Quoted By:
Arcanine is one of the classic Pokémon and beloved by many. While it is known as the Legendary Pokémon, it doesn't quite live up to its name. That's not to say that Arcanine is a bad Pokémon. Its stats are really good with its weakest stats being both defences at a reasonable 80. It has decent Attack and fairly decent Special Attack too, meaning you can run it in any way you wish, and while its Speed is lower than other Pokémon it may face. While it is weak to Stealth Rock, it can run many different sets and is a very versatile Pokémon.
Positives
+It has decent attack stats, both Attack and Special Attack.
+It is rather versatile. It can be an attacker, a wall or anything you want
+It has a fantastic physical movepool and decent abilities to match
+Its three abilities can all be used brilliantly on Arcanine
+It's just generally awesome.
Negatives
-Its defences are rather mediocre
-It hasn't changed much from Generation V
-Its Special movepool is rather inadequate
-Base 95 Speed is good, but could have been better. A boost like other Pokémon got in X & Y would have been lovely for Arcanine, but alas.
