===Pokémon of the day: Articuno===
===Your move: Extremespeed===
* '''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.
* '''ExtremeSpeed''' (Japanese: '''しんそく''' ''Godspeed'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was the [[Signature move]] of {{p|Arcanine}} in {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
* 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]].
* In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Extremespeed always went first regardless of the opponent's speed, unless they used a move with a higher [[priority]]. If the opposing Pokémon uses a move with the same priority as Extremespeed, the order of the attacks will be calculated normally. In [[Generation V]], Extremespeed's priority became +2.  
* In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], Articuno can be found [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] around [[Sinnoh]].
* {{p|Smeargle}} was the only Pokémon to receive [[STAB]] from Extremespeed until a special {{p|Zigzagoon}} was released with the attack, and the move became available to more Pokémon in [[Generation IV]].
* 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.
* Extremespeed was featured on four events Pokémon: [[List_of_North_American_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2011#English_Winter_2011_Raikou|Raikou]], [[List_of_North_American_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2011#English_Winter_2011_Entei|Entei]], [[List_of_North_American_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2011#English_Winter_2011_Suicune|Suicune]], and [[List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2008#GameStop_Deoxys|Deoxys]].
* In the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' 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}}.
* Extremespeed was also one of the moves known by the {{p|Lucario}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], used as a recovery move when the player pressed ↑+B.
* 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.
