Description
Numbered H3 within the 2003 Skyridge expansion, this Pokémon trading card features the legendary bird Articuno as a Holo Rare. Designed by Hajime Kusajima, the card presents a Basic stage creature with 80 HP, categorized under the Water type for gameplay mechanics. Articuno possesses the unique Water Immunity ability, which prevents the attachment of Water Energy cards from the hand to this Pokémon. This strategic limitation is balanced by its powerful Ice Cyclone attack. To activate this move, players must first utilize the Colorless Freeze Solid ability, which allows for the retrieval of Water Energy from the discard pile by flipping a coin. Once activated, Ice Cyclone deals 50 damage and includes a secondary effect that impacts both the opponent's bench and your own Pokémon depending on the coin flip result. The Holo Rare treatment adds a shimmering finish that stands out in any binder or display case. Whether you are completing the Skyridge checklist or seeking out specific Pokémon for your collection, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG enthusiast's library. The combination of its strategic gameplay mechanics and the visual appeal of the holo finish makes it a favorite among those who appreciate the depth of the 2003 era releases.
