Articuno /ˌɑːrtᵻˈkuːnoʊ/, known as Freezer (フリーザー Furīzā?) in Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise. Articuno is one of the three winged mirage Legendary Pokémon, along with Zapdos and Moltres. It is a large bird, noted for its ability to control cold. Articuno is a flying and ice type Pokémon. Articuno was one of many designs conceived by Game Freak and finalized by Ken Sugimori in Pokémon Red and Blue. Their names were changed in the English localization to give them more "clever and descriptive names". Articuno, for example, comes from a combination of the words "Arctic", and "uno", the Spanish word for one. Articuno first appeared in Red and Blue, and has since appeared in all main titles in the series since, notably in the Red and Blue remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Platinum, and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It makes multiple appearances in Pokémon spin-offs, manga, and anime, notably in the film Pokémon The Movie 2000.
