Team pitfalls when building around Articuno

• Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to fire, electric, and rock.
• Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
• Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
• Check whether legendary or mythical Pokemon are allowed in your game rules or competitive format.
