# Archie (Japanese) #029 — Aqua Deck Kit

## Summary

Archie reached Japanese shelves in October 2003 inside the Aqua Deck Kit, a ready-to-play product rather than a booster pull, which sets this Japanese edition apart. The English Team Magma vs Team Aqua version followed in March 2004. Here the Team Aqua leader stands in a black jacket and blue bandana before a dark, watery backdrop, and his standing as Hoenn's sea-obsessed villain keeps him wanted. The modelled guide sits at $3.00; no PSA population is on file.
