Articuno (フリーザー, Freezer) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Origin
Articuno is an Ice/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #144 as the "Freeze Pokémon". Along with Zapdos and Moltres, Articuno is part of a trio commonly referred to as the legendary birds.
Icy Wind is an Ice-type special move with 55 base power and 95% accuracy, which affects all adjacent foes and reduces by one stage the Speed of every target. Articuno does not learn it naturally, but can learn it by TM16 in Generation II and by Move Tutor in several later games.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Trophy information
- Articuno
- Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this legendary Pokémon takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include Ice Beam and Blizzard. (Pokémon Red & Blue 09/98)
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Articuno only appears as a trophy exclusive to the 3DS version.
