The original Kanto legendary bird, rendered at its most serene. Articuno 161/159 from Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together (SV09) lands as an Illustration Rare — a secret card numbered beyond the set's 159-card base, the hallmark of the modern era's most collectible non-holo pulls. The art is by Kuroimori, a Scarlet & Violet-era illustrator whose style leans whimsical and atmospheric, and the composition here delivers exactly that: Articuno gliding through a frozen forest, crystalline fronds and icy sparkles framing the scene, cool cyan and deep blue dominating the palette. No battle pose, no forced drama — the illustration simply trusts one of Pokémon's most beloved Gen I legendaries to carry the card.

  • Card: Articuno — 161/159, Illustration Rare (IR), Holofoil
  • Set: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together (SV09), released March 28, 2025 — the ninth main Scarlet & Violet expansion and the set that brought back the beloved Trainer's Pokémon mechanic
  • Illustrator: Kuroimori, with multiple Scarlet & Violet-era credits including Paldean Fates and Twilight Masquerade
  • Market: Raw NM copies trading around $20–22 across TCGPlayer and recent eBay sales, with the card showing a notable uptick in the past 30 days
  • Condition: Near Mint (NM)

Articuno has long been the consensus favorite of the Kanto bird trio among collectors — the Ice-typing, the elegant palette, the calm-flight aesthetic all age exceptionally well in modern art treatments. This Kuroimori Illustration Rare is the cleanest, most evocative single-card Articuno of the modern era. A natural anchor for any Generation I legendary collection or Illustration Rare run from SV09.
