Arceus V SWSH204

This is Arceus V, a promotional card from the Sword and Shield era, carrying the SWSH204 number. Arceus is one of the most prominent mythical Pokemon in the franchise, often described in the games as a Pokemon tied to the very creation of its world, which gives any Arceus card a special place in collections.

As a promo, this card sits outside the numbered main sets and was distributed through special channels such as collection boxes and tins rather than booster packs. The V mechanic marks this as a powerful single Pokemon with high HP that gives up extra Prize cards when knocked out, a hallmark of the era's competitive cards.

Collectors look for promo cards like Arceus V to gather the full range of a Pokemon's appearances, including the releases that sit apart from the regular expansions. With the Arceus name behind it, this card holds a steady place in many Sword and Shield era collections.
