i was looking through a magazine which had the fossil translations (all i can
tell u about it is that brian brocaw writes for it :)     anyways i came
across a in my opinion the best water pokemon in fossil articuno
first  lets look at the card below

Pokemon No.: 144
Type: Water
Evolution: Basic
Name: ArticunoLevel: 35HP: 70
Weakness: None
Resistance: Fighting -30
Retreat Cost: 2
Attacks:
[WWW] Freeze Dry (30) Flip coin.  If heads, then defender is paralyzed.
[WWWW] Blizzard (50) Flip coin.  If heads, then all of opponent's Pokemon
suffer
10 damage; if tails, then all of your Pokemon suffer 10 damage.

first of all his moves  kick ass 30 damage and has a chance of paralyzation
next fifty damage and 10 damage to either your bench or opponents
finally rain dance will get the help it deserves
and he has no weakness one of a couple select few pokemon and he doesnt suck
like gastly haunter or zapados dratini sux but dragonair is ok but dragonite
is cool too the only thing that is bad about him is how much his moves cost
but it will be ok as long as u have blastoise out :)
but his retreat could be better and he is a rare holo which will make him
hard to find but 70 hp is not that bad espically because he has no weakness
i think every raindance should have at least two of him i kno mine will
