Trivia
|
This article has information requiring translation. If you are able to translate section and would like to help, please add the English translation to the section or sections in section. |
- 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. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Articuno that was later used on the Articuno Legendary Card from Template:Card GB.
Origin
Freeze-Dry is a move later introduced in the Generation VI Pokémon games. Blizzard is a move in the Pokémon games that Articuno can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
