Articuno Holo 2/62 Pokémon Fossil Raw

The Articuno Holo 2/62 from the Pokémon Fossil set is a legendary collectible that captures the majesty of the ancient Ice-type Pokémon in stunning holographic detail. First released in 1999 as part of the third expansion to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Rare Holo card features Articuno in its full avian glory, rendered with shimmering foil that enhances the icy theme of the legendary bird. As one of the iconic trio of fossil-revived Pokémon—alongside Zapdos and Moltres—Articuno holds a special place in the hearts of fans and collectors alike. This raw (ungraded) version offers a genuine piece of Pokémon TCG history, perfect for those who appreciate vintage cards in their original state.

Card details include a Water-type classification, 70 HP, and powerful attacks like "Freeze Dry" and "Blizzard," which reflect Articuno’s chilling abilities in battle. The card’s design features the classic early-era Pokémon artwork, with many listings attributing the illustration to Mitsuhiro Arita. It belongs to the Fossil set (2/62), carries a retreat cost of two Colorless energies, and includes resistance of -30 to Fire-type damage. Whether used in gameplay or displayed as a collector’s item, the Holo 2/62 version stands out thanks to its reflective starburst pattern and vibrant coloring, characteristic of the early holographic printing techniques used in the TCG

Available in both 1st Edition and Unlimited print runs, the Articuno Fossil holo has become increasingly sought after over the years. While graded versions can command high prices, the raw card remains an accessible option for enthusiasts looking to own a piece of Pokémon history without the premium. Cards in Near Mint or better condition are especially prized, showing minimal wear from handling or play. Whether you're completing a vintage collection, building a retro-themed deck, or seeking a nostalgic keepsake, the Articuno Holo 2/62 is a timeless addition to any Pokémon TCG arsenal.
