clefy}} to evolve into a {{p|Clefable}}. He does so with the use of a Moon Stone. After evolving, Clefy attacks Thu-Fi-Zer with {{m|Metronome}} which resulted in Clefy using {{m|Comet Punch}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}. Despite the damage that Thu-Fi-Zer took, it became barely hurt and was able to send Red, Blue, and Green flying out of the Silph Co. building. 
[[File:Sabrina Moltres Adventures.png|thumb|As a Moltres]]
It was about to destroy [[Saffron City]] until Red, Blue, and Green survived the fall with Saur's vine created web. Using their starter Pokémon, they battled with the beast and attacked with {{m|SolarBeam}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. The battle caused Saur to evolve into a {{p|Venusaur}} which caused the starters's attacks to become stronger. After a long battle, they managed to defeat Thu-Fi-Zer. After being defeated, the three legendary birds separated to their original forms and left.


==Personality and characteristics==
In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', {{adv|Red}}'s [[Badge|Gym Badges]] triggered the Badge Energy Amplifier when {{adv|Green}} placed them into the device, creating this fusion {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Red tried battling Thu-Fi-Zer with [[Saur]], but the fused trio sent him flying out of the [[Silph Co.]] building with ease. [[Sabrina]] commanded it to attack Red, as he had served his purpose and could be disposed of. Before the creature could attack, {{adv|Blue}} interfered with {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, only for the two to meet the same fate as Red and Saur. Red came up with a plan to defeat Thu-Fi-Zer, which involved {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}—Clefy—evolving into a {{p|Clefable}}. He accomplished this with the use of a [[Moon Stone]] he had found on [[Mt. Moon]] earlier. After evolving, Clefy attacked Thu-Fi-Zer with {{m|Metronome}}, which resulted in it using {{m|Quick Attack}} to close in on the legendary bird, and then unleashed a succession of attacks; {{m|Comet Punch}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Fury Attack}}. Despite the damage that Thu-Fi-Zer took from this barrage, it was barely hurt and was able to send Red, Blue, and Green flying out of the Silph Co. building with a {{m|Sky Attack}}.  
Thu-Fi-Zer was proven to be unstoppable as it has the powers of the three legendary birds combined. This was proven as it was able to easily knock back {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur|Ivysaur]] without suffering a scratch. Even Sabrina commented on how she wanted its power.


==Moves used==
However, the three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s survived thanks to a net created by Saur's vines, so Sabrina ordered Thu-Fi-Zer to attack them again. Using their [[first partner Pokémon]], the three Trainer attacked the fusion Pokémon with {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. In the midst of attacking, Red's call caused Saur to evolve into a {{p|Venusaur}}, changing its attack into a {{m|Solar Beam}}. The combination attack caused the three [[legendary birds]] to be separated into their original forms, which then fled back into the wild.

===Personality and characteristics===
Thu-Fi-Zer was proven to be practically unstoppable, as it had the combined powers of all the [[legendary birds]]. This was exemplified as it was able to easily knock back {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] without suffering a scratch and withstand a barrage of attacks from {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefable|Clefy}} with little injury. Even [[Sabrina]] commented on how she wanted its power.

However, Coronis of [[Serebii.net]] coined the term Zapmolcuno, a portmanteau of the [[legendary birds]]' names; this reflects its Japanese name, '''サ・ファイ・ザー''' ''Thu-Fi-Zer'', a combination of the legendary birds' Japanese names {{tt|'''Thu'''nder|Zapdos}}, {{tt|'''Fi'''re|Moltres}}, and {{tt|Free'''zer'''|Articuno}}.
