Archie

Archie on cards: Team Magma vs Team Aqua to Primal Clash

His first card, the Supporter Archie, appeared in the Team Magma vs Team Aqua set (2004), illustrated by Ken Sugimori. It put a Team Aqua Pokémon from the deck straight onto the Bench. Primal Clash (2015) introduced Archie's Ace in the Hole as an Uncommon illustrated by Yusuke Ohmura and a full-art Ultra Rare illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga.

Eleven years between his two cards

Archie's two Supporters sit eleven years apart. Archie's Ace in the Hole can only be played as the last card in hand; it puts a Water Pokémon from the discard pile onto the Bench and then draws 5 cards.
