Arceus Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Arceus ◇ is a Rare Prism Star card, which means you could only include one copy of it in your deck and, once discarded, it was sent to the Lost Zone instead of the discard pile—giving the pull a true one-shot legendary feel.
Set Lore
This card was part of Sun & Moon—Forbidden Light, the May 4, 2018 expansion that specifically highlighted Arceus Prism Star among the set’s marquee cards, tying it to one of the era’s most dimension-bending releases.
In-Game
Its mythology-heavy flavor fits Arceus perfectly: official Pokémon material describes Arceus as the Pokémon said to have shaped all there is in the world, which makes this Prism Star treatment feel especially worthy of the franchise’s creator deity.
Card History
Arceus ◇ uniquely blends lore and gameplay, with First Law blocking attack effects while Trinity Star only works if Grass, Water, and Lightning Pokémon are on your Bench—a clever nod to Arceus as a Pokémon that transcends a single type or role.
Artist
Illustrator Masakazu Fukuda has been contributing to the Pokémon TCG since 2003 and is especially known for bold, striking compositions, making him a fitting choice for a radiant Prism Star depiction of Arceus.
