Neo Destiny is a set in the Neo series. It was released on 28 February 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. Light Arcanine is 12/105, in position 12 of 113 on this checklist. Before it is 11 Dark Tyranitar, and after it is 13 Light Azumarill. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.
Light Arcanine is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 47. 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).
Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 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). That card is named Arcanine, while this one is Light Arcanine. Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 36 other cards of Arcanine list a different HP.
Drive Off is listed as Pokémon Power. As long as Light Arcanine is your Active Pokémon, once during your turn (before your attack), if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. This power can't be used while Light Arcanine is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Gentle Flames lists 50 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon, this attack does 10 damage instead of 50. If the Defending Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon, this attack does 30 damage instead of 50. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This legendary Chinese Pokémon is easily recognized by its large flowing mane."
I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arcanine can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Atsuko Nishida cards, early series. I still need this card.
