Articuno-EX is card #25 of Plasma Storm (2013), a Rare Holo EX Pokémon, illustrated by Toyste Beach.
Articuno-EX appears in 4 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Plasma Storm (2013) #25 card is the most recent of 4 printings (2003–2013). Other Articuno-EX printings sit at Rare Ultra, Rare Secret, Promo rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo EX Plasma Storm card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 170 HP, while other Articuno-EX cards in the catalogue range from 100 to 170 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Articuno-EX hub page.
HP: 170 · Type: Water · Weakness: Metal ×2 · Resistance: Fighting -20 · Retreat cost: 1 energy
The 1 in 48 pull chance is calculated from the Plasma Storm rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Articuno-EX Plasma Storm #25 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $16.02 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 200 Pack Dust from the Plasma Storm dust pool, which fills as you open Plasma Storm packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Articuno-EX or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
