SV1EN is (partly) a combination of the twinned JP sets, SV1V and SV1S. Arcanine ex is from SV1V, and its standard art clashes against the set’s Iron Treads ex, Miraidon, and Miraidon ex – all those cards face left, but Arcanine ex is facing right. Contrast this against SV1S – Great Tusk ex, Koraidon, and Koraidon ex are all face right, but Gyarados ex faces left.
Some of these cards flip the directions they’re facing for their alt arts – Arcanine ex flips from left to right, Iron Treads ex flips from right to left. Their apparent counterparts do the opposite – Gyarados ex flips from right to left, and Great Tusk ex from left to right. It’s only Miraidon (and/or Miraidon ex) and Koraidon (and/or Koraidon ex) which are sticking to facing the correct directions – at least so far – for all their prints.
n.b. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of directional symmetry come up as a way to differentiate twinned sets in the TCG. Many of the cards I talked about in my comment of XY8 Mewtwo-EX #164 differentiated themselves from each other not just with blue and red-colored accents, but also the directions they faced. You might notice Groudon and Kyogre cards in the same set tend to be facing in the different direction from each other, etc.
