Moves
========

Freeze-Dry is preferred over other Ice-type attacks so that Articuno can reliably damage Water-types like Lanturn, Jellicent, and Omastar. Hidden Power Fighting targets Steel- and Rock-types such as Alolan Sandslash, Aggron, and Aurorus.

Set Details
========

Flyinium Z grants Articuno a perfectly accurate Flying-type nuke that lets it easily dispatch of threats such as Skuntank, Stoutland, and Hitmonchan without having to risk missing Hurricane.

Usage Tips
========

Articuno is best used mid- to late-game to clean teams once checks such as Regirock, Cryogonal, and Metang have been weakened or removed entirely. If using Articuno early-game, keep in mind that it commonly draws in Steel-types such as Alolan Sandslash and Aggron; therefore, it is capable of luring in and KOing such Pokemon with Hidden Power Fighting after Supersonic Skystrike. Articuno struggles to break counters such as Type: Null and Cryogonal due to their bulk and recovery, so it's advised to double switch to checks to these Pokemon to pressure or eliminate them. Articuno is susceptible to being worn down by Stealth Rock and weaker attacks from the likes of Froslass, Jellicent, and Roselia. Take advantage of its ability to force switches against Pokemon like Gurdurr and Tangela by recovering health with Roost.

Team Options
========

Stealth Rock severely limits Articuno's ability to switch in and wallbreak, so entry hazard removal from the likes of Skuntank, Hitmonchan, and Kabutops is required. Articuno also appreciates Kabutops pressuring Fire-types as well as Lycanroc. Similarly, Articuno benefits from teammates such as Mudsdale and Poliwrath, which can switch into Rock-type attacks aimed its way. Mudsdale also provides Stealth Rock support, which aids Articuno in wallbreaking. Despite Articuno's good coverage, it struggles to break blanket special walls such as Audino, Type: Null, and Assault Vest Eelektross; Pokemon such as Gurdurr, Primeape, and Choice Band Guzzlord put immense pressure on them. Additionally, Primeape can safely bring Articuno into battle with U-turn, both Gurdurr and Primeape can manage Rock-types like Regirock and Lycanroc, and Guzzlord can easily beat Metang. In return, Articuno can pressure Pokemon such as Tangela and Mudsdale for the former two and Fighting-types such as Hitmonchan for the latter. Choice item Mesprit variants, Stoutland, and Choice Band Dodrio appreciate Articuno's ability to weaken or remove Steel-types like Aggron and Alolan Sandslash, enabling them to spam their STAB attacks more freely. In return, the latter two help weaken Regirock.

• Freeze-Dry is preferred to other Ice-type attacks so that Articuno has to way to reliably damage Water-types like Lanturn, Carracosta, and Kabutops (would rather make this omastar tbh, kabu is scarf like 90% of the time so youd have to catch it hard switching which it should never rly do on any cuno set).
• Hidden Power Fighting rounds out Articuno's coverage by targeting Steel- and Rock-types such as Alolan Sandslash, Aggron, and Aurorus.

Set Details
========

• Flyinium Z grants Articuno a perfectly accurate Flying-type nuke that lets it easily dispatch of threats such as Skuntank and Stoutland as well as Hitmonchan without having to risk missing Hurricane.

Usage Tips
========

• Articuno should take advantage of its solid coverage and powerful Supersonic Skystrike to function as an early- to mid-game wallbreaker to support its teammates (i would only use it early-game if its intention is to catch steels or checks to other cuno sets off-guard, otherwise you dont rly have the firepower to be an effective breaker early on).
• Because Articuno commonly draws in Steel-types such as Alolan Sandslash and Aggron, it is usually better to predict such a switch and catch them with Hidden Power Fighting instead of recklessly throw out its Z-Move.
• Articuno is susceptible to being worn down by Stealth Rock and weaker attacks from the likes of Froslass, Jellicent, and Roselia. Take advantage of its ability to force switches against Pokemon like Gurdurr and Tangela to recover health with Roost.

Team Options
========

• Stealth Rock severely limits Articuno's ability to switch in and wallbreak due to its 4x weakness to it, so entry hazard removal from the likes of Skuntank, Hitmonchan, and Kabutops. Articuno also appreciates Kabutops pressuring Fire-types as well as Lycanroc.
• Similarly, Articuno benefits from teammates such as Mudsdale and Poliwrath that can switch into Rock-type attacks aimed its way. Mudsdale also provides Stealth Rock support, which aids Articuno in wallbreaking.
• Despite Articuno's good coverage, it struggles to break blanket special walls such as Audino, Type: Null, and Assault Vest Eelektross; therefore, Pokemon such as Gurdurr, Primeape, and Guzzlord that put immense pressure on them make for solid teammates (guzzlord is kind of a wack eel answer since they're almost always drain punch so maybe specify cb. mention metang as something it can deal with for cuno too). Additionally, Primeape can safely bring Articuno into battle with U-turn, while both Gurdurr and Primeape can manage Rock-types like Regirock and Lycanroc for Articuno. In return, Articuno can pressure Pokemon such as Tangela and Mudsdale for the former two and Fighting-types such as Hitmonchan for the latter.
• Choice item Mesprit variants pair well alongside Articuno, as they appreciate its ability to weaken or remove Steel-types like Aggron and Alolan Sandslash, enabling them to spam Psychic more freely (stoutland and choice dodrio are also good mentions).

Freeze-Dry is preferred to other Ice-type attacks so that Articuno has to way to reliably damage Water-types like Lanturn, Carracosta, and Omastar jellicent should really get a specific mention here, probably over one of the smashers.

i think a good added tip is that articuno doesnt really chip away at its counters, they tend to be the kind of mons that take too little or have good recovery so ur better off using smart double switches than hitting them over and over w/cuno
