Articuno-Galar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Future Sight
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Recover

Legendaries in PU? The power creep that came with the Crown Tundra DLC has brought Galarian Articuno down to the tier, and it has quickly made a name for itself. Future Sight puts immense pressure on Galarian Articuno's switch-ins like Gigalith, and U-turn lets it bring in a wallbreaker that can take advantage of these switch-ins. Hurricane provides Galarian Articuno with an immediate damage option, while Recover lets it heal off chip damage. Competitive punishes Defoggers, which makes Galarian Articuno a choice on entry hazard stacking teams. Spikes support from Pokemon such as Froslass and Qwilfish further help chip down its checks. Fighting-types such as Passimian and Hitmontop appreciate Future Sight support to break past Fighting-resistant foes like Cofagrigus. In return, they beat Steel-types that Galarian Articuno struggles with, like Togedemaru. Galarian Articuno hates Rock-types such as Archeops and Regirock, so it appreciates Pokemon that can switch into them, such as Sandaconda. Defensive Aggron can use Roar to force a Pokemon to take Future Sight while also providing Stealth Rock support.

Legendaries in PU? The power creep that came with the Crown Tundra DLC has brought Galarian Articuno down to the tier, and it has quickly made a name for itself. Future Sight puts immense pressure on Galarian Articuno's switchins, like Gigalith, and U-turn lets it bring in a breaker that can abuse Galarian Articuno's switchins. Hurricane provides it with an immediate damage option. Recover lets Galarian Articuno heal off random chip damage, such as stray U-turns and sandstorm damage this feels weird to mention, just to w what it can switch into defensively in practice. Fighting-types such as Passimian and Gallade use like any fighting besides gallade heavily appreciate the Future Sight support Galarian Articuno provides, as it lets them break past Fighting resists like Weezing and Cofagrigus easier. In return, they can break the Steel-types that Galarian Articuno struggles with like Aggron and Togedemaru, with Passimian also forming a U-turn core with it prob have to say guno. Articuno hates both Knock Off and Rock-types, so it greatly appreciates Pokemon that can switch into both. Sandaconda and Levitate Weezing are solid checks to Rock-types like Aggron and Archeops while being able to absorb Knock Off. They also provide hazards support to wear down Galarian Articuno's checks this last portion doesnt read too smoothly, could b more concise as x are guno checks and y deals with them. not actually saying knock users is a bit weird too. would prefer using aggron as suggested partner so u can fit a roar + future sight good thing.

mention competitive somewhere
lmk when this is implemented so i can give quick read again for the end (dillon#0001 disc or just smog)

GP 1/1. If you want to save more characters, just remove the part about Recover because its just filler at this point.
