Arcanine have the abilities Flash Fire or Intimidate. Flash Fire activates when the user is hit with a fire-type move, allowing the user to become immune to fire damage, and raise the damage on any of its fire-type attacks.

Arcanine and its Growlithe pups

Anime

Trivia

  • Although its species is known as the "Legendary Pokémon", it is not a Legendary Pokémon.
    • This is also shown in the second episode of the anime where Arcanine is should on a plaque containing the legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos & Moltres.
  • Arcanine's prototype name was "Blaze."
  • The Yellow Pokédex entry states that Arcanine is seen in China, showing that there are similarities in regions with the real world and Pokémon world.
    • China is also referenced in one of Parasect's Pokedex entries.
  • 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 lets 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".
