Arcticuno #22/63 is a Water-type Basic Pokémon card from the Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) Black Star Promos, released in 2000 as part of a promotional campaign tied to Pokémon: The Movie 2000 – The Power of One. Illustrated by Toshinao Aoki, it has 70 HP, a Retreat Cost of 1, and a resistance to Fighting. Its attack, Diamond Dust, deals 20 damage and, on a successful coin flip, paralyzes the Defending Pokémon while also dealing 10 damage to each of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon (without applying Weakness or Resistance).

This non-holo promo card was distributed to moviegoers who purchased tickets for Pokémon: The Movie 2000, forming part of a trio with Moltres and Zapdos (cards #21 and #23). It features a gold foil stamp in the top right corner reading "Pokémon The Movie 2000," though some prints have the stamp missing or misaligned. Notably, early print runs credit the wrong artist—Toshinao Aoki instead of Naoyo Kimura—creating a sought-after error version among collectors.
