How to get Articuno ex

Choose the Mewtwo booster within Genetic Apex; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A1 and collector number 84 when checking the card. The denominator 226 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.

How this Articuno ex printing works

Ice Wing deals 40; Blizzard deals 80 to the Active and 10 to every opposing Benched Pokémon. Bench spread prepares future targets, rather than letting you concentrate that damage freely. This 140 HP Basic Water ex avoids an evolution line, but costs two points on knockout and still needs Energy.

Basic Water ex with 140 HP; a launch-set Water finisher. Also in Eevee Grove (SSR) and Deluxe Pack: ex.

Deck choices and printing differences

Use the Water deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.

The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
