Provenance

Where it came from

The Articuno-GX card was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Celestial Storm, which debuted in the summer of 2018. This specific card, numbered 171/168, is a Secret Rare variant, distinguishable by its textured 'Rainbow' or 'Hyper Rare' finish, which utilizes a holofoil treatment that shifts through a spectrum of colors across the entire surface of the card.

The artwork for this piece was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a creative studio frequently contracted by The Pokémon Company to produce 3D-rendered character illustrations for the TCG. The design captures the legendary bird Articuno in a dynamic, crystalline pose, emphasizing its status as a powerful Water-type Pokémon. Within the competitive landscape of the 2018 meta, this card was noted by players for its 'Legendary Ascent' ability, which allowed for strategic board mobility.
