Trivia

Blaine's Arcanine was the first Pokémon in the TCG to have an attack with a base damage of over 100. It may have been made in attack of Base Set's Charizard, which had the same HP as this card's base damage (120).

Origin

• Blaine uses an Arcanine when battled for the Volcano Badge in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
• Heat Tackle functions similarly to Take Down, a move in the Pokémon games that Arcanine can learn.
