Arcanine is a fiercely brave and loyal Pokémon. It is capable of running {{tt|6,200 miles|10,000 kilometers}} in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. Arcanine has long been admired for its beauty and speed, and anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. The source of its power is a flame blazing wildly inside its body. [[AG139|In the anime,]] it was shown that it stashes food in its mane and carries it to its nest for its young. Arcanine lives in active volcanoes and on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|prairies}}.

Arcanine (Japanese: ウインディ Windie) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone.

Biology

Arcanine is a quadruped, canine Pokémon with an orange pelt marked by jagged black stripes. It has diamond-shaped ears with beige insides, black eyes, a round, black nose, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Its head, muzzle, and chest are covered in shaggy, beige fur, except for two oval sections around each eye and ear. Long tufts of fur grow behind its knees and around its ankles. Its underside is black, and it has a billowing, beige tail that is bent in the middle. Each paw has three toes and a round, pink pad.

Arcanine is a fiercely brave and loyal Pokémon. It is capable of running 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers) in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. Additionally, the move Extreme Speed was its signature move in the past. Arcanine has long been admired for its beauty and speed, and anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. The source of its power is a flame blazing wildly inside its body. In the anime, it was shown that it stashes food in its mane and carries it to its nest for its young. Arcanine lives on prairies, and Pokémon Snap has also shown it living in active volcanoes.

Major appearances

Gary's Arcanine

Gary Oak has an Arcanine that was first seen in the episode The Battle of the Badge battling Giovanni. He used his Arcanine later to help him in the Extreme Pokémon Race in the episode Extreme Pokémon! against Ash's Bayleef.

Other

Arcanine and its pre-evolution, Growlithe, have often been used as police dogs.

Ash battled an Arcanine in Fire and Ice. This Arcanine was under the ownership of Pete Pebbleman and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated Ash's Kingler by dodging its Bubble attack and using Dragon Rage. Pikachu managed to defeat the Arcanine with a Thunderbolt attack after its Fire Blast melted the Ice Field.

In The Stolen Stones, two Trainers named Ramona and Keegan had three Arcanine, one under the ownership of Keegan and two belonging to his sister Ramona. The Fire-type Pokémon were used to deliver some Fire Stones to be used as prizes for a local Fire Pokémon tournament. The two Trainers used their Arcanine to save Ash, Misty, and Brock from falling off a cliff.

In On Cloud Arcanine, Drew and May wanted to capture an Arcanine for use in a Pokémon Contest. When it was discovered that the Pokémon had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take care of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In Tactics Theatrics!!, Tucker uses the "Fiery Fleet-Footed" Arcanine along with a Swampert to battle against Ash's Swellow and Corphish.

Marley owns an Arcanine, as seen in Keeping In Top Forme!.

Minor appearances

In Pokémon Emergency!, Arcanine was one of the four legendary Pokémon on the tablet at the Viridian City Pokémon Center. Despite not actually being a Legendary Pokémon, this may reflect its species description as the "Legendary" Pokémon.

An Arcanine was seen in a fantasy in The Rivalry Revival.

An Arcanine participated in a Pokémon breeding competition in Beauty and the Breeder.

An Arcanine appeared in Team Rocket's fantasy in Imitation Confrontation.

Trivia

File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png
Engravings of "Legendary Pokémon" Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and Arcanine in EP002

Origin

Arcanine is based on the Ryukyuan シーサー shisa, or 狛犬 komainu, mythical creatures inspired by lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. It could also be based on the Haetae, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers.

Name origin

Arcanine is a combination of arcane and canine.

Windie may refer to wind or windy, reflecting its defining nature of being fast like the wind, further emphasized by Extreme Speed being its signature move in Generation II.
