Articuno (Reverse Holo) R 144/165 SV2a Pokémon Card 151 - Pokemon Card Japanese

Discover the power of ice float

Dive into battle with this Rare Water-type card, numbered 144/165. Boasting an impressive 120 HP and classified as a Basic card, it is designed to make an impact right from the start. One of its key features is the "Ice Float" ability. When W Energy is attached, this allows for a free retreat, making it flexible for strategic gameplay.

Unleash a powerful blizzard attack

With an energy cost of [WWW], the Blizzard attack delivers 110 damage directly to the opponent’s active Pokemon. Additionally, it inflicts 10 damage to each of their Benched Pokemon without considering Weakness and Resistance. This can shift the tide in your favor by weakening your opponent's backup lineup swiftly.

Consider strengths and resistances

Be mindful of its specific interactions: a Lightning weakness (Lx2) makes it vulnerable to Electric types while showing resistance against Fighting (F-30). The retreat cost is standard at 2 unless mitigated by the Ice Float ability. Illustrated by chibi, note there’s a machine cross mark disclaimer on the card.
