Articuno V 170/198

Articuno V 170/198 is an Alternate Art card from the English Chilling Reign set, part of the Sword and Shield run. The alternate art treatment gives this card a different illustration to the standard V print, placing Articuno in an expanded full art scene that runs across the whole card face.

As a V card, Articuno carries the higher hit points and stronger attacks that came with the V mechanic during this period. Alternate art V cards are among the most collected layouts from the Sword and Shield era, valued for their detailed artwork and their scarcity compared with the regular versions.

Articuno is one of the original Kanto Legendary birds, a group with a long and devoted following. An alternate art V from Chilling Reign appeals to collectors of the Legendary birds as well as those chasing the set's standout illustrations, making it a recognisable pick for art focused collections.
