Provenance

Where it came from

The Articuno card from the Roaring Skies expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in May 2015. As a core entry in the XY series, Roaring Skies focused heavily on Dragon-type Pokémon and the introduction of Mega Evolution mechanics, drawing its thematic inspiration from the high-flying battles of the Hoenn region. This specific card represents the legendary bird Articuno, maintaining its status as a Rare-tier card within the set's composition.

The illustration for this card was provided by artist Mizue, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon Trading Card Game since the early 2000s. Mizue's design utilizes a clean, dynamic style that emphasizes Articuno’s elegant, icy form against a stylized sky background. Within the community, the card is recognized for its consistency with the established visual language of the XY era, serving as a functional Water-type addition for players while appealing to collectors of legendary bird illustrations.
