Arctibax in Pokemon Survivor

Arctibax at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Arctibax has 110 HP, 104 speed and a 1.22x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is about average and its attack is above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 55.9, which puts it at rank 399 overall, rank 50 of 92 among Paldea Pokemon and rank 43 of 67 Dragon-types and 24 of 46 Ice-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Arctibax sits next to Politoed one place above it and Sandslash one place below it.

Arctibax moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Arctibax starts every run with Dragon Rage: draconic flames in a straight line.

The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Dragon moves: Dragon Rage, Dragon Dance
• Ice moves: Ice Beam, Powder Snow, Hail

Weaknesses and resistances

Arctibax takes extra damage from Fighting (1.6x), Rock (1.6x), Dragon (1.6x), Steel (1.6x), and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), and Grass (0.6x). The remaining 10 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Arctibax are the ones whose first type is Fighting, Rock, Dragon, Steel, or Fairy. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Dragon or Ice moves do not hit harder just because Arctibax shares the type.

How to get Arctibax

Arctibax is part of the Paldea banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (17% for Rare) and then picks one of the 19 Rare Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Arctibax a 0.9% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 112 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 60 coins, or 180 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

A rarity-3 Pokemon like Arctibax can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Arctibax exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Arctibax as an enemy

Arctibax can show up as a regular enemy from 2:40 into the run (enemy tier 3). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
