Artikodin 17/62 — Fossile

History

Articuno, the majestic Legendary Ice/Flying-type Pokémon, is one of the three mythical birds of the Kanto region, alongside Zapdos and Moltres. Its presence in the Fossil expansion, numbered 17/62, marks a key moment in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, solidifying the introduction of the first generation's most iconic creatures. Known for its ability to freeze atmospheric moisture to create snow, Articuno embodies the power and grace of winter elements.

The Fossil expansion, released after Base Set and Jungle, enriched the Pokémon TCG by introducing Pokémon discovered from fossils, as well as elusive legendary creatures like Articuno. This series allowed players and collectors to delve deeper into the Pokémon universe, exploring creatures that were previously harder to encounter in the video games. Card 17/62, although non-holographic, remains an iconic piece due to its rarity and status as a Legendary Pokémon.
