Collector Insights
Articuno ex is a Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It features the Synchronized Lift ability, which reduces its retreat cost to zero if both Zapdos ex and Moltres ex are in play. The card includes two attacks: Ice Gift, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage while allowing the transfer of a Water Energy to another Pokémon, and Freezing Wing, requiring two Water and one Colorless energy to deal 50 damage and potentially put the defending Pokémon to sleep. Articuno ex has a Metal weakness that doubles its damage. It is part of the Nintendo Black Star Promos set, released in October 2003, and is classified as a Promo rarity. The card’s rules state that if Articuno ex is knocked out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. Its design emphasizes strategic energy management and conditional support for other Pokémon-ex cards.
