# Articuno #25/83 — Generations

## Summary

Articuno has been a Kanto favorite since the first games, and a Generations Ultra Rare gives that nostalgia a proper slot in a set built to celebrate the originals. Find Ice's energy search gave it real utility in Water decks, and Ryo Ueda's work adds appeal for illustration-minded collectors. At a $40 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 83 copies traded, with 95 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Journey Together; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $3,470 and a 7% observed gem rate putting about $130 of expected profit per submission.
