# Arcanine #18/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Arcanine is a Kantō favorite whose loyal, regal-dog image keeps Gen I Fire fans buying across every era. Here it's a plain Rare in a remake set, so demand rests on nostalgia and Ken Sugimori's name, the original Pokémon designer, rather than any chase-slot pull or tournament weight. The modelled guide sits at $2.03, flat over 30 days on 13 copies traded, with 110 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $21, 10 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
