In the anime
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. Jirarudan 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.
Other appearances
When released from a Pokéball, Articuno will use a Blizzard attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.
