Biology
Physiology
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest 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 similiarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.
Gender differences
Articuno is a genderless species.
Special abilities
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.
Behavior
Articuno, along with Zapdos and Moltres is one of the legendary birds of Kanto. They are 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, 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 blizzards.
Habitat
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "Legendary" status.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. Lawrence III attempted to collect Articuno and the two other Legendary Birds in his scheme to capture Lugia.
Another was seen in the episode Freeze Frame. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of Johto. Nurse Joy suggested that many other Articuno probably have nests in other cold locations with high altitudes.
Also, the Frontier Brain Noland uses one against challengers. This can be seen in the episode Numero Uno Articuno in his battle against Ash.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When released from a Poké Ball, Articuno will use a 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 Ice Beam and Blizzard.
