Articuno (Skyridge 4)

Articuno Skyridge 4/144 – rare non-holo variant from the WOTC era

Articuno Skyridge 4/144 is an authentic English Pokémon TCG single card from the legendary Skyridge set, released in 2003 as the final main set under the Wizards of the Coast license. This card is the sought-after Rare non-holo variant of Articuno — one of the iconic Legendary Birds from the Kanto region. For collectors, the Skyridge set marks the end of the WOTC era and is known for its e-Reader compatibility, unique card design, and high collectability.

Details about the card and the Skyridge set

The Skyridge set consists of 144 main cards and several parallel variants, including reverse holo and Crystal secret rares. Articuno 4/144 is printed as a Basic Water-type Pokémon with artwork by Hajime Kusajima. The card is part of the E-Card series, which means it features the characteristic e-Reader layout with a data strip along the side.

Condition and variant – what you will receive

This product is a single card listing: you will receive one loose Articuno 4/144 non-holo card, not a sealed product or booster. The condition is LP (Lightly Played), which means the card may have minor surface scratches or light edge wear but still looks attractive and without major damage. For collectors, this is often a good compromise between authenticity and presentable condition.
