Description
Shining Arceus is card number 57 from the Shining Legends set, released by Pokémon in 2017. This card is classified as a Rare Shining with a distinctive holo finish, designed by artist Kouki Saitou. As a Basic Pokémon with 130 HP, it serves as a foundational piece for collectors interested in the legendary creator of the Pokémon universe. In terms of gameplay, Shining Arceus offers a powerful defensive capability through its Fabled Defense ability. This ability ensures that as long as Shining Arceus is the Active Pokémon, all damage done to Benched Pokémon by the opponent's attacks is prevented. This makes it a strategic asset in battles, providing protection to the player's team. For attacks, Shining Arceus utilizes Ultimate Arrow, which requires four Colorless energy. This attack deals 30 damage to each of the opponent's Pokémon, ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. The Retreat Cost for Shining Arceus is two Colorless energy. Collectors of Pokémon Trading Card Game cards often seek out Shining Arceus for its combination of legendary status, unique holo treatment, and strategic utility. The card's rarity and design make it a desirable addition to any collection, particularly for those focusing on legendary Pokémon or the Shining Legends set. Whether for completing a set, building a competitive deck, or simply appreciating the art and lore, Shining Arceus remains a significant card in the Pokémon TCG landscape.
