An average hides the shape of a group. These four points say where the money actually sits among Articuno cards.
The counting sections and the price sections do not share a denominator. This group holds 44 cards, but only 42 of them carry a price. Every figure about money on this page — the typical price, the quarters, the bands, the ladder — is counted on those 42, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 44.| Price band | Cards | Share |

| HP | 70 | 100 | 120 | 170 | 300 | 44 |
| Biggest attack | 20 | 50 | 80 | 110 | 210 | 41 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 44 Articuno cards that carry one. The typical card is 120 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 100 and 170 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Lowest | 23.3% of the highest | 70 HP |
| Lower quarter | 33.3% of the highest | 100 HP |
| Typical | 40.0% of the highest | 120 HP |
| Upper quarter | 56.7% of the highest | 170 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 300 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 41 Articuno cards that print one. The typical card hits for 80. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 50 and 110. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

| Cards with a special rule | 18 | 40.9% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 44 Articuno cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Legal in Standard today | 13.6% | 6 cards |

These six together cost $3.78, against $749.99 for the single dearest Articuno card. The two ends of the same group sit 1,786× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Articuno".
How Articuno compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Articuno is number 29 of 206 Pokémon, on Legendary Collection #2 at $749.99. By card count it is number 34, and by the price of an ordinary card number 50 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
