Personality and characteristics

Growlithe as a puppy

Growlithe are very loyal towards each Officer Jenny, as shown in a flashback in their debut episode depicting one of the Growlithe as a puppy.

Growlithe are the signature Pokémon of the Officer Jennys working in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions, but they will sometimes use different Pokémon. The Officer Jenny in Mutiny in the Bounty! used Growlithe's evolved form, Arcanine. In some parts of the world, police forces will have special Pokémon teams, such as Spinarak in Spinarak Attack. The Officer Jennys of other regions use different Pokémon as Growlithe are not generally found there.
