Articuno

Thanks to one of the highest Special stats in the game along with the most powerful special move, Articuno is a decent offensive threat. Articuno's bulk helps it against physical attackers like Tauros and Snorlax as well as some special attackers like Chansey, letting it spam its Ice-type moves to land a freeze and end the game. Thanks to its Ice typing Articuno is immune to freeze, and this combined with its solid bulk and great power allows it to match up well into many bulky foes. However, Articuno's movepool is very limited with only Ice- and Normal-type moves to choose from, leaving it unable to deal with foes that resist its STAB Ice-type moves.
