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.

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 and/or tiger. It's stripes and overall coloration are based on tigers.

Etymology

Arcanine comes from a combination of the words "arcane", meaning ancient and mysterious, and "canine".
