This card captures the mystique of the original games, where Articuno was a one-per-save-file legendary encounter waiting deep inside Seafoam Islands in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
Card History
Fossil’s non-holo Articuno at 17/62 gave collectors a more accessible way to own one of Kanto’s three legendary birds in the Pokémon TCG’s third main expansion.
