Appearance

Articuno is one of the three legendary birds whose specific element is ice. It is a large bird that has enourmous wings that are all blue. The outer lining of its wings are a slight grayish-white color as well as its stomach. Frost can be seen around Articuno as it flies.

Role

Articuno is a legendary Pokémon that appears out of Poké Balls in Melee. Articuno's appearance is rare since it is a legendary Pokémon. Its chance of appearing out of a Poké Ball is doubled in the event match Legendary Pokémon. Articuno uses Blizzard as its attack, where it will unleash a blast of ice from its body. Any character that is in Blizzard's attack radius will take damage and be frozen for a few seconds, much like being affected by a Freezie. Characters that are also affected by Articuno's Blizzard will be sent towards the top of the screen; lighter characters will have a good chance of dying at low percentages from this attack. Articuno's attack does not harm the summoner.
