Articuno is an Ice/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #144) with a high stat total of 580. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Def at 125, which makes it a defensive wall. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Articuno takes super-effective damage from Rock at 4×, and Fire, Electric, Steel at 2×. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Grass, Bug. Its ability options are Pressure, Snow Cloak, and you choose which one your copy carries.
In-game, Articuno has 66 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (1), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (1), Let's Go (54) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Articuno ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
