Articuno [Optimized]
Abilities: Pressure | [HA] Chilling Body (30% freeze on contact.)
Stats: 90 HP / 85 Atk / 115 Def / 115 SpA / 125 SpD / 88 Spe
Added Moves: Air Slash, Scald
Summary of Changes: +15 Def, +20 SpA, +3 Spe
Articuno's Japanese name is Freezer, yet, it has no more of a shot of freezing than any other Ice Pokemon. A new Ability will whip Articuno into shape. It can now disable Pokémon for a brief time, making it a big potential help on several possible teams. Freezing is an unreliable status effect, so it's really something Articuno can make its own. Scald will help it with Rock-types, and give it an additional burning ability.
Moltres [Optimized]
Abilities: Pressure | [HA] Flame Body
Stats: 90 HP / 100 Atk / 95 Def / 125 SpA / 85 SpD / 123 Spe
Added Moves: Brave Bird, Flare Blitz, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Energy Ball, Air Slash
Summary of Changes: +5 Def, +33 Spe
Moltres essentially becomes a special Talonflame. It can use a couple of new special dragon moves by dipping into its phoenix heritage a little. Energy Ball covers its Water and Rock weaknesses. It can run Specs fairly well thanks to increased Speed.
