How to Get Articuno in Pokemon Diamond

Articuno, an Ice and Flying type Pokemon, can be caught in the wild at level 50 in "Pokemon FireRed" and "Pokemon LeafGreen." Articuno, is a member of the Legendary Bird Trio of Kanto. Like every other Legendary Pokemon, it can be caught just once per save file. Articuno has a low capture rate, so it is difficult to catch without a Master Ball. Since you cannot catch Articuno in "Pokemon Diamond," you will need to transfer it from "Pokemon FireRed" or "Pokemon LeafGreen."
