ArticunoSun Moon Promos #SM144 Pokémon Card

Articuno, the legendary Freeze Pokémon, is one of the three legendary bird Pokémon of Kanto, alongside Zapdos and Moltres. This majestic Ice/Flying type Pokémon is often depicted as a graceful and powerful creature that brings blizzards by freezing moisture in the air. Articuno is known for its ability to generate extremely cold air, causing snow to fall wherever it flies. Its natural habitat is typically cold, mountainous regions, often found in caves or remote, icy peaks. Articuno is a solitary Pokémon, rarely seen by humans, and is said to appear to travelers lost in icy mountains to guide them to safety. Introduced in Generation I, Articuno has no evolutionary line but is a pivotal figure in the lore of the Kanto region. In the games, it is a formidable opponent, often found in Seafoam Islands, and plays a significant role in the anime, particularly in the movie "Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One," where it is one of the three legendary birds crucial to maintaining global balance. Its elegant design and powerful ice abilities have cemented its status as a fan favorite and a symbol of winter's beauty and harshness.
