Um...
Well let's see.
Electricity and fire would be so hot they would melt ice.
If ice melts it turns into water.
Water puts out the fire. Water, though, is a conductor so it would make the electricity stronger.
However, electricity can causes fire making the fire stronger.
We're really not basing this on logic of elements and stuff. Pokemon pretty much has its own rules. Fire does melt ice, and electricity *would* but it's normal effectiveness in Pokemon.
If ice is melted, it would turn into water, yes, but the water wouldn't be utilized at all. You're just gonna see puddles of water on the ground that really won't do a thing.
And electricity does NOT make a fire stronger. If you electrocute your Arcanine, I'm pretty sure it won't get any stronger than it was.
Then there's the fact of the sky which all three make use of.
Electricity and Ice can be found in the sky making them stronger.
But the sun is also in the sky giving fire power.
If Ice is turn to water then it gains power from the moon.
And how exactly would Electricity and Ice be strengthened? You can't find electricity in the sky. Lightning is not there to begin with, it is created. The only way for lightning to have the smallest effect on the battle is if it strikes the birds while they're flying. Zapdos is damaged because it doesn't have Volt Absorb, so lightning would actually do some damage. The fact that you can find miniscule ice particles really makes no difference to Articuno's strength either. So what if there's ice? Articuno can produce ice anyways. Just because you can find the same element of its type doesn't strengthen them in any way at all.
The sun will really only have an effect on Moltres when the rays are actually strengthened, which is only able to be performed through the use of the move Sunny Day.
And I ... really haven't the slightest idea how you relate water to the moon. @_@ Water won't be used in this battle anyways.
If it is daylight the fire has enough power to not only melt ice but evaporate it.
This is not good for fire for ice is now in the sky where it can gain power from.
Not only that but because of the sea breeze the ice can interlope on the land where fire resides.
If it is night time the water may have power.
But the land breeze allows the heat to interlope it's territory making the water weaker.
Moltres cannot and will not melt and evaporate Articuno. @_@
Ice =/= water vapor. Remember. And even if there was ice, Articuno will not gain power because it's unaffected by ice surrounding it, really.
Sea breeze. Wow, a 1 mph wind is gonna make a huge difference.
Don't know how you relate water to nighttime, and none of the birds are even part water. >_>
Minor details like water vapor and heat and what time of day will not play a role in the battles. You should get into competitive battling to understand better? ._.
Then there is the wind.
They all gain it's power due to their power in the sky.
Fire also get's it's power from the wind as wind makes a fire grow stronger.
Ice created the wind so it gains it's power as well.
Wind can be turned into electricty so it gains it's power.
In fact, both fire and ice can create electricity.
But this also makes electrcity dependent on them.
So, I'm going to go with Zapdos, just because I think Moltres and Articuno would fight with each other so much they'd tire them selves out before they fight Zapdos.[/QUOTE]
