In Pokemon Go, Articuno has made another surprise appearance, along with other Legendaries that players can catch. However, they are only available for a limited time and can be quite tricky to defeat. Likewise, Articuno is a Legendary Ice/Flying Pokemon with fairly high Defense and HP, which might make the raid a bit tougher. But don’t worry, there are a few counters you can take advantage of. The tricky part, however, is actually encountering this Pokemon, as its spawn rate will be quite low. However, if you are up for the challenge, we have listed everything on how to easily find and counter Articuno below.
