Articuno-EX Pokémon Trading Card (Plasma Storm 25/135)

This is a full-art, holographically finished Pokémon Trading Card featuring the legendary ice-bird Pokémon, Articuno. The card measures standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from cardstock with a distinctive blue border, identifying it as part of the Team Plasma subset within the 'Black & White - Plasma Storm' expansion released in 2013. The illustration, credited to artist Eske Yoshinob, showcases a stylized, aggressive Articuno surrounded by crystalline energy effects. It features 170 HP and lists two specific attacks: Blizzard (60 damage) and Frost Prison (80 damage), accompanied by the 'Team Plasma' shield watermark in the background of the text box. Notable markings include the set number 25/135 in the bottom right corner. Regarding condition, the card is housed in a plastic binder sleeve which obscures fine surface scratches, but visible whitening is present along the bottom yellow border and corners, suggesting moderate play wear. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left margin. This card is a 'Rare Holo EX' rarity, a high-tier pull from its original 2013 manufacturing period, valued for its mechanical utility in the game as well as its status as a collectible legendary bird.
