PokéBonk — How do I unlock Articuno?

The short answer

Articuno's League challenge requires all of the following:

  1. Have 45 members in your League.
  2. Clear Viridian Forest twice on Hard difficulty.
  3. Freeze 2,500 companions in a single run.

What to check

The 2,500-companions objective counts freezing, not defeating companions, and must be completed within one run. After completing the League challenge, follow the game's appearance and capture prompts.
