Hisuian Arcanine · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Hisuian Arcanine card
Numbered 84 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Hisuian Arcanine is a Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Hisuian Growlithe, so Hisuian Arcanine is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Hisuian Arcanine carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Snaps at its foes with fangs cloaked in blazing flame. Despite its bulk, it deftly feints every which way, leading opponents on a deceptively merry chase as it all but dances around them."
What is Hisuian Arcanine worth?
Hisuian Arcanine is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Lost Origin's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Lost Origin holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Hisuian Arcanine before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Hisuian Arcanine lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The fighting foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Hisuian Arcanine
When you go to buy Hisuian Arcanine, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Hisuian Arcanine, so price the specific copy in front of you.
