Articuno Weakness in Pokemon Go
Articuno is a legendary ice-type bird Pokemon in Pokemon Go that you can capture from raids. But to capture it is essential to know what are this legendary bird’s weaknesses. Since Articuno is a five-star raid, you must bring some friends. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to capture this Pokemon.
