Getting rare Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO is one of the most rewarding feelings, so recently, when I caught the Galarian Articuno after many failed attempts, I was overjoyed.

If you also want to add this coveted Pokémon to your collection, keep reading. I will give you all the tips and info you need to catch the Galarian Articuno.
How Rare Is A Galarian Articuno In Pokémon Go?
The Galarian Articuno is a rare Pokémon in Pokémon GO because it has a very low catch rate of 0.3% and a flee rate of 90%.
Galarian Articuno is a Psychic/Flying type Pokémon that is known to be more violet and darker than the original Articuno.
It is one of the three Galarian Legendary Bird Pokémon, and due to its rarity, there is a common belief among Pokémon GO players that it is not designed to be caught 🤣 🤭.
Instead, it is a ‘hype Pokémon’ that will later be properly released.
How Do You Get Galarian Articuno To Spawn In Pokemon Go?
Although the odds of catching the Galarian Articuno are negligible, it is not impossible. Here is a full breakdown of all the steppes you can take to get this creature to spawn in Pokémon GO:
|
Get Daily Adventure Incense by completing the Mysterious Incense Part 1 Quest. Daily Adventure Incense is essential to catching a Galarian Articuno. | |
|
When the new Incense icon appears in your inventory, click it. | |
|
Begin walking as the Incense is activated. | |
|
Within 15 minutes, you will see different Pokémon around you, and hopefully, one will be a Galarian Articuno. |
How To Lure Galarian Articuno In Pokemon Go
To lure a Galarian Articuno in Pokémon GO, you must use Daily Adventure Incense around Pokestops with Lure Modules attached.
This significantly increases your chances of encountering this Pokémon. Daily Adventure Incense is a version of Pokémon Incense that can only be used once a day and lasts for about 15 minutes as you move around in the real world.
You can also use course modifiers like Razz Berries 🍒, Curveball, and a catch bonus from medals to further increase your odds.
Can The Galarian Articuno Spawn With Regular Incense?
According to many Pokémon GO players, using regular Incense will not be effective in spawning the Galarian Articuno Pokémon.
Although standard Incense can attract nearby Pokémon, it cannot attract Galarian birds, including the Galarian Articuno Pokémon.
Daily Adventure Incense can lure more special Pokémon, while regular Incense only works in the normal spawn pool.
Can Galarian Articuno Be Found In The Wild In Pokémon Go?
Yes, Galarian Articuno can be found in the wild, although rarely. Trainers believe the best way of getting one in the wild is to look out for the weather. Pokémon GO’s weather boost can be used to hunt for a Galarian Articuno.
With it being a part Flying-type Pokémon, it is best to look for it in windy weather conditions, where Galarian Articuno is likely to spawn.
What Are The Odds Of Catching A Galarian Articuno In Pokemon Go?
Trainers believe the chances of catching a Galarian Articuno in Pokémon GO is approximately 0.3% 😔. This makes it a fairly unique Pokémon to come by and even harder to get.
Unfortunately, Galarian Articuno has a high flee rate of 90%.
To put the rarity of this Pokémon in context, the average catch rate for Legendary raids is 2% because, unlike the Galarian Articuno Pokémon, which can fly away spontaneously, the others cannot flee until all the Premier Balls are used up.
