BST 580. These bars are the in-game combat stats, scaled against the highest value in the current roster.

Articuno does not join the starter board and does not roll as a timed boss. A distortion rift can open from 1:15, and this Pokémon waits in an arena based on one of its types (Ice / Flying). The fight lasts two minutes. A win pays coins, three normal tickets, and two ×10 tickets. A loss or a timeout sends you back at 30% HP with nothing. Go in after the 3:00 boss, with HP to spare. A portal at 1:15 is a common wipe.

Articuno moves in PokéSurvivor

The run starts with Ice Beam (Rayo Hielo in the game). A hard ice beam. The default starter move for Ice-types.Later cards can offer any move of Ice / Flying plus every Normal move.

Articuno questions

Is Articuno a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Articuno joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Articuno in PokéSurvivor?

Articuno is Ice / Flying. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Articuno be shiny?

Yes. A wild Articuno is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Articuno a rift legendary?

Yes. Articuno only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
