Articuno appeared in 1996 video game called Pokémon Red & Green. Articuno is a Freeze Pokémon in its Galarian form it's known as the Cruel Pokémon. When Articuno flaps its wings, the air turns chilly. This Legendary Pokémon often brings snowfall in its wake.
Articuno is a large bird with blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its head crest and long, streaming tail. Its body is colored sky-blue, while growing lighter on its front, and its chest is a lighter blue than anything. Its most distinctive trait is its large wings, which are said to be made of ice. Its eyes are a medium shade of red. In the second Pokémon movie, Articuno also played a major role because only the chosen one (Ash) could place the orb associated with it on the altar to end the war of the three legendary birds.

Its body is coloured white, while growing lighter on its front, and its chest is a black. Its most distinctive trait is its large wings with the edges having a border of white on the outer edge (which glow a light blue color any time it's used ice move), on its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker lavender rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular light blue eyes and black feathers surround both eyes, making it look like as if it wears a domino mask (which glow a light blue color any time it's used ice move), a short lavender beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of black downy feathers. Each foot has three forward facing lavender toes and one that faces backward. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of lavender as its crest.

Galarian Articuno is a migratory Pokémon that appears in the Crown Tundra every several decades. For a long time, it was thought to be the same Legendary Pokémon as the Articuno previously discovered in other regions. Though cold and callous in personality, it moves in a highly refined manner. Instead of flapping its wings, it keeps itself airborne through constant use of its psychic powers.
Powers and Abilities[]
When Articuno flaps its wings, the air turns chilly.
Galarian Articuno battles using intense psychic powers that act directly on the cells of living beings. The beams of psychic energy fired from its eyes have a particularly potent effect: the slightest touch of these beams leaves the victim totally immobilized as if they are frozen. Articuno then finishes off the immobilized opponents using the condensed psychic power of its wings.
