>>46003565The artwork even exists, but they wasted it on some shitty promo card. But the release order of the birds was always weird anyway. Base set Zapdos is illustrated by sugimori, too, so it’s clearly part of the same trio with rockets moltres and this Articuno card. The birds from fossil are all illustrated by Arita so I guess this rockets Zapdos is actually the odd one out.
