Trivia
- Although its species is known as the "Legendary Pokémon", it is not a Legendary Pokémon.
- Arcanine's prototype name was "Blaze."
- Several of Arcanine's Pokédex entries state that it is seen in China and is depicted in Chinese legends, showing that there are similarities in regions with the real world and Pokémon world.
- However, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, this is simply changing to "the East".
- China is also referenced in Parasect's Pokedex entries for Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon FireRed.
- Arcanine's early design had wings and no stripes.
- The anime shows that arcanine can store food in its mane to feed to its pups.
- Arcanine is similar to Ninetales as both are fire types who evolve with fire stones.
- Arcanine is offered as a gift Pokémon for those playing Let's Go Eevee after they have caught 5 Meowth. The inverse happens with Persian and Growlithe in Let's Go Pikachu.
- Despite many Pokédex entries saying that it is extremely fast, its speed is not its most pronounced stat.
Origin
Due to its slightly lion-like appearance, Arcanine is likely based on the Shisa, a traditional Ryukyuan decoration from Okinawan mythology that resembles a cross between a lion and a dog. It may also be inspired by the Haetae, a fire-eating dog in Japanese mythology that has the appearance of a lion. Its stripes and overall coloration are based on tigers.
Etymology
Arcanine comes from a combination of the words "arcane", meaning ancient and mysterious, and "canine".
