First released in 1999 as part of the inaugural Base Set, this Uncommon Stage 1 Fire-type Pokémon captures the majestic spirit of Arcanine in its classic Ken Sugimori artwork. Known for its blazing speed and noble presence, Arcanine evolves from Growlithe and stands as a symbol of loyalty and strength.

Its enduring popularity is a testament to Arcanine’s beloved status in the Pokémon universe—a creature often described as running gracefully as if on wings. Whether displayed in a protective sleeve, stored in a vintage binder, or used in casual play, this card continues to ignite the passion of Pokémon enthusiasts across generations.
