Articuno is a legendary Pokémon that can be summoned via a [[Poké Ball]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Articuno's appearance is rare due to its status as a legendary Pokémon, and general high power. Its chance of appearing out of a Poké Ball is highly increased in the [[event match]] [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Articuno uses Icy Wind as its attack, where it will unleash a blast of frost from its body. Any character in Icy Wind's attack radius will take 25% damage and be frozen for a few seconds, much like being affected by a [[Freezie]]. Characters that are affected by Articuno's Icy Wind will also be sent towards the top of the screen with very high [[knockback]], with most characters (except for [[fast faller]]s and most [[heavyweight]]s) being [[OHKO]]'d on [[Final Destination]]. Articuno's attack cannot harm the summoner. | |||
