Ice Float is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon has any Water Energy attached, it has no Retreat Cost. The attack Blizzard lists 110 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. This attack also does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

Articuno (#144) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Articuno 22/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and chibi illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 32 other cards of Articuno list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads chibi. I count 40 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

151 set binder is where a full 151 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Articuno can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Legendary birds, Winter: Ice Pokémon, Modern living dex: the 151, and Bird Pokémon. I still need this card.
