Articuno

Articuno is one of the original "Three Legendary Bird Pokémon" from Generation I. It is described as a graceful, ice-themed Pokémon with crystalline wings that freeze moisture in the air as it flies. According to legend, it aids lost travelers in snowy mountains, earning it the title Guardian of the Snowy Mountains.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Articuno cannot be encountered directly in the wild. Instead, players must link their game with a compatible GBA version (e.g., Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen) or use WiFi connectivity to transfer the Pokémon into BDSP. This aligns with its status as a rare, mythical Pokémon.

Articuno has appeared in several Pokémon anime episodes and the movie Pokémon: The Power of One. Its elegant design and mythical status make it a fan-favorite, often symbolizing ice and purity in the Pokémon universe.
