Description
Released in 2009, the Pokémon Arceus AR8 Holo card stands as a notable entry in the Arceus expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designed by Hajime Kusajima, this Rare card identifies the mythical Pokémon Arceus, known for its lore of shaping the world. As a Fighting-type Basic Pokémon with 80 HP, it offers a unique strategic profile for collectors who appreciate its distinct typing and attack mechanics. Collectors often seek the AR8 card number for its specific place within the set, while the Holo finish adds visual appeal to the portfolio. The card's ability, Break Ground, allows players to deal damage to their own Benched Pokémon, a mechanic that distinguishes it from standard offensive cards. This release captures the essence of the Arceus set, appealing to those building comprehensive collections or focusing on Mythical Pokémon variants. For investors and hobbyists alike, understanding the card's attributes, including its Stage, HP, and Retreat Cost, is vital for accurate valuation and set completion.
