February 20 is a big day in the world of Pokemon GO. It marks the beginning of the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto, which is starting to roll out around the world. This means a change in raid bosses and the return of the Legendary Bird Trio. While these three Pokemon have been featured in raids multiple times before, new Mega Evolutions and moves are being released regularly, and therefore the meta often changes. With that in mind, let's see if Articuno has any Weakness in Pokemon GO and look at the best counters to take it down.

Articuno Weakness Pokemon GO

Articuno is a Flying and Ice-type Pokemon, leaving it with four weaknesses to exploit. The Pokemon's dual Flying/Ice-typing means that both Rock, Electric, Fire and Steel-type moves are super effective against it. This means there is a good range of counters to take down Articuno in Pokemon GO, but what are they?

Best Counters For Articuno

There are a few top counters to Articuno in the game, let's take a look at them.

Mega Ampharos and Mega Charizard Y are the only Mega Pokemon that are worth currently considering for Articuno Raids, but even then, there are better counters.

The main type of Pokemon you will want to consider for Articuno raids is Rock-types as there is plenty of choice and they're relatively common. Rhyperior is probably the best performer in this area, closely followed by Ramparados. Gigalith, Tyranitar and Terrakion are also great counters.

Alongside the Rock-types, there is a handful of other decent counters. Darmanitan is probably the other option here.

Mega Ampharos - Volt Switch/Power Gem

Rhyperior - Smack Down/Rock Wrecker or Stone Edge

Ramparados - Smack Down/Rock Slide

Tyranitar - Smack Down/Stone Edge

Terrakion - Smack Down/Rock Slide

Darmanitan - Fire Fang/Rock Slide
