However in | 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 [[[Volume 3|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}} {{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 {{P|Zapdos}} and merged to form [[Zapmolcuno]], a combination that proved almost unstoppable until the [[[Ivysaur|Saur]] it knocked out of the wall saved its trainers with a web created using [[Vine Whip]] and evolved to {{P|Venusaur}} to deliver the final blow with [[Charizard|Blue's 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 {{adv|Red}} in the battle against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who nearly overwhelmed the three with [[Ho-Oh]] and [[Lugia]]. Since it has not been seen since, its has either been kept in the box or released, its true status unknown. | |||
