HYOGONOSUKE illustrated this card. The same name is on 76 other cards in the catalog.

Articuno (#144) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 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 is named Articuno, while this one is Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno-GX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 300 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and HYOGONOSUKE illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 42 other cards of Articuno list a different HP. Zapdos (#145) has 50 cards in the catalog. Moltres (#146) has 44 cards in the catalog.

The attack Trinity Burn lists 210 damage. The cost is Fire, Water, Lightning, Colorless. Sky Legends-GX is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Shuffle this Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. If this Pokémon has at least 1 extra Fire, Water, and Lightning Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 110 damage to 3 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: TAG TEAM rule: When your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for SM Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the SM Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Legendary birds. I still need this card.
