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