Arcanine Pros and Cons

High Damage for a Single-Prize Stage 1

Arcanine's Attack deals 100 damage with 3 Energy. For a Single-Prize Pokemon, this is a relatively high amount of damage.

Be Cautious of Self-Damage

While the Attack is powerful, Arcanine ex also takes 20 damage due to the Attack's effect. Be mindful of this and use a card like Potion to heal during the battle.

Great Synergy with Moltres ex

Arcanine takes time to set up, so in the early game, it may feel limited. However, pairing it with Moltres ex can help with Energy Acceleration, allowing you to quickly power up Arcanine.
