Which Pokémon is it? Articuno is a legendary Pokémon from the first generation of games, belonging to the types Ice and Flying. Due to the machinations of Team GO Rocket, it can now be caught in its Crypto form, which boosts its attack value by 20%, but simultaneously weakens its defense. This makes it particularly interesting for use in raid battles.

When can you get it? Crypto Articuno will defend Crypto Raids of level 5 starting on June 10, 2023. It will be available on weekends until further notice. However, you can only participate on-site – remote raids are not possible.

By the way: You can get Galar Articuno in the daily adventure incense.
