Arcanine (Japanese: ウインディ Windie) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone.

Biology

Arcanine is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon with an orange pelt marked by jagged black stripes. It has diamond-shaped ears with beige insides, black eyes, a round, black nose, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Its head, muzzle, and chest are covered in shaggy, beige fur, except for two oval sections around each eye and ear. Long tufts of fur grow behind its elbows and around its ankles. Its underside is black, and it has a billowing, beige tail that is bent in the middle. Each paw has three toes and a round, pink pad.

Arcanine is a fiercely brave and loyal Pokémon. It is capable of running 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers) in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. Additionally, the move Extreme Speed was its signature move in the past. Arcanine has long been admired for its beauty and speed, and anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. The source of its power is a flame blazing wildly inside its body. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Arcanine is rarely found in the wild, but when found, it is usually seen living in prairies, and Pokémon Snap has also shown it living in active volcanoes. In the anime, it was shown that it stashes food in its mane and carries it to its nest for its young.

Major appearances

Gary's Arcanine

Gary has an Arcanine that debuted in The Battle of the Badge, where it faced off against Giovanni in a Gym battle. Gary later used Arcanine to help him in the Extreme Pokémon Race in Extreme Pokémon!, during which it competed against Ash's Bayleef.

Other

In Fire and Ice, Pete Pebbleman used an Arcanine during his battle against Ash. Despite the type disadvantage, Arcanine easily defeated Kingler by dodging its Bubble attack and using Dragon Rage. Pikachu then managed to defeat the Arcanine with Thunderbolt after its Fire Blast melted the Ice Field.

In The Stolen Stones, Keegan owned an Arcanine, while Ramona owned two others. Keegan's Arcanine was nicknamed Arcky. The Fire-type Pokémon were used to deliver some Fire Stones that were meant to be used as prizes for a local Fire Pokémon tournament. Keegan and Ramona later used their Arcanine to save Ash, Misty, and Brock from falling off a cliff.

In On Cloud Arcanine, Drew and May wanted to catch an Arcanine for use in a Pokémon Contest. When it was discovered that it had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take care of, the two decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In Tactics Theatrics!!, Tucker owns an Arcanine. Nicknamed the "Fiery Fleet-Footed" Arcanine, it was used along with a Swampert to battle Ash and his Swellow and Corphish at the Battle Dome. Both of Tucker's Pokémon were eventually defeated after a hard-fought battle.

In flashbacks in Keeping In Top Forme!, Marley used an Arcanine when she was first attacked by Team Rocket, in order to send them blasting off. Later, she used Arcanine to escape when she was confronted by them again.

Minor appearances

An Arcanine appeared in the Japanese credits of Pikachu's Rescue Adventure.

Trivia

 
Engravings of "Legendary Pokémon" Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and Arcanine in Pokémon Emergency!
  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Arcanine was originally known as Blaze.
  • Despite the Pokémon category name, Arcanine is not an actual Legendary Pokémon. It is the only Pokémon species to have "Legendary Pokémon" as the Pokémon category.
    • However, Arcanine was seen in an engraving along with Legendary birds Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos in Pokémon Emergency!.
  • Many of Arcanine's Pokédex entries—starting with the one in the Japanese Pokémon Red—reference the real world, specifically China.
  • Arcanine and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon with a male-female ratio of 3:1 that aren't in the Human-Like Egg Group.

Origin

Arcanine may be based on the Ryukyuan シーサー shisa, or 狛犬 komainu, mythical creatures that resemble a mix between lions and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good characters and repel evil ones. Its stripes and coloration are reminiscent of tigers. It could also be based on the Xiezhi, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers. It may also draw inspiration from dogs with brindle ("tiger-striped") coat patterns, such as the 甲斐犬 Kai Ken.

Name origin

Arcanine may be a combination of arcane and canine. It may also derive from arson, given its Fire-typing.

Windie may refer to wind or windy, reflecting its defining nature of being fast like the wind, further emphasized by Extreme Speed being its signature move in Generation II.
