My Articuno moveset
Sorry, I have to make another thread again. Anyway, I have a Articuno in my team. Here is its moveset:
Articuno @ Nevermeltice EVs: Not sure Bold Nature Fly Mind Reader Blizzard Ice Beam Is this moveset okay? Should I change Blizzard to Sheer Cold? ~Rene~ :t025: |
Why would you have a bold nature if you aren't using any defensive moves? You would want a Modest one, and take out fly for something else...maybe roost, and Sheer Cold is banned from competitive play.
Don't use Blizzard. The PP is too low, as is the accuracy. ~M51 |
Articuno @ Leftovers
Roost Fly Toxic Protect Works in theory. |
Okay, Fly is a pathetic move, so I'll change this moveset for you.
OHKO's not used: Ice Beam Roost Reflect Agility OHKO's used Mind Reader Sheer Cold Ice Beam Roost |

Oh, in that case I'd suggest Subsitute or Aerial Ace.

Trait: Pressure Bold Nature (obviously) Reflect Ice Beam Haze/Heal bell (Pokemon Xd) Rest/Agility. |
Yes. Send it out first, and use Agility. Then you can sweep everything with Ice beam. Reflect to weaken attacks such as Thunderbolt or Rock Blast. Although I do not suggest Haze or heal bell. Maybe use Aerial Ace or Rest insetad.

Glad Itachi brought up heal bell. Really articuno is the entei of the legendary birds, but meh. I'm good at 3rd gen, so here's my fav Moveset:
[email protected] Trait: Pressure Bold Nature EVs: 100 Defense, 100 Special Attack, 100 Special Defense, 210 HP ~Heal Bell/Substitute ~Haze/Roar ~Reflect ~Ice Beam Haze and Heal bell are best, but seeing that you don't have XD, I guess use substitute, or maybe rest. Roar does haze's job, but haze is better IMO. Ice beam to inflict damage, reflect so you may actually survive some physical attacks. NOTE: my EV spread...I forgot it. So, my new EV spread probably is no good, so I don't recommend using it tbh. |

Make sure you ignore my EV spread...anyways, HP electric could make it a boltbeamer. You could also use water pulse or HP water to beat the rock and fire types that devastate the icy bird. This is novelty for sure, but why not HP fighting for bliss? It would sure surprise that puffball, though I don't recommend that at all. If I didn't mention it b4, nevermeltice is made of fail...but yes, those are my suggestions, maybe HP electric is the best replacement...just don't use rock smash.

Well, yes, but I don't think she has XD. But you're right, heal bell is the best option for articuno. Is it a decent boltbeamer? Never tryed it...

Could be: -Ice beam -Hp Electric -Agility -Reflect/Tailwind/Roost/Protect/Ice Shard. (Yes I know, two ice moves, but it's an exception due to not being able to use mixed). If you're planning on using it mixed style. Use Relaxed nature. You want always with Articuno or any mixed pokemon who's best stats is defense, a defense increasing nature of course. Agility to increase the reduced speed. Took me a while, but did it. Hp water/grass could work as well, if you don't want it to be a boltbeamer, but rather counter it's weakenesses. If so, give it Focus Sash. Edit: Never mind, forgot it was Fr/Lg. Focus Band, then. |
Good idea with agility. You can always be cheap and use Mind reader+sheer cold, but it is better with my or Itachi's moveset, seeing that OHKO clause is almost always used.

It can also take out common Mence leads with the correct EVs. That is very important, as MEnce is a common lead in 3rd gen.

Now Mence is dead! Who said Articuno is useless? Actually, it isn't the cream of the crop...oh, sorry. If you ever gat a Wii or GC, do get pokemon XD, and your access to moves will skyrocket.
|
I think Articuno gets Water Pulse, so HP [Water] isn't really needed.
|
HP water is if you prefer extra power. I myself would use water pulse, but it depends on the tase of the user.
