&#039;&#039;&#039;Archer&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;アポロ&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Apollo&#039;&#039;) is one of the [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. He was not given an official name or design to distingush him from the other male Executives until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the core series games==&lt;br /&gt;
An unnamed male {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Admin}} that may be Archer appeared in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. He is the leader of the [[Sevii Islands]] branch of Team Rocket, and accuses the player of spreading rumors that Team Rocket has disbanded, something he does not believe. When the player defeats him, he recognizes the {{badge|Earth}} and accepts that Giovanni has been defeated, finally disbanding [[Team Rocket]], but he [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|vows to find him and resurrect Team Rocket someday]]. The computer he was working on mentions [[Red Gyarados|the effect of radio waves on Pokémon Evolution]], foreshadowing Team Rocket&#039;s later actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Generation II|Three years later]], Archer is the interim head of Team Rocket during the absence of [[Giovanni]]. He leads the team in its takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], aiming to locate his missing leader and bring him back to the team. After being defeated, he disbands the organization again and disappears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Archer appears in [[Pokémon: Let&#039;s Go, Pikachu! and Let&#039;s Go, Eevee!]] as Giovanni&#039;s trusted confidant and deputy. He is first seen in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], meeting with Giovanni regarding his studying of the [[Silph Scope]]. Though Giovanni dismisses the Silph Scope itself as a toy, he agrees with Archer&#039;s assessment that it proves [[Silph Co.]] can provide technology useful to Team Rocket and gives Archer the assignment to plan Team Rocket&#039;s attack on the company. As he leaves Giovanni&#039;s office, he comes across the player, and battles them to keep them from reaching Giovanni. After his defeat, he allows the player to pass. He later appears during Team Rocket&#039;s invasion of Silph, where he battles the player and {{ga|Trace}} with the assistance of a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt}}. Despite his initial failure to stop the player and Trace, he returns soon after with the intent of wasting as much of their time as he can. Trace decides to battle Archer so that the player may reach Giovanni.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, following the disbandment of Team Rocket, Archer can be found in Giovanni&#039;s office in the Team Rocket Hideout. He challenges the player to one last battle out of anger for their defeat of Giovanni. Following his defeat, he reveals that he expected the player to show up eventually and drafted a letter to them, in which he congratulates the player for becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} and declares his intent to leave [[Kanto]] to found a stronger incarnation of Team Rocket somewhere else before announcing the organization&#039;s return. Archer questions himself regarding what he wanted the player to think of him, then tears up the letter and leaves, bidding the player farewell.&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|Carl}}&lt;br /&gt;
Archer&#039;s first counterpart was based on his [[Generation II]] design and named Carl. Although [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]] use the same design in Generation II, Carl owns three Houndoom which is the signature Pokémon of Archer. He appeared in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver &amp;amp; Crystal}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the creation of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a second counterpart with Archer&#039;s new official name and design appears alongside the other three Executives as their leader. He, along with his teammates, take control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to {{adv|Giovanni}}&#039;s intentions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the other three have their tasks related to the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Arceus}}, Archer&#039;s task is the capture of the Pokémon itself. Archer, Petrel, and Proton arrive to see Ariana having defeated {{adv|Crystal}} on Route 38. Suddenly, Arceus appears in front of them, and Crystal attempts to capture it, shocking the Executives in the process. Despite her tenacity, Crystal ultimately fails in capturing the Pokémon and is sent flying into a tree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Executives chase Arceus down and find it battling {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Once Arceus uses its powers and transports them all to the Sinjoh Ruins, the four Executives restrain Arceus and force it onto the Mystri Stage. Archer takes control of Arceus, and uses the [[Plate]]s to demonstrate its great and varied abilities to Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Archer forces Arceus to use its great powers to create the Legendary Pokémon {{DL|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)|Giratina}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing he has pleased his boss, Giovanni, Archer starts breaking down into tears. However, his joy is quickly destroyed when Silver flies off to distract the Executives while Gold and Crystal finish off the three Pokémon Arceus created. Having done so, Arceus, now freed from its restraints, uses its powers to send Archer and the other Executives flying and completes itself by absorbing the Plates. Much to the shock of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the clones begin reforming, to which Archer reveals that because the creation process started, it cannot be stopped. Archer snaps, and begins claiming that everything is destined; the creation of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, Arceus completing itself, the world becoming Team Rocket&#039;s, all destined. His insanity begins to scare his teammates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Giovanni returns, Archer is delighted to see that his plans worked and the person he considers the true boss of Team Rocket has returned. However, Archer becomes shocked when Giovanni starts to attack {{p|Giratina|the Pokémon that he worked so hard to create}}. Archer begs for Giovanni to stop, but Giovanni brushes him off. Outraged, Archer declares that Giovanni is not the man who he thought he was, and decides to capture Arceus and rule Team Rocket himself. Having lost his mind, Archer runs towards the stage to capture Arceus, only to be easily kicked away. He lands on Petrel and is knocked unconscious. After the battle had ended, Giovanni has Archer carried away and states that he will be given punishment later on.&lt;br /&gt;

After connecting with his [[Togebo]], he managed to reach Arceus, proving to it that humanity was worth saving. Afterward, Arceus left to parts unknown.}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Archer&#039;s design in [[Generation IV]] is based upon the original sprite of all male {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}} from [[Generation II]]. The other male Executives (now known as [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]]) were given entirely new designs. Similarly, [[Ariana]]&#039;s design is based on the original female Executive sprite, being the only female Executive in Johto.&lt;br /&gt;
* Before Archer&#039;s name and identity were revealed in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Gold &amp;amp; Silver: The Golden Boys]] had adapted the original male Executive as [[Carl]] and {{OBP|Grey|Golden Boys}}, respectively. Having similar roles to Archer and owning a {{p|Houndour}}, they should be considered as his [[cross-canon counterpart]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Considering [[Saturn]] is left with the assets of [[Team Galactic]] in [[Cyrus]]&#039;s absence, Archer could be seen as his parallel, as he controls Team Rocket in [[Giovanni]]&#039;s absence.&lt;br /&gt;
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], despite not being a [[Gym Leader]], Archer uses the [[Johto]] Gym Leader theme when he&#039;s battled.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Pikachu game tip coupon Black Diamond.png|thumb|right|A non-winning coupon featuring artwork of {{p|Pikachu}}]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Game Tip Collector Cards&#039;&#039;&#039; were [[Pokémon card]]s distributed in packages of {{wp|Lactalis|Lactalis}} cheese products in {{pmin|Canada}} on September 1998, launching along with the release of Pokemon Red / Blue in Canada.   Each package of cheese contained one of 4 game tip cards as well as a potential winning coupon for one of several Pokémon-related prizes, including [[Game Boy Color]] consoles (the fine print saying the Gameboy Color would not be shipped out till November 1998) and Pokémon video games. Non-winning coupons offered a $0.30 discount on the purchase of Black Diamond cheese.  Contest started August 1998 and ended July 1999.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 variants of the cards.   The early Lactantia printed ones from the province of Ontario and Quebec and the later more mass produced for the rest of Canada via Black Diamond labeled cards.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These were the very first Pokemon cards released in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Game Tip Collector Cards&#039;&#039;&#039; were [[Pokémon card]]s distributed in packages of {{wp|Lactalis|Lactalis}} cheese products in {{pmin|Canada}} in September 1998, launching along with the release of Pokemon Red / Blue in Canada.   Each package of cheese contained one of 4 game tip cards as well as a potential winning coupon for one of several Pokémon-related prizes, including [[Game Boy Color]] consoles and Pokémon video games. Non-winning coupons offered a $0.30 discount on the purchase of Black Diamond cheese.  Contest started August 1998 and ended July 1999.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 variants of the cards.   The early Lactantia printed ones from the province of Ontario and Quebec and the later more mass produced for the rest of Canada via Black Diamond labeled cards.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These were the very first Pokemon cards released in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Bandai Mew card.jpg|thumb|right|Mew Carddass card from 1996-1997, predating the Trading Card Game.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;This article is about collectible cards. For the trading card game, see [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;For the cards featuring individual Pokémon in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, see [[Pokémon (TCG)]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Collectible &#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon cards&#039;&#039;&#039; are cards which feature Pokémon characters or concepts, distributed either as promotional material, or as products in and of themselves. This technically includes the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], as it is a {{wp|collectible card game}} - however, unlike the TCG where cards act as game pieces, most other collectible cards do not necessarily serve any such function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The appeal of collectible cards tends to be derived from features such as their artwork, flavor text, or rarity, as well as attempting to collect complete sets of cards. Tying into this, some cards physically connect to each other, often forming a larger, secondary image.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collectible cards are generally produced and distributed by third-party companies under license by [[Nintendo]], rather than being produced in-house.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Pikachu game tip coupon Black Diamond.png|thumb|right|A non-winning coupon featuring artwork of {{p|Pikachu}}]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Game Tip Collector Cards&#039;&#039;&#039; were [[Pokémon card]]s distributed in packages of {{wp|Black Diamond Cheese Company|Black Diamond}} cheese products in {{pmin|Canada}} in September 1998, launching along with the release of Pokemon Red / Blue in Canada.   Each package of cheese contained one of 4 game tip cards as well as a potential winning coupon for one of several Pokémon-related prizes, including [[Game Boy]] consoles and Pokémon video games. Non-winning coupons offered a $0.30 discount on the purchase of Black Diamond cheese.  Contest started August 1998 and ended July 1999.  There are 2 variants of the cards.   The early Lactantia printed ones from the province of Ontario and Quebec and the later more mass produced for the rest of Canada Black Diamond labeled cards.  These were the very first Pokemon cards release in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Game Tip Collector Cards&#039;&#039;&#039; were [[Pokémon card]]s distributed in packages of {{wp|Black Diamond Cheese Company|Black Diamond}} cheese products in {{pmin|Canada}} in September 1998, launching along with the release of Pokemon Red / Blue in Canada.   Each package of cheese contained one of 4 game tip cards as well as a potential winning coupon for one of several Pokémon-related prizes, including [[Game Boy]] consoles and Pokémon video games. Non-winning coupons offered a $0.30 discount on the purchase of Black Diamond cheese.  Contest started August 1998 and ended July 1999.  There are 2 variants of the cards.   The early Lactantia printed ones from the province of Ontario and Quebec and the later more mass produced for the rest of Canada Black Diamond labeled cards.  These were the very first Pokemon cards release in North America.&lt;br /&gt;
