Articuno GX 31/168 Pokémon Celestial Storm Raw

Step into the storm and command the icy fury of one of Kanto’s most revered legendary Pokémon with Articuno GX, featured in the Sun & Moon: Celestial Storm expansion. This Ultra Rare Pokémon-GX card (card number 31/168) captures the majestic, frost-winged guardian in stunning detail, its piercing gaze and shimmering plumage rendered with holofoil brilliance that makes it a standout addition to any collection. As a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 170 HP, Articuno GX combines legendary resilience with devastating offensive capabilities, making it not just a visual centerpiece but a strategic powerhouse on the battlefield.

Articuno GX enters play with a tactical advantage through its Legendary Ascent Ability: when played from your hand to the Bench, you may immediately switch it into the Active position and transfer any number of Water Energy from your other Pokémon to it. This enables rapid deployment and energy acceleration, setting the stage for its signature attacks. With Ice Wing, it delivers a commanding 130 damage, while its game-changing GX attack, Cold Crush-GX, forces both Active Pokémon to discard all attached Energy—resetting the pace of battle and potentially crippling an over-energized opponent. Remember, as a Pokémon-GX, its defeat grants your opponent two Prize cards, so timing and protection are crucial.

Beyond gameplay, this raw, ungraded card is a prized collectible from the 79th Pokémon TCG expansion, released in August 2018, which introduced cosmic themes and Ultra Space-inspired designs. Whether you're building a competitive Water-type deck, completing your Celestial Storm set, or showcasing legendary Pokémon art, Articuno GX (31/168) is a must-have. Its Ultra Rare holofoil finish and iconic status ensure lasting value and appeal for trainers, duelists, and collectors alike.
