Where it came from
Archie's Ace in the Hole was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion XY—Primal Clash in February 2015. This set drew its inspiration from the Nintendo 3DS games Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, focusing on the return of Groudon and Kyogre in their Primal Reversion forms. The card features Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, a villainous organization dedicated to expanding the world's oceans to create a habitat for aquatic Pokémon.
The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon franchise. As a Supporter card, it features a unique effect that allows players to draw until they have five cards in hand, provided they have no cards in their hand to begin with, reflecting the high-stakes, desperate strategy often associated with Archie's character. The design follows the aesthetic standards of the XY era, utilizing bold borders and a foil finish to denote its Rare Ultra status.
