    These are the three bird legendaries of Gen 1, and they have appeared in other generations since. What are your thoughts on them? And which is your favorite?

    This is an easy one. Articuno. She has a special place in my heart, as she was my first shiny Legendary. Unfortunately, she was lost when my brother saved over my file. I only German Suplexed him six times....

    Articuno. Design wise, I think it looks the best. I really love the coloring and the feathers. It really does look quite pretty and frankly looks more like a bird compared to the other two.

    Articuno [3D='144'] is my favorite. I love the way it flies in the anime; plus, it has great defense and special defense. x3 However for battle wise, Zapdos [3D='145'] is the winner. It was both Articuno and Moltres's weakness, electric.

    Articuno for me! He is a gorgeously elegant looking Pokémon! An ice bird! I love his battle cry and I've used him in the past some I liked him best out of the three legendary birds.

    Zapdos > Articuno > Moltres

    Zapdos is my favorite because of its beastly, intimidating design and raw power! I love all the legendary birds though, just to be clear. They'll always be my favorite legend trio.

    Zapdos was pretty cool when I saw the legendary birds, as well in the comptetitive scene. Articuno; I never experienced to catch. (rip)

    Zapdos! Krrrzap. For obvious reasons. 8] I love electric types and Zapdos has an amazing design, plus it's the most useful thing ever in R/B/Y/FR/LG. Have any of you captured and used it through the E4 challenges?! Made things so much easier. ♥

    @[member="Sheep"] I used my Articuno actually, in FR/LG in the elite four I think! Haha, maybe moltres too.

    Articuno is my favorite too! And it was rather, very hard to catch each and every time I ran into it... I love the legendary birds, yet I'm surprised at their lack of use competitively. Which do you think is the strongest of the 3?

    Articuno is my favorite Legendary Burd. I love its typing and its design and it's pretty powerful too! I don't like Moltres very much since Charizard is better, but Zapdos is pretty cool- and it doesn't have a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. :)

    Articuno is my favorite out of the three, especially since Ice types were some of my favorites in the earlier generations and they were also quite rare. Out of the three, I'd say zapdos is probably the best, since its electric dual typing enables it to have a stab super effective move against both articuno and moltres, plus its defenses are pretty good and its typing is great defensively. I liked Articuno even more after watching some of the anime and learning that it could learn water pulse. In Pokémon Leafgreen, Articuno was one of the few legendaries I actually used against the elite four, and it helped a lot against Lance's team.

    Zapdos has always had a special place with me; I really love its design, and I used to use it a lot back when I first played Red/Blue Rescue Team. Even though I never use it to fight with in the main games, I always make sure to capture it, anyhow, just for the sake of having it.

    Well I'm gonna say Moltres, I've always prefered fire types over electric/ice~ Besides I like it's design better.
    But if I had to rank then it'd be Moltres > Articuno > Zapdos.

    My favourite used to be Articuno, but after using Zapdos many time as part of my Showdown team, I've grown to like it more because of its power and speed. Sure, Articuno's design may be beautiful, but Zapdos' battle prowess elevates his status above all else.

    I like Articuno the best, definitely. It was the first Pokémon I ever got to Lv.100 in any Pokémon game, so it holds a special place in my heart. Zapdos is cool too, but I'm not a huge fan of Moltres.

    My favorite is Articuno. It just looks so elegant and graceful, and it has a nice sounding cry. Competitively I like Zapdos a lot!

    Articuno. It is number 'uno' after all. Heh. Other than that, I prefer using it more in battles than the other birds. Mind Reader+ Sheer Cold ftw~
