I never had an Arcanine. Am I missing something?

Yes, he's pretty broken in game. It's almost like a legendary you get mid game akin to Gyarados.

It's my fave pokemon of them all, but I've used it so much I now refuse to catch growlithes to give other fire mons a chance.
It's a jack of all trades pokemon so you never regret carrying it through the game, but at the same time you can find better candidates for literally every role so it's hard to use it against people.

They’re fine.
Some faggots get obsessed about them though, almost to the same extent as the eevee shitters. And I do mean Faggots - most of them are gay or women into dog cock

You're not missing anything. It's just a slightly better Flareon.

90 base power
barely above average for moves without downsides, and embarassingly bad for moves with some kind of downside

Recoil moves are shit anyway. I dunno whether I'd like 120bp with half recoil vs 90bp with quarter recoil.
Not like you're gonna use Arcanine competitively anyway, for pve you might as well run crunch, flamethrower, extreme speed and whatever you can get in the gen you're playing.

Arcanine is pretty based, it can cross over 6,200 miles (9 977 km). Which makes it cheap and very reliable vehicle for transport.

Nah, Arcanine is actually pretty innocent when it comes to these posts.

in fact that's a better example of you just know because vaporeon tends to be the one that gets fucked, not the white woman

Have you actually used the fox? It's the best fire type in gen 1.
>Higher speed than both arcanine and the zard=more crithax
>Highest special out all fire types=more damage given and less taken. only moltres surpasses it
>Has more or less the same movepool/tm list but learns everything much earlier, either waste fire blast tm or enjoy raising growlithe to LVL 50. Confuse ray+fire spin is a decent cheese strat.
>Which btw enjoy grinding out growlithe who's exp growth rate is in the "slow" level curve vs "medium fast" for the fox

I like arcanine but it's just a slower rapidash/lesser flareon and all his unga bunga attacks come from TMs that are better put to use for any normal type

DO YOUR RESEARCH before getting one. They may look beautiful, but they are one of the highest maintenance dogmons on the market. They have a ton of energy and will destroy your things if you don't give them enough daily exercise, and as a result many owners will wind up abandoning theirs within a few years. Consider adopting an adult from a shelter instead of paying a breeder for a Growlithe.

it's garbage in gens 1-3 due to lower special attack on top of a lack of decent moves outside of tms you'd rather stockpile or spend on other pokemon, gen 4 it still has move struggles, picks up in gen 5 onwards with reusable tms, and in gen 8 onwards you can give it tons of good moves via move reminder so it's very good

Unfortunately seems that the Hisuian version does this set better(Head Smash replacing Wild Charge) as it gets the Rock Head ability and higher attack. The Kanto version would be more suited for a support role due to better defensive typing.
Still a decent set in prior gens

Just because it does it better doesn't mean Kanto can't. I've been running that set since gen 4 and pretty well in OUs. He's pretty decent as a lead and can break through most walls.

I made a mixed attacker for Battle Spot or whatever it was in SM. Gave it enough speed to outrun uninvented +nature base 100s, maxed special attack, and the rest in regular attack. Power Herb to hold with moves Solarbeam, Burn Up, Extremespeed, and I think Crunch or Play Rough. It was fun watching the connection errors from salty japs after a surprise kill or when a water/ground/rock attack would hit neutrally
