Is Articuno In Pokémon GO? How The Legendary Bird Was Caught Accidentally (And Then Revoked)

While you were caught up in the political scandal of Donald Trump insulting a baby at a campaign rally, an arguably bigger controversy was unfolding in the Pokémon GO world: Someone claimed to have caught Articuno.

Articuno, an ice-type flying Pokémon, is one of the original three legendary birds of Kanto. It's super rare, and it hasn't been found in the new Pokémon game thus far, along with monsters like Mewtwo, Ditto and Moltres... until now.
