BY JC Paredes • 5 years AGO • 1 MIN READ

Pokemon Go’s Articuno is weak to Fire, Steel, and Electric-type moves. Moreover, Articuno is twice as weak against Rock-type. It is, however, resistant to Ground, Grass, and Bug-type moves. Articuno’s moveset is almost entirely comprised of ice-type moves. Here are Articunos’s weaknesses, counters, and how you can beat it.

How To Beat

Flying, Ground, Grass, and Dragon-type Pokemon should be avoided at all costs, as they will be completely mutilated. Avoid using Poison, Steel, Fire, and Electric-types if you know you’re going up against an Articuno with Ancient Power. Not to mention that this is the only Ground-type move it has. Ground-type moves are also weak to Rock-types. However, Articuno’s dual Rock weakness outweighs this.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
