PU Galarian Articuno

[Stories]

Articuno-Galar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Competitive
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock / Psychic Noise
- Hurricane
- Recover

Galarian Articuno lives up to its title as a legendary Pokemon in the PU tier as one of the most prolific setup sweepers around! With its great stats and access to Recover, Galarian Articuno can reliably set up Calm Mind and mow down the opposition with its powerful Hurricane. Psyshock lets Galarian Articuno break past opposing setup sweepers like Calm Mind Florges and Dudunsparce. Alternatively, Psychic Noise lets Galarian Articuno overwhelm special walls like Cramorant and Florges. Tera Steel also aids in these setup wars and shields Galarian Articuno from Rock-type moves and Toxic. Because Psyshock can overwhelm special walls, Galarian Articuno supports other special setup sweepers like Frosmoth and Salazzle. Competitive works as a great deterrent to Defog, so Spikes setters like Qwilfish and Alolan Sandslash are good partners for the bird, alongside the likes of Florges and Wo-Chien as Dark-resistant teammates.

i would consider a mention of psychic noise somewhere as psyshock does make rhydon a bit of a pain to deal with and limiting recovery on stuff like florges, cram, altaria etc can be very useful. looks good otherwise, 1/1
