Collector Insights

Arcanine is a Fire-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It includes two attacks: "Shake," which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, forcing the opponent to switch the Defending Pokémon with a Benched one if available, and "White Flames," requiring two Fire and one Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage while discarding all Fire Energy attached to Arcanine. The card possesses a Poké-Power ability called "Energy Recharge," allowing players to flip three coins when evolving Arcanine from their hand, with each heads granting a basic Energy card from the discard pile to Arcanine. It has no resistances and is weak to Water, which deals double damage. The card was released in the Skyridge set as part of the E-Card series on May 12, 2003, and is classified as a Rare Holo. Designed by artist Aya Kusube, its theme color is a warm orange, reflecting its Fire typing. The card’s artwork and design elements align with its role in the game’s mechanics as described.
