4 facts about this card
Card History
This Arcanine comes from the original English Base Set, and its Shadowless printing marks it as part of the earliest non-1st Edition run collectors chase for its distinctly clean, no-drop-shadow layout.
Artist
Arcanine’s artwork was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the co-founder of Game Freak whose art defined the look of early Pokémon and who is credited on hundreds of Pokémon TCG cards.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text echoes Arcanine’s Pokédex identity from the games, where it is celebrated as a Pokémon admired for its beauty and famed for running with a light, almost flying grace.
Card History
With 100 HP and a hard-hitting Take Down attack, Base Set Arcanine stood out in early play as an unusually powerful Stage 1 Fire-type that felt built to hit fast and trade aggressively.
