Arceus ◇ is card #96 of Forbidden Light (2018), a Rare Prism Star Pokémon, illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda.
Arceus ◇ appears in 14 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Forbidden Light (2018) #96 card is the most recent of 14 printings (2007–2018). Masakazu Fukuda only illustrated this Forbidden Light version; other printings credit Kunihiko Yuyama, kawayoo, Shin Nagasawa. Other Arceus ◇ printings sit at Promo, Rare rarity tiers, so this Rare Prism Star Forbidden Light card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 160 HP, while other Arceus ◇ cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 130 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Arceus ◇ hub page.

The 1 in 48 pull chance is calculated from the Forbidden Light rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Arceus ◇ Forbidden Light #96 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $14.43 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 10 Pack Dust from the Forbidden Light dust pool, which fills as you open Forbidden Light packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Arceus ◇ or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
