Gary's Arcanine (Japanese: シゲルのウインディ Shigeru's Windie) is one of Gary's strongest Pokémon.

History

Kanto

Its first appearance was in the Viridian City Gym, in the episode The Battle of the Badge. Gary sent it out to battle Giovanni's Kingler. Despite a type disadvantage, Arcanine came out on top and defeated the Template:Type2. However, both his Arcanine and Nidoking were defeated by Mewtwo, leaving Gary confused as to both why he lost and what Pokémon he had just battled.

Gary and Arcanine against Ash and Bayleef

Arcanine next appeared in Extreme Pokémon!, where he used it to compete in the Extreme Pokémon Race. Ash initially thought Gary was mistreating the Pokémon, but after learning that it wasn't hurt, he competed as well, subsequently defeating his rival.

It made another appearance in Can't Beat the Heat! during the Silver Conference against Ash's Snorlax. Although it dodged Snorlax's Body Slam, despite Gary's efforts, Arcanine's Take Down and Fire Spin had minimal effect on Snorlax, who knocked it out with Hyper Beam.

Personality and characteristics

Arcanine is one of the strongest Pokémon in the Gary's team, in his first appearance, he was strong enough to beat an opponent at a disadvantage to type with only a single blow and fast enough to put Gary in a comfortable position in Extreme Pokémon Race even with the many unforeseen events that occurred during the match. Gary appears to have enough confidence in Arcanine even kissing his Poké Ball before sending it into battle.
