Aarune Delta Reign 139/103

Aarune is one of the more obscure Pokémon characters, serving as a guide to Secret Bases exclusively in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Secret Bases were a mechanic in Generation 3 where you could pick a designated spot in Hoenn as an entrance to a custom room. Given that Delta Reign is a partially Hoenn-themed set, I think it makes sense for him to show up here.

The card's effect is basically the same as Scott from the EX series, allowing you to search for up to 3 in any combination of Supporter and Stadium cards. While Aarune doesn't have any draw power, he's really effective on a turn where you already have everything set up and just want to get ready for next turn. The other great use of this card is to get both pieces of a Legendary Stadium, plus a Supporter. Some of these new Stadiums are really strong and might be worth using a Supporter to get. I think one or two Aarunes will be useful in a lot of decks.

This Special Illustration Rare card looks really great and helps give more personality to the character. It would have been nice to see his Flygon, but I like the detail of what is probably a Secret Base in the bottom right corner.
