Moltres's chance of inflicting a burn in gen 1 is a double-edged sword. While it's good against the likes of Tauros, it's actually incredibly bad against the likes of Chansey, Alakazam and especially Starmie, who can all recover the burn damage, do not care about the attack reduction, and become permanently immune against worse statuses like freeze and sleep. Oh, and attacks that can inflict burn will also thaw out a frozen opponent. Imagine essentially resurrecting a frozen (basically dead) Snorlax or Rhydon.

Buff both forms by replacing Freeze with Frostbite from Legends Arceus. Also implement the mechanic that boosts frostbite chance when in snow, and buff the frostbite chance on Freezing Glare to 30%, making it a slightly stronger frostbite variant of Scald (which seems fair for a legendary's signature move). That way both forms gain a lot of defensive utility as well as offensive.

Funny thing is that it's stat distribution is what helped it get usage in VGC 2023, which between that and Jamie's recent placement I imagine prompted this remake. With Snow Cloak, it's natural Sp. Def, and it's Def boost in snow Articuno can take most any attack when it hits and spams blizzard which isn't super powerful but is spread and threatens freezes.

I caught that stream of Kantonian Articuno being used in gen 9 VGC and this video didn't give enough credit to what a truly evil pokemon that thing was. It wasn't just the evasion boost that made it infuriating. Between the support from Aurora Veil, the new defence boost ice types get from snow, and Articuno's already incredible special defence, combined with roost, meant it survived forever. The true cherry on top was that it used all those extra turns to spam Blizzard, which with its spread move and perfect accuracy in snow, meant it had an alarming tendency to freeze at least one opponent per game. The player who used it said in the interview after his win that this was probably his last VGC event ever and just wanted to use his old favourite pokemon. Truly living up to that infamous Karen quote.

It's a bit funny that FSG these days does genuinely try to uplift Pokemon that have solid places in lower tiers, even putting GREAT in their video titles (though that might just be the "remake video" indicator) and not just dunking on them for not being OU viable. But a little bit of that creeped into this Articuno video with the part about Galarian Articuno being used in Gen 9 OU, until people realized it was "actually still bad" lol. They do followup by saying it was good in NU, but yeah it was a slight pulling the curtains back moment haha. Regular Articuno is still pretty bad even with the buff to Ice types, and Galarian is better but not by too much.

Funnily enough, the Articuno stall in Gen 7 UU had its roots in Gen 6 UU. There was a few months where there was a commonly used dual-bird pressure stall of Articuno (roost defog haze freeze dry) and Moltres (roost defog will-o-wisp hurricane) due to how they matched up against all the tier's rock setters--either Moltres or Articuno could 1v1 every rock setter, so you could keep the field clear. It was common to also run a spinner, in addition to both birds having defog. Very interesting style of play, abusing pressure as much as possible. Some variants also brought Suicune, to have triple pressure.

It's such a shame gamefreak decided to give it 125 base special defense. 90/100/95 would still be quite reasonable bulk and Ice STAB off 125 sp atk is good in any generation.

The only real way to buff it would be the same for many other ice types. REVISED TYPE EFFECTIVENESS. It should resist all types that's it's super effective against and be resistant to water

I was not expecting a positive video on Articuno. Both forms are at their best in Gen IX. They can abandon their awful defensive typing and embrace new offensive and defensive options depending on what they need. I hope Articuno (kanto) gains calm mind, and 100% hurricanes under snowscape. Articuno (galar) should gain quiver dance, focus blast, and heat wave to give it more offensive versatility. I always liked both forms and see potential for them to be better in the future.
