In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Gary used Arcanine 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 {{AP|Bayleef}}, which proved to be a good choice. During the competition, {{TRT}} 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 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. In addition, in the Japanese version of its debut episode, Gary refers to Arcanine as being "My honey" (ぼくのハニー), strongly suggesting that it was one of his favorite Pokémon.

Original series

Arcanine in the original series
Kanto

Arcanine debuted in The Battle Of The Badge. Gary sent it out to battle Giovanni's Kingler at the Viridian City Gym. Despite having a type disadvantage, Arcanine came out on top and defeated the Water-type opponent. However, both his Arcanine and Nidoking were then easily defeated by Mewtwo, leaving Gary confused as to both why he lost and what kind of Pokémon he had just battled.

This battle was seen again briefly from Mewtwo's perspective in Mewtwo Strikes Back and its remake Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution.

In Extreme Pokémon!, Gary used Arcanine 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.

In Can't Beat the Heat!, Gary used Arcanine during the second half of his Silver Conference battle against Ash, where it was pitted against Ash's Snorlax. Although it dodged Snorlax's Body Slam, Arcanine's Take Down and Fire Spin had minimal effect on Snorlax, who then knocked it out with Hyper Beam.

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

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Battling in the Freezing Raid!, Gary was revealed to have recalled Arcanine to his team. He used it as his third Pokémon during his Raid Battle against an Articuno, but despite landing some powerful hits, it was eventually defeated by a Sheer Cold.
