[[File:YGlitchNameF9.png]] is a {{t|Glitch}}-type [[glitch Pokémon]], found in {{v2|Yellow}}. It can only be obtained via the [[Johto guard glitch]] with {{p|Granbull}}.

If the [[Mew glitch]] is attempted with the special stat of 249, the player will fight a [[glitch Trainer]] that will claim "''d is trying to learn''" for a long period of time until the game eventually [[game freeze|freezes]].

Kevasaurus: /* Prounouciation */ new section

==Name Origin==

About it's french name :
I'd just like to point out that it isn't from "mono" and "pale" (which just means pale btw, not blade), but "mono" and "vorpale" (like the Vorpal sword).
[[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 00:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I had a few ideas about the name origin as well. The "or" in "monorpale" means gold, so the name could be roughly translated to single gold blade perhaps. In its japanese name as well, "ki" could allude to "kin" which also means gold. -- [[User talk:Danjam|Danjam]] 00:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

No, I just said the french word "pale" means the same as the english word "pale" (as the opposite of dark), and not "blade" as is written on the article. Such a choice of word wouldn't make sense considering the more obvious possibility of the second word being "(V)orpale". If the "or" stood for "gold", then "mon or pale" would litterally mean "my pale gold", and would make no sense either. I'm standing with the "Mono" + "Vorpale" option, I'm only pointing it here because I lack permission to edit the actual article. [[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 01:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

The name in English may have been chosen as a play on "one edge", seeing that the Japanese and the French names have the word "one" (mono/hitotsu) in it.[[User:Fructis|Fructis]] ([[User talk:Fructis|talk]]) 15:04, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
:The name could also come from "honour", from the time of chivalry in the middle ages where swords were primarily used. [[User:Xolotl|Xolotl]] ([[User talk:Xolotl|talk]]) 15:18, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Could its name also have to do with homage to honor someone?--[[User:Pokemonboy3000|Pokemonboy3000]] ([[User talk:Pokemonboy3000|talk]]) 16:45, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

:Might it also come from "hone", as in "sharpen"? [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] ([[User talk:Lucentas|talk]]) 20:02, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
::I think that is correct. In fact, it's a glaringly obvious pun on "hone edge", as in, to hone the edge of the blade. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 20:57, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
:::The issue lies in the official pronunciation, which we haven't been given. It's obvious that it's a play on of "hone edge", but it may be pronounced like "on-edge" which implies that the first syllable of its name could make another language joke out of the entire name as a corruption of the word "homage"(this is assuming that we are supposed to pronounce its name like we're saying the phrase "on edge")[[User:Yveltal-is-roosting|Yveltal-is-roosting]] ([[User talk:Yveltal-is-roosting|talk]]) 08:42, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

What if it's name has to do with the word 'haunt." Honedge looks like a corruption of Hauntedge (except with out the T sound)

==Central Wiki==
Hi, there's the Italian page of Hitotsuki, can you add it http://wiki.pokemoncentral.it/Hitotsuki? Bye --[[User:Zapdos96|Zapdos96]] ([[User talk:Zapdos96|talk]]) 08:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Height and weight ==

Height is 0.8m and weight is 2kg; as older Pokémon show. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 11:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Origin ==
Instead of just saying "It seems to be based on a scabbard and sword which contains an ancient soul", why not say that it is based on a tsukumo-gami (artefact spirit)? Unless its origins are stated officially, I think Honedge is based on a sword and scabbard tsukumo-gami. --[[User:구미호 the Ninetales|Gumiho구미호]] ''([[User talk:구미호 the Ninetales|구미호 the Ninetales]])'' 14:32, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Is it also possible that it may be based on a magical/enchanted sword of legend, like the Kusanagi of Japan or Durendal from France?[[User:Yveltal-is-roosting|Yveltal-is-roosting]] ([[User talk:Yveltal-is-roosting|talk]]) 18:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

:Tsukumogami are born from objects that have "lived" for more than a hundred years. This is a sword haunted by a departed spirit. Slightly different. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 20:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Honedge ==

Honedge is the only Pokémon to have its French name revealed before its English name. Honedge might also be a pun on "one". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 14:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm. If you were to carelessly take this blade in hand, you may find that blue cloth wrapping around you...draining the energy from your body!
* Facts from pokemonxy.com
[[User:Pokeprof1|Pokeprof1]] ([[User talk:Pokeprof1|talk]]) 16:36, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Am I missing something, or is Honedge the first Pokémon with a [[Steel]]/[[Ghost]] type combination? If so, shouldn't this be on the trivia?--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

:You're not missing anything; it is definitely a first for its typing. [[User:Dudey997|In '97, Dudley]] [[User_talk:Dudey997|didn't]] [[Special:Contributions/Dudey997|do right.]] 21:24, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
::It's the first one revealed, but as far as I know, we've been waiting to put "unique type" trivia on the new Gen VI Pokemon because we don't know whether another Pokemon with the same type will be revealed. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:32, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Prounouciation ==

How do you prounce this, I'm making X and Y Updates on my Facebook and I'm wondering how I prounounce it.

===Surfing outside [[Turnback Cave]]===
I just thought that I'd point out that you can {{m|surf}} outside Turnback Cave with no music. What I did was I used {{m|Rock Climb}}, then immedietly got onto my [[List of key items in Generation IV#Bicycle|Bike]], then rode up to the water and press A (to surf). This all happened in a period of about 4 - 5 seconds, and I surfed around on the pond with no surfing music. It seems to only work the first time you try (I've done it twice), and this is for {{v2|Diamond}}. ~[[User:Takharii|Takhar]][[User talk:Takharii|eon]] 01:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:Hm... Maybe we should get another source... Anyone? [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 01:16, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
::I've heard of situation around [[Spring Path]] where riding the bike causes the music to stop, but I couldn't get it to work. Can you repeat it? If not, it might just be dust jamming the system or something. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:::I could make a video and YouTube it, if its neccesary, but yeah, it might be the game having trouble handling all the action, rather than a glitch. ~[[User:Takharii|Takhar]][[User talk:Takharii|eon]] 01:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
::::Well, a video would be good, but all I wanted to know was if it could be repeated. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, what I meant was: I've had this happen to me on two separate occasions (different days). The glitch occurs, then I try to repeat it (get off the pond and repeat the steps taken) and it doesn't seem to work. So it only works sometimes. I'll try to make a video, anyway. ~[[User:Takharii|Takhar]][[User talk:Takharii|eon]] 02:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

===Glitch with supereffectiveness using a move normally not very effective===

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IeGdpFRGtQ

As seen here, {{m|Discharge}} was used by {{p|Maggyo}} against a {{p|Denchura}}. Strangely, it was deemed supereffective by the game. Should this be added? - [[User:050294|050294]] 03:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
:The video has been taken down, so it was likely a fake. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:01, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

:::Per SnorlaxMonster --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 14:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

====Cause====
Note: This is based somewhat on presumed data. I'm pretty sure the game does this though.

Couldn't the cause of this come from the Kecleon only aiming for whoever its item or attacked it? If the Pass Scarf causes it to attack the enemy, the chain reaction would then cause it to act as a team member, as Kecleon's data {{tt|causes it to be on the opposite side of the one it attacked|I think it does at least}}. Since the enemy is then defeated, Kecleon follows the team to the next floor, but doesn't go farther than this because the game would {{tt|only|presumably}} make it ''act'' like a team member, rather than being one.

====Discussion regarding potential deletion====
This article has been marked for deletion. I'm not really in a position to give my opinion here... it seems just as notable as plenty of other glitches we have/have had articles on, but at the same time, it is sort of walkthrough-ish. Personally, I think all glitches with the exception of a select few should be merged into one article for all the glitches in each game, with subsections for each glitch. That's just me, though. Discuss. The article will likely be deleted within the next week or two if no convinving arguments are presented. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 19:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well, that is kinda what [[list of minor glitches]] is for, and what is really wanted is that it remains there but doesn't get its own page. However, having specific glitch sections on the articles of the games themselves is a good idea. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

===Similar to the cut glitch===

Giovanni drops a Silph Scope at the Game Corner in Generation 1, and it's possible to appear on top of it. Looking back, I wonder if that's normal.

Also, certain Pokemon cries will sound glitchy every couple replays in Generation 1. Pikachu's cry sounds different every six plays, for example [[User:Zouje|Zouje]] 17:43, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
#So you can just walk on top of it without a collision? How do you appear on top of it?
#Can you link to a video of this please? I'm interested. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:42, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:#Basically if you fight him from the left hand side the Silph Scope item ball appears in that same spot but remains invisible because of the priority of the player's sprite until you walk away. You can also stand on a boulder in Gold/Silver via the same stand on a tree method from Red/Blue and jump from a ledge and land on a person in Vermilion City.
:#Interrupting certain sound effects can cause minor 'oddities' such as these (try playing Electabuzz's cry immediately after Jynx's for instance). There is a related 'music doubling trick' where a 'sound effect is playing' flag doesn't activate the first time but I haven't been able to replicate it. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

===Raimon Gym Trainer glitch===

Could the glitch occur with Rich Boy Roland? Seeing as both him and Lady Colette are the only trainers are in the roller coaster cars, Roland could possibly be able to trigger this glitch. Also, can you still talk to Colette while she is on the track or does the game act like she is not there after the battle? {{unsigned|Super goku}} 21:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

===Grass next to stairs glitch===

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTe-BTQbw-s

Should it be added to the list? If it does, can someone do? My english sucks. :/ [[User:Metang|•●'''MΣƬΛПG'''●•]] 21:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

===Marowak Ghost Glitch===

Is there any proof that the Marowak Ghost-Pokedoll event is actually a glitch? Considering you can use a Pokedoll on pre-Scoped Ghastly to end battles, it doesn't seem likely that it is really a glitch. After all, the Marowak Ghost is still coded as a Pokemon, just an uncatch-able one. [[User:Scorponis|Scorponis]] 19:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
:For me it is a glitch. First for bypassing a major event, second because it doesn't occur in Firered/Leafgreen versions. [[User:Metang|•●'''MΣƬΛПG'''●•]] 20:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

===Poké Radar===

I noticed that when I have a chain of Pikachu on my Poké Radar in the Trophy Garden on my Pearl version, and I go into a spot on the edge of the grass, even if a Pikachu turns up from it, my chain ends. I am using a Max Repel to block all other Pokémon, and have a high enough level in my first slot for the Repel to work. Should this glitch be on here? [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]] 15:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:If you walk 7 or more steps to find a pokemon with radar the chain can break. Not a glitch. [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 03:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

===R/S/E Walk on water glitch===

There is a glitch in R/S/E where if you press B at the right time while entering the Seafloor Cave, you'll be asked to resurface while you're over its entrance. If you choose to do so, the game will put you on a rock in the water (not technically a water tile), so you'll be on your feet and able to walk on the water. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB4qqYYy7nc
I have tried it and I can verify that it works. Good for adding? [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] 21:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. (Oh hi Frezparce, I think I've seen you before from HoO forums) --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 21:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

===Potential additions===

I'm passing on some of the things I've been looking at to you people.

* Mail Trick glitch: If an enemy Pokémon tricks away your Mail you still keep it (JPN Ruby/Sapphire)
* After 1792 Battle Tower fights in Platinum/HG/SS (possibly D/P too) the Tower resets, but Tower Tycoon Palmer starts appearing again, as a normal, 'wannabe trainer' (see Tower Tycoon event skip).
* <s>Pressing B to resurface from underwater entrances (see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB4qqYYy7nc] (first uploaded here I believe: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqdLWm7rVf0]) + looked into a little here: [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gcltempboard&action=display&thread=233&page=2] ) </s>
* <s>Selfdestruct/Explosion audio glitch: Winning via a sacrificial move in Generation I plays the victory theme even though you black out (fixed in Gen II)</s>
* <s>Substitute glitch: Using Selfdestruct/Explosion on a Substitute will break it but not faint the user, the picture of the user disappears (Gen I)</s>
* Breaking through Paralysis/Burn: Increasing or decreasing the appropriate stat breaks through the drop (e.g. Agility when Paralysed breaks through hindering effect of Paralysis) (Gen I)
* Its possible to combine moves like Reflect and Barrier/Light Screen and Amnesia to roll-over 1023 Defense/Special Defense and consequently end up which much lower defences due to the larger number modulo 1024. (Gen I)
* A few glitches from PRAMA initative, like this walking Pikachu one [http://www.prama-initiative.com/index.php?page=glitches-mineurs-rbj-8#Pikachu]
* If a user's regular Ditto transforms and the player switches the transformation away to a shiny Pokémon the transformation momentarily appears shiny. (G/S) (need to verify)
* A shiny Ditto transforming into another Shiny Pokémon makes the transformation a normal Pokémon until DPPt (need to verify)
* A miss from Rage reduces its accuracy the next turn to 0.4%
* Focus Energy in Gen I is completely broken. [http://hax.iimarck.us/files/rbymoveinfo.txt]
* Other Red/Green select bugs like 'fossil conversion' except dokokashira if they're notable.
* Other Gen I battle mechanics related glitches e.g. [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openpkmn/index.php?title=Differences_in_Mechanics#Move_Mechanics_of_Note]
* Ledge glitch needs expanding to apply to a Gentleman west of Lilycove and [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gcltempboard&action=display&thread=265 a trainer in the Abandoned Ship]
* B/W AI oversight forcing trainer to send out fainted Pokémon (needs verifying) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPoQ6QRi3to]
* Pokémon Yellow critical save glitch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yXTpnUCh5Q]
* Pal Park ability change
* If you Pal Park a Pokémon with an accented name (from in-game trade from another localization) there's no support for the character when it reaches Gen IV (turns into a Japanese character instead) (thanks Blaziken257)
* Sketch glitch (G/S), Mimic glitch (JP D/P)
* A little problem where Shiny shadow Pokémon may change back to normal coloured Shadow Pokémon and vice versa (Colosseum) (needs verifying) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9dM0UDD7c4]
* Disappearing over-world Pokémon (a derivative of Trainer-Fly/Mew-Trick when your Start Button is disabled (Red/Blue)
* Life Orb glitch (Pokémon Battle Revolution)
* Magic Coated Dark Void glitch (Pokémon Battle Revolution)
* Japanese D/P Ace Trainer oversight [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaNIKkRSYiQ]

* Also Smogon reported on Slow Start (JP D/P), Choiced U-Turn (D/P), Choiced Pursuit (JP D/P) + Hitting through Protect without Shadow Force (D/P) glitches here [http://www.smogon.com/ingame/misc/gen4_glitches#choiced_pursuit] though RE: Choiced U-Turn there have been reports of it not working outside of battle simulators.
* The rumour that there is a chance a Master Ball will fail in Generation I, any video verification?

===Route 9 Biker Glitch (Gen V)===

This is probably a glitch, but it might be something done on purpose for whatever reason. I've only noticed this on Route 9, where two bikers are riding back and forth, but when you hold down B, ''they'' speed up. I'm in the process of checking whether this applies to other moving trainers or just them. --[[User:JRBockus|JRBockus]] 06:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

===False Thief Glitch===

Is this actually a glitch? If kelcon calls a price, I don't think so. It's like if someone drops an apple core on your lawn, it's yours, right? But if you just pick it up, forget what I said. [[User:Focus58|Focus]][[User talk:Focus58|58]] 22:19, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:Well, it is, because you don't get a choice whether or not to buy it, you just pick it up. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

===Trapped in Solaceon Town===

In Platinum version, I was trapped in Solaceon town for some odd reason. I just started from the last save, and as I was riding my bike up through Solaceon town, I hit an invisible barrier right where the border is to route 210.

===Black Belt Glitch===

What I don't understand is the whole reasoning behind it. First of all, how can consecutive spaces result in something like
D n i
o e n...
unless the program was something like
Opponent1::Say("D n i\n o e n...");
which would have made it intentional. Secondly, the letters are aligned correctly, something rare in glitches. If it was caused by spaces (the ASCII 0x20 variety) wrapping around like the HP bar in the Pomeg Glitch, ZZAZZ, Super Glitch (?), etc., even if it is a restricted text window (which is unlikely given the device type), the ' ' and '...' would have also alternated the line, resulting in
D n n
o e i ...
Thirdly, it could be a sort of joke among the programmers. What other 'phrase' do we know that follows this pattern?
P M
K N
So, once and for all, is it actually a glitch? I can't wrap my head around how it could (although there are some other glitches far more confusing). Or is it just an error in the coding, not related to consecutive spaces? (Driftveil's... Old... Lady... comes... to... mind...) In any case, the "glitch" either needs more detail or the detail present is incorrect.

== Oak Lab glitch? ==

I remember a few years ago (and I recently began to try it again) that when you are first at Oak's lab he will always ask you to choose what Pokemon you want. I found a neat but weird glitch where if you try to leave the lab he will call you back (nothing unusual). However like the Bike Glitch if you keep pressing B then after awhile the game glitches and you are unable to do anything. Don't know if this has been mentioned though... [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
: OK so I just tried this again a moment ago. Apparently pressing B while trying to leave will make you and Prof. Oak disappear and the game unplayable. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
::That sounds interesting. Any chance you could upload a video? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Where am I going to upload it to? But yea, used to do this glitch a lot when I was younger because I thought I could skip out on getting a starter. Not sure if this glitch can be done on an emulator. Found a video of it, pressing start afterward brings you right back, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iAF20EdMiU [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
:It's true, and its a legitimate glitch from long ago. It works on a real Game Boy, on {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. Though despite what [http://www.prama-initiative.com/index.php?page=glitches-mineurs-rbj#Labo PRAMA Initiative] say it doesn't seem to work on {{game|Yellow}}. You don't have to spam B, just keep closing the menu and holding down and it'll eventually glitch out. I read last year about a similar trick within the [[S.S. Anne]] itself, but I can't remember it unfortunately.

:You can also 'read' while pointing away from a bookshelf or scroll. The moment you press A, simply turn away. This can also be used with NPCs, to make them turn away but not talk to you.

==Expanding upon the Shiny Ditto glitch==
Perhaps there should be mention that it works on any Pokémon who uses Transform, not just Ditto? I haven't tested any of this out, but I heard you can get a Shiny Mew this way (as long as during the Mew glitch, you make sure that the Pokémon with the Special stat of 21 know Swords Dance and you let the encountered Ditto use Swords Dance at least twice, which will make the Mew that appears be over level 10 and able to use Transform). I've also heard that Shiny Pupitar, Tyranitar, and Lugia can be obtained this way (the Ghost forme, Kabutops fossil forme, and the Aerodactyl fossil forme MissingNo.s inherit attacks of the last Pokémon viewed, so view the Pokédex entry or stats page of a Ditto before the encounter and each of those MissingNo.s will be able to Transform... so get them to Transform into your Shiny Pokémon and catch them). When these three MissingNo. formes are traded over to Generation II they will become Pupitar, Tyranitar, and Lugia (if the game allows the trade... sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] all Pokémon that use Transform turn into {{p|Ditto}}. This normally isn't a problem, because Mew (normally) can't be found in the wild, but if you get a Pokémon like {{p|Spearow}} to {{m|Mirror Move}} Transform, it will also turn into {{p|Ditto}}. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 00:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::So you're saying that Shiny Mew and Shiny MissingNo.s would be impossible this way? Just wondering because I heard that someone has done it before... however, like I said, I never tested it so I have no idea if that person was lieing. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Unfortunately not, I don't think so. I haven't tested this particular glitch either, but I know out of experience that all Pokémon in Generation I and II which use {{m|Transform}} turn into {{p|Ditto}} upon capture. Presumably, it copies both species values (i.e. it becomes a stable Ditto all the time) but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The shiny Ditto glitch works because transforming copies a Pokémon's DVs, therefore the opponent "transforming into your transformation" copies the [[Effort values|DV]]s of the shiny Pokémon you used from Generation II. In Generation II, shiny Pokémon are determined by their DVs.

:::You might be interested in the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch]], but the shiny Pokémon you can get from it are unfortunately [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]]. There is another method of obtaining shiny Mew via an altered version of the [[remaining HP glitch]], [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=gcltempboard&thread=368&page=1 discovered by Paco81], but it's complicated and I don't really understand it. The idea is to manipulate the Pokémon's [[Effort values|DV]]s manually to create a shiny Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 01:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Change Magikarp into Mew (Pokémon Green)==
I recently added a glitch that turns a Magikarp into a Mew. Someone deleted it. Why is that? Is it because I never posted a discussion about it before editing the page? Sorry, I'm new... I don't exactly know the protocol of adding content to pages. If that's the reason, could someone let me know? Are we supposed to discuss everything before making major edits to the page? I just figured since it was a glitch with no mention then it'd be fine to add. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:38, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:It was me, but I added an article about it under [[second type glitch]], because it isn't specific to {{p|Magikarp}} or {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Don't worry about it. BTW, I replied to your discussion under [[Talk:Magikarp (Pokémon)]] --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 00:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Team rocket teleporting member glitch==
So in Pokemon Blue I'm at Safforon city and I got into the Pokemone center then exit. I make Red walk left and then up when the path turns and then right when the path branches off. I walk right and then talk to the team rocket member that says "Being evil makes me feel so alive!" I then walk past him and go forward till I'm in front of Silph Co. The team rocket member that is supposed to be sleeping next to the door is a few paces from his position. Going up to talk to him will make him warp back to the place at the door and likewise waiting a bit will also make him warp to the door. It is possible to stand on the place where the team rocket member was and then have the player standing on top of him. I don't know if this occurs just in Blue and Red versions so I was wondering if someone could possibly find out and then add it.

== Combine Save Surf glitch with S.S. Anne Reboard glitch ==

From my experience, the S.S. Anne Reboard glitch is just an application of the Save Surf glitch and should really be under the former glitch's section in the article. pikalax 05:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Artificial Pokémon

2013-06-24T20:53:44Z

Kevasaurus: /* #354 Banette */

In the [[Pokémon world]], a great deal of advanced technology is shown to be used by [[humans]]. Among this technology is the ability to create '''artificial Pokémon'''—{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have not emerged naturally but have been created, either through experiments or indirect means.

These Pokémon, other than being artificially created, are no different from natural Pokémon. They can breed, evolve, be found in the wild, be captured and be trained just as ordinary Pokémon would. Even these Pokémon have DNA which draws from the genetic code of {{p|Mew}}, the supposed ancestor of all other Pokémon besides these.

==Known artificial Pokémon==
===#088 Grimer and #089 Muk===
[[File:Grimer anime.png|right|thumb|Human pollution is the indirect cause of the formation of Grimer.]]
{{p|Grimer}} (and consequently {{p|Muk}}), according to several [[Pokédex]] entries, was created from human pollution in a stream which was exposed to x-rays from the Moon. This would make it the first (by Pokédex number) Pokémon to emerge due to involvement from humans. Because of the nature of its development, Grimer is highly toxic and uses {{type|Poison}} attacks.

===#100 Voltorb and #101 Electrode===
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|left|thumb|Voltorb takes on the appearance of a Poké Ball.]]
{{p|Voltorb}} (and consequently {{p|Electrode}}), according to several Pokédex entries, first appeared at the company where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. While it is not known why, Voltorb looks strikingly similar to the red and white device, and this likely indicates some level of human involvement. It has been speculated to be a conscious form of energy, a theory supported by its {{m|Selfdestruct|unstable nature}}.

===#137 Porygon, #233 Porygon2, and #474 Porygon-Z===
[[File:Porygon Zero.png|right|thumb|Porygon can exist as computer data in cyberspace.]]
Before the discovery of {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon". It is made up entirely of computer data and programming, and is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction. Also, Porygon does not breathe. Its Pokédex entry in {{game|Yellow}} speculates it may be capable of space travel; however, this and other abilities are limited to what is included in its program.

Porygon possesses two evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space. However, its Pokédex entry in {{game|Platinum}} states it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Porygon2, unlike Porygon, is not limited to what is contained in its program - it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}. It is apparently a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned and exhibits erratic behavior. Its body and head are in awkward positions, and it is capable of displaying emotion.

===#150 Mewtwo===
[[File:Mewtwo anime.png|left|thumb|Mewtwo was created artificially as a clone of Mew.]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful legendary Pokémon which is the result of gene splicing experiments using the DNA of {{p|Mew}}. According to logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in Kanto, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|Egg}}s. It has a somewhat artificial appearance, most notably the tube protruding from the back of its neck. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy. However, Mewtwo's power was amplified to exceed Mew's power in an effort to create the most powerful Pokémon ever created.

===#343 Baltoy and #344 Claydol===
Many Pokédex entries of {{p|Claydol}} state that it and its pre-evolution, {{p|Baltoy}}, were originally clay figures created by ancient people. The figures came to life after being exposed to mystical rays.

===#351 Castform===
[[File:Bart.png|right|thumb|Castform was created by scientists and can change forms with the weather.]]
{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]]. It was created to help the scientists predict the weather - because of this, it has the ability to change its [[Form differences|form]] and type with the [[Weather conditions|weather condition]].

===#354 Banette===
{{p|Banette}} is a plush doll that was thrown away and was possessed by {{p|Shuppet}}. Because of being thrown away, it seeks the child that disowns it

===#568 Trubbish and #569 Garbodor===
{{p|Trubbish}}'s, and consequently {{p|Garbodor}}'s, Pokédex entries says it was created when a garbage dump accidentally had a chemical change of some sort.

===#622 Golett and #623 Golurk===
{{p|Golett}} and {{p|Golurk}} were apparently created by an ancient civilization to protect people and Pokémon alike.

==Other Pokémon influenced by humans==
Some Pokémon that formed naturally are shown to be altered in some way by human involvement.

===#386 Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus which fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|Form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.

===#412 Burmy and #413 Wormadam===
[[File:Wormadam Trash.png|left|thumb|Wormadam donning the Trash Cloak]]
{{p|Burmy}} create outer cloaks out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial building insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy can change its cloak depending on the area it is used to battle in.

Female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}}, which retain the last cloak it had as a Burmy. This may be the artificial Trash Cloak. If so, it will be a {{2t|Bug|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

===#442 Spiritomb===
{{p|Spiritomb}} were once 108 separate entities whose sins caused their spirits to be bound together into the [[Odd Keystone]] as this Pokémon. The Keystones were then separated from the [[Hallowed Tower]], which triggers Spiritomb's release.

===#479 Rotom===
[[File:Mow Rotom anime.png|right|thumb|Rotom has the ability to take over man-made appliances, such as this lawnmower.]]
{{p|Rotom}} has the ability to possess artificial machinery. These include toasters, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans and lawnmowers. These allow Rotom to learn moves of different types and change its [[base stats]], while its Ghost typing is lost and substituted with a type characteristic of the possessed object.

===#649 Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a legendary Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in Unova, Team Plasma reconstructed it from a Fossil with the goal to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Following the style for other people that have been retyped, Magnemite/Magneton and Rotom's alternate forms, shouldn't all Pokémon retyped to Fairy have a little marker next to them indicating that this typing only applies to Gen VI onwards?

== Idea to avoid confusion on individual type pages ==

I think it is confusing to have Pokemon's old type status (such as Magnemite and Magneton being listed as pure Electric) in the lists on the individual pages. Now with the somewhat major retconning of Fairy type, where quite a few Pokemon are going to get retyped (or at least have Fairy type added), I think it is a good time to think about taking off these old type statuses, that do not represent the current type status of the Pokemon in question. We could make a page called "Former Pokemon Types" and list those Pokemon, the old type, the new type, and what generation it was changed. Right now we only have to fix Magnemite, Magneton, Rotom, and any Pokemon that get confirmed to get or become Fairy type. Anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 07:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
:I don't like the idea of moving them to an entirely different page; it makes the information less obviously accessible. Maybe we could just have subheaders? So, for example, in the "Water (type)" page, we could have the "Pure Water-type Pokemon" section without Marill in it and with a "Formerly pure Water-type Pokemon" subsection, which would include Marill as well as an explanation that it was from Gen 2-5, and then go on to the "Half Water-type Pokemon" section with Marill in it as Water/Fairy. (I do like the idea of ''also'' having a place to aggregate all retyped Pokemon. I've suggested a category for it previously.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, it had bothered me a little bit before that Magnemite, Magneton, and Rotom, showed both the old types and new types in the same chart, but now with Fairy type (and I'm guessing at least 30 Pokemon getting the type), I really think now is the time to start making decisition like having a category page and changing how we treat the "former typed Pokemon" in the tables.

== Idea to avoid confusion on individual type pages ==

I think it is confusing to have Pokemon's old type status (such as Magnemite and Magneton being listed as pure Electric) in the lists on the individual pages. Now with the somewhat major retconning of Fairy type, where quite a few Pokemon are going to get retyped (or at least have Fairy type added), I think it is a good time to think about taking off these old type statuses, that do not represent the current type status of the Pokemon in question. We could make a page called "Former Pokemon Types" and list those Pokemon, the old type, the new type, and what generation it was changed. Right now we only have to fix Magnemite, Magneton, Rotom, and any Pokemon that get confirmed to get or become Fairy type. Anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 07:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
:I don't like the idea of moving them to an entirely different page; it makes the information less obviously accessible. Maybe we could just have subheaders? So, for example, in the "Water (type)" page, we could have the "Pure Water-type Pokemon" section without Marill in it and with a "Formerly pure Water-type Pokemon" subsection, which would include Marill as well as an explanation that it was from Gen 2-5, and then go on to the "Half Water-type Pokemon" section with Marill in it as Water/Fairy. (I do like the idea of ''also'' having a place to aggregate all retyped Pokemon. I've suggested a category for it previously.)

Yeah, it had bothered me a little bit before that Magnemite, Magneton, and Rotom, showed both the old types and new types in the same chart, but now with Fairy type (and I'm guessing at least 30 Pokemon getting the type), I really think now is the time to start making decisition like having a category page and changing how we treat the "former typed Pokemon" in the tables.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS AT THE TOP, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET IT DOWN!!!

Pokebeach claims they have a leaker that poasted them informaion and he worked at GameFreak. In fact, he was found by Nintendo, and fired. Anyway, one thing he said is the type matchups for it. This is probably true considering he got the english names for the 4 new Pokemon(one of the foure being Gogoat) In Febuary, he revealed the name for Helioptile's attack right. And he said that there would be sky battles. He said there would be sky battles in Febuary. Anyway, here's what he said about the Fairy Type

Fairy will be new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

So, please, take it upon yourself to put that in the type matchup section. If you want to be with caution, then okay.

::True, but still, the word ''retcon'' is a little bit slangy/casual/Newspeaky, no? Wouldn't the phrase "such-and-such Pokemon were ''changed'' to be Fairy-type" suffice? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:54, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Couldn't we use something besides retcon? It would be nicer if it were worded like " In generation 6 (insert pokemon here) were revealed to be Fairy type."

== Idea to avoid confusion on individual type pages ==

I think it is confusing to have Pokemon's old type status (such as Magnemite and Magneton being listed as pure Electric) in the lists on the individual pages. Now with the somewhat major retconning of Fairy type, where quite a few Pokemon are going to get retyped (or at least have Fairy type added), I think it is a good time to think about taking off these old type statuses, that do not represent the current type status of the Pokemon in question. We could make a page called "Former Pokemon Types" and list those Pokemon, the old type, the new type, and what generation it was changed. Right now we only have to fix Magnemite, Magneton, Rotom, and any Pokemon that get confirmed to get or become Fairy type. Anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 07:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
:I don't like the idea of moving them to an entirely different page; it makes the information less obviously accessible. Maybe we could just have subheaders? So, for example, in the "Water (type)" page, we could have the "Pure Water-type Pokemon" section without Marill in it and with a "Formerly pure Water-type Pokemon" subsection, which would include Marill as well as an explanation that it was from Gen 2-5, and then go on to the "Half Water-type Pokemon" section with Marill in it as Water/Fairy. (I do like the idea of ''also'' having a place to aggregate all retyped Pokemon. I've suggested a category for it previously.)

Yeah, it had bothered me a little bit before that Magnemite, Magneton, and Rotom, showed both the old types and new types in the same chart, but now with Fairy type (and I'm guessing at least 30 Pokemon getting the type), I really think now is the time to start making decisition like having a category page and changing how we treat the "former typed Pokemon" in the tables.

It says that Marill, Gardevoir, and Jigglypuff were "retconned" into being Fairy-types. Believe it or not, "retcon" is not a real word, so should it be changed to something else?

Talk:Fairy (type)

2013-06-20T15:49:40Z

Kevasaurus: /* Intro */

Pokebeach claims they have a leaker that poasted them informaion and he worked at GameFreak. In fact, he was found by Nintendo, and fired. Anyway, one thing he said is the type matchups for it. This is probably true considering he got the english names for the 4 new Pokemon(one of the foure being Gogoat) In Febuary, he revealed the name for Helioptile's attack right. And he said that there would be sky battles. He said there would be sky battles in Febuary. Anyway, here's what he said about the Fairy Type

Fairy will be new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.

So, please, take it upon yourself to put that in the type matchup section. If you want to be with caution, then okay.

== Confirmed Fairy-types ==
Aside from Sylveon as the first pure Fairy-type, Pokecom.com has confirmed that Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy, Marill is Water/Fairy and Jigglypuff in Normal/Fairy.

== Retyping notice ==

Following the style for other people that have been retyped, Magnemite/Magneton and Rotom's alternate forms, shouldn't all Pokémon retyped to Fairy have a little marker next to them indicating that this typing only applies to Gen VI onwards?

e.g. <nowiki>{{tt|*|Generation VI onwards}}</nowiki> which should comes out as: {{tt|*|Generation VI onwards}} 

I would add it myself but I'm not an autoconfirmed user. - [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] ([[User talk:Tasty Salamanders|talk]]) 23:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Other type interactions ==

We can't say for sure yet, but Fairy appears to also be either neutral or super-effective against Flying, since it hits for super-effective on Salamence. Just thought I'd put this here for later reference. [[User:Skarthe|Skarthe]] ([[User talk:Skarthe|talk]]) 23:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

====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 is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a 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, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, 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 {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Noland Articuno.png|thumb|250px|right|Articuno in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to {{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
An Articuno appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

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

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|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 {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

====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 is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a 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, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, 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 {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to {{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
An Articuno appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

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

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|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 {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

====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 is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a 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, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, 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 {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to {{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
An Articuno appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

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

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|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 {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

====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 is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a 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, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, 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 {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Noland Articuno.png|thumb|250px|right|Articuno in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to {{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
An Articuno appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

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

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|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 {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).
