#8 Arceus - Arceus (pl4)
Arceus is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It boasts a resistance to Lightning damage, reducing it by 20, and a weakness to Water, which deals double damage. The card’s sole attack, Break Ground, costs Fighting and two Colorless energy to deal 60 damage while also inflicting 10 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon, bypassing their usual Weakness and Resistance. Artist Hajime Kusajima designed the card, which is part of the Platinum series and released as part of the Arceus set in 2009. Its rarity is listed as Rare, and the card includes a rule allowing multiple copies in a deck. The flavor text reflects Arceus’s mythic origin, describing it as emerging from an egg in an empty void to shape the world. This card’s unique mechanics and thematic depth make it a notable entry in the Pokémon TCG collection.
