In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Gary used Arcanine to compete in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. {{Ash}} initially thought Gary was mistreating the Pokémon, but after learning that it wasn't hurt, he competed as well. Ash decided to compete with his {{AP|Bayleef}}, which proved to be a good choice. During the competition, {{TRT}} tried to catch Arcanine. They failed however, thanks to Ash's intervention and after defeating the trio with the help of Gary, both decided to continue the competition where Ash ultimately defeated Gary with great effort in his first victory over his great rival. | In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Gary used Arcanine to compete in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. {{Ash}} initially thought Gary was mistreating the Pokémon, but after learning that it wasn't hurt, he competed as well.

In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Gary used Arcanine during the second half of his [[Silver Conference]] battle against Ash, where it was pitted against [[Ash's Snorlax]]. Although it dodged Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}, Arcanine's {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} had minimal effect on Snorlax, who then knocked it out with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. | In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Gary used Arcanine during the second half of his [[Silver Conference]] battle against Ash, where it was pitted against [[Ash's Snorlax]].

Arcanine is one of the strongest Pokémon | Arcanine is one of the strongest Pokémon on Gary's team. In its first appearance, it was strong enough to beat an opponent with a type advantage in only three blows. Arcanine was fast enough to put Gary in a comfortable position in the Extreme Pokémon Race even with the many unforeseen events that occurred during the race's duration. Gary appears to have enough confidence in Arcanine that he even kissed his Poké Ball before sending it into battle. In addition, in the Japanese version of its debut episode, Gary refers to Arcanine as being "My honey" (ぼくのハニー), strongly suggesting that it was one of his favorite Pokémon. | ||
