'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
In [[Galar]], Articuno has a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[regional form]], introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion. Neither Kantonian Articuno nor Galarian Articuno are known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.


It is, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].
Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno is a large {{wp|Aves|avian}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly sky blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing digits and one facing backward. On its chest is a mass of white, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly-colored legs.  


====Gender differences====
Articuno has the power to control ice at will. When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}} such as snowy mountains filled with permafrost. Articuno loves [[Articuno Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and sang with it in the past.
Articuno is a genderless species.


===Special abilities===
Articuno is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Chill}}.
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.


===Behavior===
===Forms===
Articuno is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings (as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting), or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.
[[File:0144Articuno-Galar 2.png|left|thumb|200px|Galarian Articuno firing beams from its eyes]]
Articuno has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno.


===Habitat===
In [[Galar]], Articuno has a distinct appearance. Its main body has lavender coloration with a black marking covering its chest. Its feet are black with lavender talons. The three feathers of its crest, which are longer, fused, and folded to the back, have the same purple color as its beak and tail. Its eyes glow light blue, appear to be mostly closed, and are surrounded by a black, mask-like facial disc. When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings.
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]], it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.


===Diet===
{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire beams of psychic energy that leave its opponents stuck in place as if frozen solid — this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality. It is constantly migrating around the world but can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]] once every few decades congregating with the other birds at the [[Dyna Tree Hill|Dyna Tree]] to eat its fruits.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/ Galarian Articuno | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

==In the anime==
Galarian Articuno is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

===Major appearances===
====''[[M02|The Power of One]]''====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (The Power of One)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.


====Other====
==Game data==
Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to Team Rocket early in the episode, and then to Ash, Todd, Misty, and Brock. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.
===NPC appearances===
 
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Articuno resides in [[Frosty Forest]] and challenges the player and partner when they trespass. Articuno then accuses the player and partner of causing the snow of the forest to melt. An {{p|Absol}} then appears and convinces Articuno to let the player and partner pass through.
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Articuno is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Icy Flute]].
 
The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
In Japanese, the wording 「でんせつの れいとうポケモン」 (''Legendary Freezing Pokémon'') is found in the Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]]. This is a reference to Articuno's {{pkmn|category}} (English: Freeze Pokémon; Japanese: れいとうポケモン). However, in the English version of LeafGreen, this was changed to "legendary bird Pokémon" instead, which is an expression also found in several other Pokédex entries of the three [[legendary birds]].

{{Dex/RecycledRG}}
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to sprit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

===Game locations===
Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation. However, in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3]], [[Team Rocket]] was able to temporary get hold of it, together with {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}. It was used by the then-Rocket Executive [[Koga]] to try and finish {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} and succeeded in freezing them, but that turned out to be a strategy to let the ninja master's guard down and attack him from behind when [[Blue's Charizard]] unfroze them. After his defeat, it is called upon by [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Kadabra}} with Zapdos and merged to form [[Zapmolcuno]], a combination that proved almost unstoppable until [[Saur]], the {{p|Ivysaur}} it knocked out of the wall, saved its trainers with a web created using {{m|Vine Whip}} and evolved to {{p|Venusaur}} to deliver the final blow with [[Blue's Charizard|Charizard]] and [[Blasty]]. It at last regains its freedom after the defeat and splits from its fellow birds.

Much later, in the [[Gold, Silver, & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|GSC saga]], it reappears under {{adv|Green}}'s possession with its fellow birds and is lent to Red in the battle against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who nearly overwhelmed the three with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Since it has not been seen since, its has either been kept in the box or released, its true status unknown.

==Other appearances==
|}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.
 
====Trophy information====
Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is a engraving on the Viridian City Pokémon Center's wall that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Though the blue coloration of the stone indicates the ice element, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the tail feathers are more similar to those of Ho-Oh.
[[File:Legendary Pokémon engravings EP002.png|thumb|250px|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the guardhouse separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Todd Snap|Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, and the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to make its anime debut in a movie.
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* Articuno was the last Generation I Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Articuno is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} who can learn an accuracy-focusing move and an OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by IQ group|IQ group]] C.
* Kantonian Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Poliwrath}} (Generation II only) and {{p|Smeargle}} that is able to learn {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} and an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move, being able to learn Mind Reader and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Articuno and the other two legendary birds had Australian beetle species [[List of references to Pokémon in science|named after them]]: ''Binburrum articuno'', ''Binburrum zapdos'', and ''Binburrum moltres''. The three species were first described in 2020, and were collectively named after the legendary birds to reflect their rarity.<ref>[https://twitter.com/YHsiaoBeetle/status/1345310387059625985 Tweet by Yun Hsiao (@YHsiaoBeetle)], posted Jan 2, 2021</ref><ref>Hsiao, Y. & Pollock, D.

===Origin===
===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|rukh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.
Articuno seems to take inspiration from various mythical birds such as the Persian {{wp|Simurgh}}, {{wp|Huma bird|Huma}}, and {{wp|Roc (mythology)|Roc}}, or the Chinese {{wp|Fenghuang}}. Many of these rare birds were said to live on high mountain peaks and are symbols of good fortune. Tales of their benevolence might be the inspiration behind Articuno’s reputation for rescuing people. Anatomically, it is very similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}, and its streamer-like tail feathers are similar to the {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}.
 
As suggested by the Pokédex entries, the three legendary birds appear to be embodiments of {{wp|seasons}}, Articuno represents {{wp|winter}}, while {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} represent {{wp|summer}} and {{wp|spring}}, respectively. {{wp|Autumn}} is however unrepresented.
 
Galarian Articuno’s facial feathers resemble a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}} as well as some form of protective eyewear such as glasses, goggles, or a visor. Its freezing glare might be a reference to the {{wp|Cockatrice}}, a mythical reptile/bird monster that could turn people to stone with its gaze. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Kantonian Articuno's regular coloration.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Articuno's name is a combination of a corrupted version of the word ''arctic'', the far northern regions of the globe, and ''uno'', the {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.
Articuno may be a combination of ''{{wp|arctic}}'' (northern polar region) and ''uno'' (Spanish for one, indicating that it is the first of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).
 
Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).
