Articuno questions

Is Articuno a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Articuno joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Articuno in PokéSurvivor?

Articuno is Ice / Flying. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Articuno be shiny?

Yes. A wild Articuno is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Articuno a rift legendary?

Yes. Articuno only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
