While you don’t want to kill it before capture, a Fire and an Electric Pokémon will make powerful additions to your team here. Make sure you also have a strong, basic Pokemon, like a Normal type, to fight as well.
There are two entrances to this cave, but only this entrance will work to get Articuno. [3] X Research source
Do not use the ladder in the cave, as it will reset your boulders. The boulders halt the current in the lower levels of the cave, allowing you to surf on the river and find Articuno.
If you try and surf on this water without getting the boulders placed you will be swept away and out of the cave.
Weak Against: Fire, Electric, Rock (x2, so be careful with Rock attacks), and Steel. Strong Against: Grass, Ground, Bug, and Dragon. [6] X Research source
