Articuno [1999-2000] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Articuno #17 comes from Fossil, the third English Pokémon TCG expansion, a landmark WotC-era set that helped bring the original Kanto collection deeper into the hobby’s early boom.
In-Game
For many collectors, this card hits hard because Articuno was the icy prize waiting in the Seafoam Islands in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, making it one of Kanto’s most memorable legendary encounters.
Card History
Unlike the holo Fossil Articuno, card #17 is the non-holo rare version, giving vintage collectors a distinct binder and print-run target even when they are chasing the same legendary bird artwork and era.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG, whose work dates back to the game’s prototype era before Pokémon Red and Green had even released.
Card History
Articuno’s mystique grew beyond the games because the legendary bird was tied to the balance of the Orange Islands in Pokémon the Movie 2000, reinforcing its status as more than just another Kanto capture.
