Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2009 Supreme Victors expansion, this card captures the legendary ice bird Articuno during a period when the Pokémon Trading Card Game was heavily influenced by the Platinum series. The set focused on the powerful Pokémon owned by the Sinnoh region's Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains, bridging the gap between the competitive gameplay of the Nintendo DS titles and the collectible hobby.

The artwork for this card continues the tradition of featuring the legendary birds in dynamic, icy settings, emphasizing the creature's ethereal and crystalline design. As a rare holographic card, it was crafted to stand out in a collection, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-late 2000s, a time when card illustrations became increasingly elaborate and focused on showcasing the legendary status of the Pokémon through dramatic poses and elemental effects.
