About this card
A wonderfully characterful Archen Illustration Rare from the 2025 English Scarlet & Violet set SV11w: White Flare. Numbered 131/086 — well beyond the standard set total as befits an Illustration Rare — this card presents the beloved fossil Pokémon Archen in the gorgeous painterly full-art holo style that makes IR cards genuine collector pieces. Archen is one of the most distinctive and beloved fossil Pokémon ever introduced — the First Bird Pokémon from the Unova region, a Rock and Flying-type revived from the Plume Fossil in Pokémon Black and White. Its vibrant, almost prehistoric energy and expressive design have made it a firm fan favourite since its debut, and the Illustration Rare full-art treatment gives Archen the dramatic, eye-catching spotlight it deserves. White Flare is part of the landmark 2025 double-set celebrating all of Generation V alongside Black Bolt, and fossil Pokémon collectors and Unova enthusiasts alike will find this a particularly appealing pull. Illustrated by Haru Akasaka, whose artwork brings a vivid and dynamic quality to the full-art canvas.
