* Use the right Poke Balls: Ultra Balls and Master Balls have the highest catch rates. You can also try using a Dusk Ball (for nighttime) or a Timer Ball (for long battles).
* Be patient: Don't give up if you fail to catch it on the first try. It may take multiple attempts.
Good luck catching Articuno!
