# Arcanine #6/18 — Detective Pikachu

## Summary

Arcanine has been a Kantō favorite since Red and Blue, and this printing comes from the Detective Pikachu movie tie-in, credited to MPC Film, the effects studio behind the film's creatures. Its damage-reducing Ability gave it a modest tournament look, but fans of the film are the real draw. The modelled guide sits at $3.46, up 131% over 30 days on 87 copies traded, with only 40 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $850 and a 30% observed gem rate putting about $150 of expected profit per submission.
