Collecting Arceus

Arceus packs thirty-four cards into just nine sets, a denser concentration than most Pokémon in this run, and twenty-five of those clear the higher price tier with zero commons or uncommons anywhere. The chase is a tag-team GX card, Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX from 2019's Cosmic Eclipse, rather than a solo Arceus print. Kouki Saitou and Ryo Ueda each illustrated three cards, behind 5ban Graphics' seven.
