You mean competitively or design-wise? If competitively then ok, but if you're shitting on its design then consider suicide

Give it magic guard, and balance rocks to disregard 4x weakness, and Articuno is probably UU.

It isn't the worst design-wise (that's Landorus in Genie form, although tiger form is no prize either) or the worst competitively (That's Regigigas, the ability really does cripple it that badly and it doesn't even get fucking Protect to help)

Anyway, I love Articuno, it's so pretty.

i dont think a pokemon should automatically lose half of its health from switching in especially since the types that rocks fuck over the most aren't even that good anyway with the exception of volcarona and m-charizard. But i still feel that switching in shouldn't result in losing half of a pokemon

Zap Cannon, Inferno and Dynamicpunch are also coin tosses but they're not banned because they're not strong enough.

Sheer Cold IS strong but it's still a coin toss. Mind Reader turns that into a certainity, making it even better.

The point is, if Sheer Cold wasn't banned, Articuno would certainly be in a much higher tier. In fact, most ice types that learn the move would.
