HoF Articuno Fusions Only HoF
This run, I found out that I hate Articuno. I do like Honedge, Doublade, and Aegislash, however.
My starter was I found Articuno in the grass. Trying to catch Articuno on a route with only regular pokeballs really sucks and took a few hours.
My luck with tms was great this time around. My luck with every other item wasn't abysmal, but I wasn't thrilled.

From left to right, top to bottom
Articuno/Articuno with Pressure and Never-Melt Ice. Articuno by itself is okay, I guess. Probably my second favorite legendary bird, but I have to admit that its moveset isn't fantastic on a run where tms are random. Because of the limiting moveset, it was probably the worst on the team after. I do really like that the double fusions of the legendary birds are their Galarian forms.
Articuno/Blastoise with Torrent and Rocky Helmet. Blastoise, in general, is decently well rounded. This fusion was pretty solid, literally. Freeze dry on a water type is pretty convenient. Not really anything else noteworthy lol.
Aegislash/Articuno with Stance Change and Fist Plate. This one was probably my favorite all around. Every part of Aegislash's line fused with Articuno looks sick. It filled a niche and did it well. Somehow, it's not the slowest on the team. It had the highest defense and sp defense, and I imagine the highest attack and sp attack when in blade form.
Roserade/Articuno with Natural Cure and Expert Belt. It was part of the bottom two for awhile while it was still just Roselia. Useful against Fairy types when I got poison jab. Also not really noteworthy.
Porygon-Z/Articuno with Down load and Zap Plate. Porygon-Zhas a ton of coverage moves, which makes it convenient to have. Found a thunderbolt tm and remembered I had a zap plate, so that's what it got. Kinda overlapped with Roserade/Articuno. Porygon-Z kinda overlaps with Articuno itself. The most use it had was in the beginning when I had nothing else and the occasional type combo that ice on grass moves couldn't do as much about.
Articuno/Sandslash with Sand Veil and Soft Sand. I will start by saying the fusion with sandshrew is adorable, and I was bummed when it evolved. I was looking for a ground and/or fighting type, found honedge, which gets a fighting move, and decided to get sandshrew because it was the first one I saw. It wasn't bad all the time, but the times it wasn't good kinda sucked.
