Release information

  • In Japan, this card was reprinted with artwork from one of five winning entries of the Nintendo 64 Pokémon Snap contest held in Spring 1999. This version is extremely rare and the exact number in existence is unknown.
  • In Japan, this card was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori. At the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament, those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either an Articuno, Moltres or Zapdos at random in a sealed envelope.
  • The holographic version of this card was reprinted in the Legendary Collection reprint set, which was only released outside of Japan.

Trivia

  • The Japanese "Snap" print has a camera graphic where an expansion symbol would usually be.
  • Unlike the majority of the cards released through the Spring 1999 Pokémon Snap contests, the "Snap" print does feature the additional text on the bottom right.
  • The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card.

Origin

Blizzard is a move in the Pokémon games that Articuno can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
