[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Articuno is a chilling Calm Mind sweeper thanks to Competitive, decent Speed, fantastic Special Attack, potent STAB move options, and access to reliable recovery. The many Psychic-type STAB options Galarian Articuno has enable it to pick and choose its checks, adding to its unpredictability and threat level. Psyshock is particularly effective against specially bulky foes because it targets their weaker Defense, which makes it useful against Goodra, Frosmoth, and Calm Mind users like Florges. Psychic Noise suffocates walls like Milotic and Dudunsparce that depend on their recovery moves. Freezing Glare has greater power than Psychic Noise, and it hits physically bulky Pokemon like Mudsdale and Rhydon harder than Psyshock. Hurricane's amazing power is useful for overwhelming Wo-Chien and Scrafty, but Air Slash's consistency makes Galarian Articuno a more reliable sweeper. Heavy-Duty Boots negate Galarian Articuno's Stealth Rock weakness, enabling it to switch in and attempt to set up multiple times. A bulky EV spread enables Galarian Articuno to more comfortably switch in and take repeated attacks so it can set up, while a more offensive EV spread makes Galarian Articuno a more immediately threatening sweeper that doesn't require as many turns to snowball. Tera Steel grants Galarian Articuno a solid defensive typing that improves its matchups against problematic foes like Alolan Sandslash, Frosmoth, and Hisuian Qwilfish. Galarian Articuno especially values the poison immunity granted by Tera Steel against Toxic users like Bellibolt and Skuntank. Alternatively, Tera Fairy makes Galarian Articuno immune to Dragon Tail, which improves its matchups against phazers like Goodra and Dudunsparce. Additionally, Tera Fairy provides a solid defensive profile and flips Galarian Articuno's Dark weakness into a resistance, leading to better matchups against Dark-types like Scrafty and Zoroark.

Balance and bulky offense teams welcome Galarian Articuno's capabilities as a sweeper and effective wallbreaker against defensive staples. Physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F, Ambipom, and Rhydon especially appreciate Galarian Articuno's ability to switch into and threaten foes like Altaria, Mudsdale, and Hisuian Decidueye. Spikes setters, such as Alolan Sandslash and Hisuian Qwilfish, provide support to Galarian Articuno by setting up entry hazards to wear down its grounded checks, including opposing Alolan Sandslash, Dudunsparce, and Goodra, and Galarian Articuno can punish Defog users like Altaria for attempting to remove its teammates' hazards. Milotic, Skuntank, and Paldean Tauros-F can check Dark-type revenge killers like Zoroark and Sneasel that would otherwise take down Galarian Articuno, while Bellibolt, Palossand, and Mudsdale can similarly intercept threats like Pawmot and Ambipom. Walls vulnerable to Hisuian Decidueye, such as Dudunsparce and Wo-Chien, appreciate Galarian Articuno's ability to check it, and in return, these partners can wear down foes with status and chip damage, allowing Galarian Articuno to sweep more effectively.

Galarian Articuno is a chilling Calm Mind sweeper thanks to its decent Speed, fantastic Special Attack, potent STAB move options, and access to reliable recovery. The many Psychic-type STAB options Galarian Articuno has enable it to pick and choose its checks; Psyshock nails specially bulky foes on their frailer physical side, which is helpful against Goodra and Frosmoth as well as opposing Calm Mind users like Florges; Psychic Noise's heal block effect suffocates walls like Milotic and Dudunsparce that depend on their recovery moves; Freezing Glare has greater power than Psychic Noise, and it hits physically bulky Pokemon like Mudsdale and Rhydon harder than Psyshock. Hurricane's amazing power is helpful for overwhelming Wo-Chien and Scrafty, but Air Slash's consistency makes Galarian Articuno more reliable when it finds the opportunity to sweep. Heavy-Duty Boots mitigate Galarian Articuno's Rock weakness, enabling it to switch in and attempt to set up multiple times. Competitive can open opportunities for Galarian Articuno to gain a burst of power by exploiting Defoggers like Hisuian Decidueye, Cramorant, and Altaria, and it punishes Intimidate users like Paldean Tauros-F, Arcanine, and Hisuian Qwilfish. A bulky EV spread enables Galarian Articuno to more comfortably switch in and take repeated attacks so it can set up, while a more offensive EV spread makes Galarian Articuno a more immediately threatening sweeper that doesn't require as many turns to snowball. Tera Steel grants Galarian Articuno a solid defensive typing that improves its matchups against problematic foes like Alolan Sandslash, Frosmoth, and Hisuian Qwilfish. Galarian Articuno especially values the poison immunity from Tera Poison (do you mean tera steel?) against Toxic users like Bellibolt and Skuntank. Alternatively, Tera Fairy makes Galarian Articuno immune to Dragon Tail for better matchups against phazers like Milotic, Goodra, and Dudunsparce, and a Fairy typing is still a solid defensive typing that also flips Galarian Articuno's Dark weakness into a resistance.

Balance and bulky offense teams welcome Galarian Articuno's capabilities as a sweeper and effective wallbreaker against defensive staples. Physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F, Ambipom, and Rhydon especially appreciate Galarian Articuno's ability to switch in against and threaten foes like Milotic (eh, altaria makes more sense here imo. it can't fight back nearly as much as milo and almost never runs haze.), Mudsdale, and Hisuian Decidueye. Spikes setters like Alolan Sandslash and Hisuian Qwilfish provide Galarian Articuno with support by setting up hazards to wear down its grounded checks, including opposing Alolan Sandslash, Dudunsparce, and Goodra, and Galarian Articuno can punish Defog users for attempting to remove its teammates' hazards. Milotic, Skuntank, and Paldean Tauros-F can switch into Dark-type revenge killers like Zoroark and Sneasel that would cut down Galarian Articuno, while Bellibolt, Palossand, and Mudsdale can similarly intercept threats like Pawmot and Ambipom. Galarian Articuno's ability to check Hisuian Decidueye is appreciated by walls vulnerable to being overwhelmed by it, including Dudunsparce and Wo-Chien. (both examples here are good at wearing stuff down and setting up for galarcuno to win, either with status or knock off.)
