Collector’s notes
- Rocket's Articuno ex 96/109 (Team Rocket Returns)
Rocket's Articuno ex shows the icy bird mid-swoop, wings flung wide and talons forward, its pale blue feathers set against a dark crimson backdrop scattered with sparkles, with art by Ryo Ueda. The whole card sits on a starry holo border with the Team Rocket emblem stamped below. Collectors chase it as a Dark-type twist on a fan-favorite Legendary from the well-loved Team Rocket Returns ex era.
- Articuno H3 (Skyridge)
Articuno sweeps across a starry holo field in deep purples and icy blues, its wings spread wide and its head turned toward you, with a pale crystalline shape glinting on the right. Art by Hajime Kusajima gives it a moody, almost painted feel. Skyridge holos from the e-Card era are famously scarce, and the Legendary bird's lasting following makes this one a steady target for completists.
- Articuno-EX 132/135 (Plasma Storm)
Articuno-EX fills the frame in this full art, wings flung wide and red eyes narrowed as it leans toward you against a pale, crackling backdrop of icy lightning, with the Team Plasma shield half hidden behind it. Art by Toyste Beach, the deep blue palette gives the card a cold, aggressive feel. Collectors chase it as a Team Plasma era Ultra Rare featuring a well-loved Legendary bird from Plasma Storm.
