Articuno Raid Guide

Articuno is dual Ice- and Flying-type Legendary Pokémon available in 5-star Raids.

It is duoable under certain conditions and with the right counters, however a trio is easily accomplished with teams consisting of top Rock-, Steel-, Fire-, and Electric-type counters such as Rampardos, Rhyperior, Terrakion, Darmanitan, and many more. For lower-level Trainers or Trainers lacking the proper counters we recommend raiding in larger groups (4-20) to take down this Icy Bird.

ARTICUNO COUNTERS

Because every Raid sim is just a little bit different, we have assembled an aggregate of three of the top Raid sims available. Pokebattler, GoHub, and GamePress all offer quality Raid sims with slight differences once you get past the top-tier counters.

ARTICUNO YOUTUBER CONTENT

Here’s a collection of YouTuber content focused on Articuno Raids.

In these videos, you will find counters, short-man experiences, and tips & tricks to help you in your battles against the Freeze Pokémon. Note that these videos are outdated, and CP and top counters will be different. We will update these videos once new content becomes available.

ICE ICE BABY

Is the Freeze Pokémon worth your Raid Pass? It depends. It’s still a solid Ice-type in PvE, and it definitely has its use in PvP, especially in Ultra League. If you don’t have the Shiny, that’s another reason to raid for it. Conclusion: it’s totally up to you! Keep up to date with the availability of Articuno in Raids by checking out the Current Raid Boss List on our Homepage.
