Armarouge 086/084 IR - Pitch Black Pokemon

Armarouge gets an absolutely explosive Illustration Rare, with artwork that captures just how powerful this Fire/Psychic Pokémon is supposed to be.

Rather than simply posing for the artwork, Armarouge looks like it's right in the middle of battle. Flames erupt around its armour as it drives forward, with its huge arm cannon dominating the foreground. The sweeping movement through the image makes the whole card feel like a single frame pulled straight from an animated fight scene.

The colour work is particularly striking. Fiery reds, oranges and yellows clash against the cooler blues and greys of the surroundings, making Armarouge stand out even more. There's smoke, debris and energy everywhere, but the composition still keeps your attention firmly on the Pokémon.

It's a great representation of Armarouge's design too — a Pokémon whose armour is strengthened by psychic and fire energy, turning that armour into both its protection and its weapon.

A seriously good-looking modern Illustration Rare for Armarouge, Charcadet and Paldea collectors, especially if you like cards with a more action-heavy style of artwork.
