Need to know the location of Articuno in the Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? This legendary bird was among the trio of the first legendaries in Pokémon history, and you can still find them today.
With over 200 pokémon to catch in the Indigo Disk Pokédex, it can be tough if you’re looking to catch them all. While many come from following the storyline and completing Blueberry Quests, legendaries are not that easy. Where can you find Articuno in Indigo Mask? We’re here to tell you everything you need to know.
Where to find Articuno
To find and catch Articuno in the Indigo Disk DLC, you have to first get a special treat from Snacksworth. Once you’ve completed the DLC and done Blueberry Quests for him, he’ll give you special treats to attract legendaries. One of these is the Articuno treat.
Use the Articuno Treat once it’s in your inventory, and you’ll be able to find this legendary Pokémon in Paldea.
Articuno can be found in Northern Paldea on the Southeastern side of Glaseado Mountain North. It’s just west of Montenevera. Once you spot Articuno, simply run up to the Pokémon and begin a battle with them.
Save first
Before you begin the battle with Articuno, we recommend saving the game first. This way, if you don’t catch the legendary bird on your first try, you easy reload and try again.
This is the only way you’re able to catch Articuno in Indigo Disk. You need to get the right treat from Snacksworth and use it for them to appear in Paldea. If you don’t get the treat from Snacksworth on your first try after completing 10 Blueberry Quest, you can reload the game from the last save and try again. Alternatively, you can also complete more Blueberry Quests and get more treats.
