Arcanine is one of the strongest Pokémon in Gary's team. In its first appearance, it was strong enough to beat an opponent with a type advantage in only three blows. Arcanine was fast enough to put Gary in a comfortable position in the Extreme Pokémon Race even with the many unforeseen events that occurred during the race's duration. Gary appears to have enough confidence in Arcanine that he even kissed his Poké Ball before sending it into battle.

History

Kanto

Arcanine and Gary

Arcanine's 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 Water-type. 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.

This battle was seen again briefly from Mewtwo's perspective in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Johto

Arcanine's next appearance was 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. Ash decided to compete with his Bayleef, which proved to be a good choice. During the competition, Team Rocket tried to catch Arcanine. They failed however, thanks to Ash's intervention and after defeating the trio with the help of Gary, both decided to continue the competition where Ash ultimately defeated Gary with great effort in his first victory over his great rival.

Arcanine then appeared as a Pokémon displayed in Gary's profile when Ash researched about Gary in The Ties That Bind!.

Arcanine made another appearance in Can't Beat the Heat! during the Silver Conference in Gary's battle against Ash. It was pitted against Ash's Snorlax. Gary used it during the beginning of the second half of the battle after having used Blastoise in the previous round of battles. Although it dodged Snorlax's Body Slam, despite Gary's efforts, Arcanine's Take Down and Fire Spin had minimal effect on Snorlax, who then knocked it out with Hyper Beam and attempting to stand up.

After he decided to become a Pokémon Researcher, Gary left his Arcanine along with most of his other Pokémon with his grandfather.
