Frosty Forest (Revisit) - Battle Tips
Recommended Level: 55+
When you revisit Frosty Forest, the Pokemon will have higher levels and Articuno will be at level 50. Having a party at level 55 or above will make it easier for you to go through the dungeon.
Recommended Pokemon: Fire, Steel, Rock
Most of the Pokemon in Frosty Forest will be Ice or Metal-types, save for the occasional others. Make sure to have a Fire, Steel, or Rock Pokemon in your party to bring these Pokemon down fast.
Save Fainted Pokemon To Add To Party
You may encounter fainted Pokemon in different floors. Add to your party so you have more damage dealers in the dungeon and during the Articuno fight by giving these fainted Pokemon an Apple!
Beware Of Strong Foe Pokemon
The "strong foe" Pokemon you'll encounter in Frosty Forest is Spinda. Having a Pokemon that can do Fighting-type attacks will deal bigger damage to this Pokemon so have one in your party.

Tips To Defeat Articuno
Lessens Physical Damage With Reflect
Articuno has an annoying move called "Reflect" that raises its defense against physical attacks. Make use of Sp. Atk moves when this move has been used.
Use Electric Moves To Paralyze
Articuno has a weakness to Electric-type moves so make sure to use them. You can also cause Paralysis, stunting its attacks, so bring an Electric Pokemon to this fight.
Blizzard & Freeze-Dry Have Wide Damage
When Articuno uses its Blizzard or Freeze-Dry move, they'll hit most of the Pokemon in your party. These moves can also Freeze your Pokemon, making them vulnerable to attacks.
Pressure Causes PP To Drain Faster
Articuno will have an innate Ability called "Pressure" that will cause moves to use up more PP. Equip Efficient Bandannas or use Max Ethers to negate this effect.
How To Recruit Articuno
Can Recruit After Battle
After defeating Articuno in the Frosty Forest, you have a small chance of being able to recruit this legendary Pokemon. Have Squad Up or Friendly as a Rare Quality or have a Friend Bow to up your chances of recruitment.
