Every Articuno card

The short version

Articuno has seven printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Mega Rising. It is a Basic Water-type Pokémon printed at between 100 and 140 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to six rarities — one Rare, two Double Rares, one Super Rare, one Special Art Rare, one Shiny and one Shiny Super Rare. The hardest to pull is the Shiny Super Rare from Eevee Grove, at about 1 in 240 packs, or 1,350 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 551 packs, which is about 9 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Mega Altaria, Deluxe, Eevee and Mewtwo packs. The most recent is Articuno #298, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Ice Beam for 60. The card’s own words: “It’s said that this Pokémon’s beautiful blue wings are made of ice. Articuno flies over snowy mountains, its long tail fluttering along behind it.” It has been drawn by four artists, PLANETA Saito more than anyone else with four cards.
