===Pokémon of the day: Articuno===
===Introducing: Homika===
* '''Articuno''' (Japanese: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation I]]. It is a [[legendary Pokémon]] and is the first of the [[legendary birds]] trio.
* '''Homika''' ('''ホミカ''') is one of the new [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Unova]] region. She is set to appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. She specializes in {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Toxic}} to Trainers who defeat her.
* In [[Generation I]] games, as well as the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}, Articuno can first be seen in some binoculars on the second story of the [[gate]] between {{rt|15|Kanto}} and [[Fuchsia City]]. It can later be battled deep inside the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* She is a {{wp|musician}} who plays the bass guitar, her band is called "The {{tt|Dogars|Koffing}}". Her Gym is a music club.
* In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], Articuno can be found [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] around [[Sinnoh]].
* Homika is set to appear in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]''. In the episode, Ash will challenge Homika to a 6 on 3 battle with Homika using {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Scolipede}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.
* Articuno made its anime debut in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' where it raged in an epic battle against {{DL|Legendary birds (movie 2)|Zapdos}} and {{DL|Legendary birds (movie 2)|Moltres}}, ultimately causing {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} to appear and calm their rage. It debuted in the series in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' where [[Todd Snap|Todd]] wanted to get a [[Photography|photograph]] of it.
* Her father is an actor who works in Pokèwood.
* In the manga, Articuno was captured by [[Team Rocket]] and was merged with Zapdos and Moltres to form [[Zapmolcuno]] in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]''. It was later able to split apart from the other two, and regain its freedom. It later appeared during the final battle against the [[Masked Man]] under the ownership of {{adv|Green}}, who then lent it to {{adv|Red}} to use against an enraged {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* She is the first Poison type Gym Leader outside of [[Kanto]]. She is also the first Gym Leader to appear in the anime before her game debut.
* In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], Articuno has been featured on {{TCG|Articuno|14 different cards}} and is typically of the {{tcg|Water}} type.
