2023 Pokemon Company Scarlet ex AR Armarouge #080/078

This is the Japanese Art Rare (AR) version of Armarouge from the Scarlet ex set (sv1S), numbered 080/078 — placing it beyond the standard set count as a special rarity pull. The card features stunning full-art illustration by nagimiso, depicting Armarouge striding through a sunlit European-style cobblestone alleyway, its fiery armor gleaming with a brilliant holographic sheen. As a Stage 1 Fire-type with 130 HP, Armarouge boasts the Ability "Flare Coat," which lets you freely reassign Fire Energy attached to your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon on each of your turns. Its "Flame Cannon" attack deals 90 damage and inflicts burn on the opponent's Active Pokémon. The card back carries the flavorful Japanese text noting that Armarouge evolved through the armor of a loyal warrior — a Pokémon of great devotion and fighting spirit. A highly sought-after AR pull from the Japanese Scarlet ex set.
