About this card
Deep crimson is not a color anyone reaches for with Articuno, and Ryo Ueda uses it anyway, dropping the pale blue bird onto a red field with its wings flared and its talons open. Every Rocket's Pokémon-ex in the set is a Darkness card, so an ice bird ends up Darkness type while Ice Wing is still paid for with Water Energy. Darkness Veil then blocks every effect of an opponent's attack except the damage itself, for as long as one Darkness Energy stays attached.
