Articuno is a powerful Ice and Flying type Pokémon with an max CP of 3450. It has great attacking stats, but its defense leaves something to be desired at 197 DEF (10%). Articunos best moves in this game are Frost Breath which does 10 damage per second and Icy Beam (11 DPS). The weather effects it greatly: if you’re using Sunny Day on your team then he’ll receive 5% lessening from all super effective attacks; however during Rainy Days or Hailstorms his resistance will rise by 2 stages!

Articuno Best Moveset

Articuno is an easy to predict Pokemon, as it has only Ice type moves available and the time for victory will vary depending on which move set you use. Most of these Rock types resist Artics’s power with some help from other powerful resists like Landorus or Aerodactyl who also want no part in dealing with this Ancientpower attack!

Articuno Counters

Articuno is a Pokemon with two weaknesses: Rock and Ground. This means that it will face many more of these types in battle, but there are some exceptions to this rule – for example Fire counters show up on the list too! The best ways I’ve found so far to take out Articsuniuns? Try using rock-type attacks against them or send something strong against their ground defense level (like Groudon).

This isn’t just any old bird Pokémon; its type combination makes sure you have your work cut out for yourself if you want victory over one–and not only does each weakness offer less reward than usual when defeated…

Articuno Raid Counters

Articuno is weak to Rock, but its type chart reveals a glaring weakness. We use that information and defeated Artie with ease! With the Partly Cloudy weather boost for our attackers’ attack power against it too making them really powerful in taking down this CPokemon carbuncle fast-paced gym defender quickly before they can wreak havoc on your team’s stats or HP points too much more than what you’re prepared for at all times already have enough time where most likely will happen again next battle because winning isn’t always about being perfect–it just takes skillful timing so keep practicing guys!”
