 :I think it has Legendary status because of all the supposed stories on it.  I believe in the Anime they made references to its "supposed" legendary speed and what not.  Thats really all I can offer. [[User:Xanhawk|Xanhawk]]
+== Trivia: Slaking/Arcanine Average Base Stat Ranking ==
+[[Arcanine (Pokémon)]]'s Trivia section: "Arcanine has the second-highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-pseudo-legendary Pokémon, next to Slaking."
+[[Slaking (Pokémon)]]'s Trivia section: "Slaking has the second highest base stat average of any non-legendary Pokémon."
+[[List of Pokémon by base stats]]'s Table (condensed to relevant non-legendaries):
+Pokemon  Base Average
+Slaking  111.67
+Tyranitar 100.00
+Metagross 100.00
+Dragonite 100.00
+Salamence 100.00
+Garchomp  100.00
+Arcanine  92.50
+There are a number of issues with this.
+Firstly and most obviously is that these trivia notes contradict each other.
+Second is that, arguably, neither of these are true in the first place. Slaking is #1, not #2, and Arcanine is #6 (disregarding "and non-pseudo-legendary Pokémon" in the trivia note) behind Garchomp, Salamence, Dragonite, Metagross, Tryanitar and Slaking but for one thing; Arcanine is a legendary pokemon according to it's pokedex entry, thus #6 should be Togekiss (90.83) given legendaries are excluded and if you also exclude the pseudo-legendaries, #2. (note that when I started writing this I had missed the non-pseudo-legendary part of Arcanine's trivia point but that does not invalidate my point that the trivia regarding to base averages needs to be refined and uniform)
