Galarian Articuno's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Galarian Articuno PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Galarian Articuno has very good stats both offensively and defensively, making it a great addition to the Raiding scene, especially as a Flying-type attacker. Galarian Articuno comes with a solid selection of Flying-type attacks, among which we would highlight Fly as the go-to charged attack. With Psycho Cut and Fly, Galarian Articuno is easily the best Galarian Bird in PvE 🏆.

While it is certainly outclassed by other Psychic types, this mysterious Bird is still a worthy investment in the meta as a Flying-type attacker with an interesting typing. Galarian Articuno is also a solid Psychic-type attacker, particularly against Fighting-type bosses that it resists thanks to its Psychic/Flying typing 😎.

Its attacks are similar to other Galarian Birds:

  • Psycho Cut and Confusion are both solid picks, but Psycho Cut edges out Confusion very often
  • Fly is definitely a superior attack to Brave Bird
  • Ancient Power is a lore-based attack shared between all Galarian Birds, and it is best to avoid it altogether. Maybe there is a Master League or Ultra League matchup where it would be worth using, but not in Raids.

🛡️ Gyms

Since it is a Legendary Pokémon, it cannot be put in Pokémon GO Gyms.

Galarian Articuno PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Galarian Articuno doesn't have a 'wow' moveset that would make it incredible in PvP, but it can still put in some work. You can opt for either Confusion for high damage output or Psycho Cut for high energy gains, though the latter is recommended as it helps it reach Brave Bird quickly 🪽.

🔵 Great League

It has no niche other than being extremely effective against Fighting-type Pokémon.

🟡 Ultra League

The situation is better in the Ultra League, where Galarian Articuno can act as a surprising switch against Fighting and Grass types. But once again, its moveset makes it heavily reliant on ideal situations and/or lack of shields, as otherwise, it goes down hard and fast 😭.

🟣 Master League

Among all PvP Leagues, Galarian Articuno does best in the Master League. Even so, Psychic/Flying isn't too useful in this format due to several exploitable weaknesses and stronger powerhouses to choose for your team 🫠.
