Articuno

ICEFLYINGLEGENDARY

Articuno shows up in the level 150 hunt and averages 51 of loot and 6,008 XP per kill.

Is Articuno worth hunting?

Among the 53 Pokémon in the level 150 hunt, Articuno ranks 49th for loot per kill, 79% below the level's median.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits well below the level average: this is an XP hunt. It pays little for the experience it gives, so don't count on it to cover your potions.

77% of all loot comes from a single item: Ice Orb. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

For XP it ranks 48 of 53 at this level — 6,008 per kill.

At the same level, Brave Steelix pays more: 275 per kill.
