HP printed on the 42 Arcanine cards that carry one. The typical card is 120 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 93 and 130 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.

| Cards with an Ability | 16 | 38.1% |
| Cards with a special rule | 6 | 14.3% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 42 Arcanine cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

Back to summaryThe cheapest Arcanine Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.

How Arcanine compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Arcanine is number 54 of 206 Pokémon, on Legend Maker #83 at $459.99. By card count it is number 36, and by the price of an ordinary card number 93 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
