Arcanine 22/132 · Secret Wonders

Secret Wonders is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Arcanine is 22/132, in position 22 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 21 Absol, and after it is 23 Banette. The listed rarity is Rare.

Arcanine is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 48. In the Pokédex this is Arcanine (#059), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Growlithe. In this catalog that name is Growlithe (#058).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Arcanine (#059) has 41 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 34 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Arcanine 23/102 in Base (1999). Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 36 other cards of Arcanine list a different HP.

Flame Dash is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn, when you play Arcanine from your hand to evolve 1 of your Benched Pokémon, you may switch Arcanine with 1 of your Active Pokémon. If you do, you may move any number of Energy cards attached to that Pokémon to Arcanine. The attack Inferno Onrush lists 120 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless, Colorless. Arcanine does 40 damage to itself. Weakness is Water +30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its proud and regal appearance has captured the hearts of people since long ago."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arcanine can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
