=====Kanto=====
Arcanine debuted in ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]''. Gary sent it out to battle {{an|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Kingler}} at the [[Viridian City]] [[Viridian Gym|Gym]]. Despite having a type disadvantage, Arcanine came out on top and defeated the {{type|Water}} opponent. However, both his Arcanine and {{p|Nidoking}} were then easily defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, leaving Gary confused as to both why he lost and what kind of Pokémon he had just battled.


====Kanto====
This battle was seen again briefly from Mewtwo's perspective in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

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 ''[[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}}.

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.

Arcanine is shown to help its teammates in battle, as seen in [[JN102]] when it took a {{m|Sheer Cold}} attack meant for [[Horace]]'s {{p|Bayleef}} and saving it from getting knocked out so it would still be helpful in battle.

Gary owns Arcanine in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It appears to be his main Pokémon.
Arcanine appeared in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]'', where Gary used it to try to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. He also used Arcanine to track down {{TRT}} when they stole the Slowpoke. Later, Arcanine battled against Slowpoke, but with little success, eventually being {{status|frozen}} by its {{m|Ice Beam}}.


He is first shown in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]'' where Gary uses it to try to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. When the Slowpoke was taken away by some [[Jessie|mysterious]] [[James|people]], he sends it out to search for the people responsible for stealing the Slowpoke. It was able to find them at the same time Ash did. It was stopped by {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|transforming machines]] when {{MTR}} sprayed water. Despite his efforts Arcanine has had little success in battle. Arcanine continued the search for Team Rocket afterwards. Unlike the last time, Arcanine was able to get to Team Rocket before Ash arrived. {{AP|Pikachu}} was able to find the giant Slowpoke and they find out that this Slowpoke can hypnotize people. Gary has Arcanine battle it to prevent it from hypnotizing people but it had very little success in doing so as Arcanine was stopped by a {{m|Disable}} and was frozen by {{m|Ice Beam}}. Afterwards, it becomes hypnotized along with Gary's other Pokémon.
Arcanine also appeared in ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]'', alongside to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}}.
