Provenance

Where it came from

The Articuno-EX card was released in the 2013 Plasma Storm expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, a set themed around the Team Plasma storyline from the Black 2 and White 2 video games. This era marked a shift in the game's aesthetic, emphasizing the sleek, futuristic technology of the villainous Team Plasma organization, which is reflected in the card's stark, silver-bordered design and high-contrast blue holographic artwork.

The illustration was crafted by artist Eske Yoshinob, who utilized a bold, dynamic style to capture the legendary bird's icy presence. As an ultra-rare card within the set, it was designed for both collectors and competitive players, featuring powerful abilities that mirrored the card's prestige. Upon its release, it was well-received by the TCG community for its visually striking appearance and its functional role in water-type focused decks of the time.
