Articuno can be caught in almost every generation and even has a Galarian form. Ice-types have gotten much better in Generation IX, making this a coveted Legendary in the DLC.
As more types have continued to be added to the franchise, the Ice-type has progressively weakened defensively. Currently, there are four weaknesses and only one resistance.

Articuno has always been a strong Legendary, but it is now even better. Additionally, trainers can Terastallize in to increase their chances of winning a battle. The first step to finding Articuno is talking to Snacksworth at the Blueberry Academy.
Articuno and many other Legendary Pokémon will only appear after completing the 's story. This is because you will need to talk to a new NPC named Snacksworth, who will not normally be present. He is near the entrance of Blueberry Academy and offers a random snack for each Legendary Pokémon and a hint of where to find them.

The issue of obtaining the incorrect treat can be circumvented by simply relaunching the game before the conversation ends.
