Articuno 17/62 Pokémon Fossil Raw

Articuno Holo 17/62 from the Pokémon Fossil set is a highly sought-after collectible for fans and traders alike. As part of the third expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released in October 1999, this card stands out with its striking holographic artwork and powerful in-game abilities. Although numbered 17/62, this rare holo features the majestic Articuno, a Legendary Bird Pokémon known for its icy powers and elusive nature. With 70 HP and dual attacks—Freeze Dry and Blizzard—this Basic Water-type Pokémon brings both visual appeal and strategic value to any deck or collection.

The Articuno Holo 17/62 remains a prized find due to its shimmering holofoil pattern, which showcases the early "shattered ice" or "star" effect characteristic of Fossil set holos. The card’s design features Articuno mid-flight against a stormy sky, rendered in vivid detail by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Its rarity and nostalgic significance make it a favorite among collectors who appreciate the vintage aesthetic and historical importance of late '90s Pokémon cards. Whether used in casual play, competitive vintage formats, or preserved as a collectible, this card holds enduring charm.
