Shadow Articuno ICES Ultra League w/ a Classic Team | Route to Legend Pokémon Go Battle League PVP

Описание: Articuno is here in Shadow Raids throughout June. While alot of people are sleeping on this Poke, more old school Go Battle League players will remember when Articuno was one of the top picks for the Open Ultra League, back before XL Pokemon and level 50 were released in the game.

I personally loved using it, but rather than using a regular bird I would use my first Shadow Articuno instead, this does shift some of the matchups and while it doesn't improve the dreaded steel type matchups it does help it bring alot more pressure to certain matchups including Swampert and Drapion, as well as the fighters Obstagoon and Scrafty.

It felt like a perfect time to check out Articuno in the Ultra League once again and see just how well it performs these days since the rise of XL Pokemon, changes to movesets and the overall direction GBL has gone in recent years.

We pair it up in a classic lineup that may have been seen even back in 2020 Ultra League consisting of Articuno lead, Swampert in the back to be our hard anti-steel type, and finally Registeel which makes a very powerful safe swap especially with Trevenant dropping off in popularity.

Interestingly this team does NOT require XLs! If you have a level 40 Perfect Registeel this team works just fine too, or replace Registeel with Melmetal or Cobalion for slightly easier level access too.

Overall we go decently positive with the line even taking a 5-0 set, and while this may not be the most balanced team in the current UL it takes a surprising amount of wins including a triple hard counter team!

This may not be Galarian Articuno, but Shadow Articuno is here to show that the Kanto birds still got some play in the tank for this willing to give it a shot
