Archen

Description

Pokémon Noble Victories #66 Archen serves as a notable entry for collectors focusing on the 2011 release. This Uncommon card features the Fighting type subject, Archen, who was originally cataloged as Pokédex number 566. Designed by Kagemaru Himeno, the card presents a distinct visual identity within the Noble Victories set code (NVI), appealing to those interested in the specific design language of this era. For players and completists, this card is defined by its mechanical utility rather than just its aesthetic. Archen evolves from Plume Fossil and boasts 80 HP, offering a resilient presence on the playmat. The card includes two primary attacks: Fighting Rock Throw for consistent damage, and Colorless Acrobatics, which introduces a risk-reward dynamic by flipping coins to potentially double the damage output. With a retreat cost of just 1, it offers strategic flexibility during gameplay. Collectors often seek this piece when building comprehensive sets of the Noble Victories expansion. The reverse holo treatment adds a layer of visual interest that distinguishes it from standard prints, making it a valuable component for those looking to complete their collection of this series.
