051/182 Team Rocket's Articuno (Rare Non-Holo/Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex League Battle Deck Exclusive) - Destined Rivals - Pokémon card (English)

Team Rocket's Articuno is a Rare Water-type Pokémon from Pokémon TCG – Scarlet & Violet: Destined Rivals. This special non-holo version is an exclusive card included in the Pokémon TCG: Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex League Battle Deck. Unlike the regular holo and reverse-holo versions found in Destined Rivals booster products, this printing features a non-holo finish, making it a distinct addition for collectors and Team Rocket fans.

With 120 HP, this Basic Pokémon offers a useful combination of defensive protection and offensive potential. Its Repelling Veil ability protects your Basic Team Rocket's Pokémon in play from the effects of attacks used by your opponent's Pokémon, helping protect your Team Rocket strategy against disruptive effects.

Its Dark Frost attack deals 60 damage, with an additional 60 damage if Team Rocket's Energy is attached. This allows Articuno to deliver up to 120 damage while rewarding decks built around Team Rocket's Energy.

Combining defensive utility, solid damage output and Team Rocket synergy, this special Battle Deck exclusive is an interesting collectible for Pokémon TCG enthusiasts and a practical addition to Team Rocket-themed decks.
