For anyone who didn't opt for Charmander in the Generation One games, Arcanine is probably not a Pokémon you've overlooked for years. If you're a member of the gigantic Charizard fan club, however, then you probably haven't experienced the benefits of this Fire type.

Arcanine is quick as a base model and it has a much better HP capacity than Charizard's, making it able to hold its own over long battles. If you can get one with the ability Flash Fire, then you'll be making Arcanine even more superior against most other Fire types. You'll also see its Fire type moves become 50% stronger for the remainder of a battle where the ability is active.

And who doesn't enjoy watching their enemies burned to a crisp, eh?

Suggested Moveset:
Fire Fang
Flamethrower
Bite
Extremespeed
