Description
Arcanine #12 from the 2012 Next Destinies expansion is a staple Fire-type card for collectors and players alike. As a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Growlithe, this card boasts a robust 130 HP, providing a sturdy presence in battle. The card features the Blazing Mane ability, which offers a unique defensive utility: if Arcanine is damaged by an opponent's attack, the attacking Pokémon becomes Burned. This effect can disrupt enemy strategies even if Arcanine is knocked out. The primary attack, Fire Spin, deals 100 damage but requires a coin flip. A tails result means discarding two Energy attached to Arcanine, adding a strategic layer to its usage. With a retreat cost of three, positioning this Pokémon requires careful energy management, making it a thoughtful choice for decks that can support its upkeep. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, this Rare card carries the NXD set code and serves as a key piece for those completing the Next Destinies collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a comprehensive Pokémon TCG archive, this Arcanine card represents a distinct era of the franchise.
