Arcanine (Japanese: ウインディ Windie) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone.
In Hisui, Arcanine has a dual-type Fire/Rock regional form. It evolves from Hisuian Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone.
Biology
Arcanine is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon with an orange pelt marked by jagged black stripes. It has diamond-shaped ears with beige insides, black eyes, a round, black nose, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Its head, muzzle, and chest are covered in shaggy, beige fur, except for two oval sections around each eye and ear. Long tufts of fur grow behind its elbows and around its ankles. Its underside is black, and it has a billowing, beige tail that is bent in the middle. Each paw has three toes and a round, pink pad.
Arcanine is a fiercely brave and loyal Pokémon. It is capable of running 6,200 miles in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. In Generation II, Extreme Speed was its signature move. Arcanine has long been admired for its beauty and speed, and anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. The source of its power is a flame blazing wildly inside its body. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Arcanine is rarely found in the wild, but when found, it is usually seen living in prairies, and Pokémon Snap has also shown it living in active volcanoes. In the anime, it was shown that it stashes food in its mane and carries it to its nest for its young. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Arcanine is known to sleep at supremely comfortable sleeping spot.[1] Arcanine when it sleeps is said to be similar to how an innocent child sleeps.
Forms
Arcanine has a regional form: Hisuian Arcanine.
In Hisui, Arcanine has a different look due to the volcanic activity of the environment it lives in. Its body fur is red-orange while its muzzle, mane, tail, eyebrows, and tufts of fur behind its elbows and around its ankles are gray, and the insides of its ears are light gray. The gray fur is made out of igneous rock components. Its cheek mane, ankle fur, and tail form into curls. Its elbow fur resemble wings. It has a large horn in the center of its head and three small horns between its head and ears. Its mane form into curled clumps at the back of its neck and large rectangular clumps on the sides and bottom of its neck. The rectangular clumps have light red-orange markings on them.
Hisuian Arcanine uses its fangs while engulfed in flames to snap at foes. Despite how deceivingly bulky Hisuian Arcanine is, it moves around nimbly like a dancer. This allows it to lead opponents in a merry chase while avoiding them at the same time. It lives in coastal mountainsides.
A special Hisuian Arcanine is worshipped by the Hisui people due to him being descended from one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from Arceus. He is one of the noble Pokémon who resides in Cobalt Coastlands watched by a Warden.
Evolution
Arcanine evolves from Growlithe.
Hisuian Arcanine evolves from Hisuian Growlithe.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)
Game data
NPC appearances

Later on, the son evolved and took his father's place as a Noble Pokémon. Both are descendants of the Arcanine that the Ancient hero befriended ages ago. They were beloved by the people of the Hisui region along with the other Noble and Ride Pokémon.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Arcanine was originally known as Blaze.
- Despite the Pokémon category name, Arcanine is not an actual Legendary Pokémon. It is the only Pokémon species to have "Legendary Pokémon" as the Pokémon category.
- However, Arcanine was seen in an engraving along with legendary birds Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos in Pokémon Emergency!.
- Many of Arcanine's Pokédex entries—starting with the one in the Japanese Pokémon Red—reference the real world, specifically China.
- Arcanine and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon with a male-female ratio of 3:1 that aren't in the Human-Like Egg Group.
- Hisuian Arcanine and its pre-evolved form were designed by Megumi Mizutani.[2]
- In Pokémon Legends: Arceus's internal code, Hisuian Arcanine's Hidden Ability is Justified instead of Rock Head.
Origin
Arcanine may be based on the Ryukyuan シーサー shisa, or 狛犬 komainu, mythical creatures that resemble a mix between lions and dogs. Given its earliest Pokédex entries state it's from China, however, it may more precisely derive from the 獅 Chinese guardian lion. Statues of komainu in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. Its stripes and coloration are reminiscent of tigers. It could also be based on the xiezhi, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers. It may also draw inspiration from dogs with brindle ("tiger-striped") coat patterns, such as the 甲斐犬 Kai Ken.
In its Hisuian Form, its Rock typing and appearance may be based on the komainu statues. Its ankle fur and tail resemble plumes of smoke.
Name origin
Arcanine may be a combination of arcane and canine.
Windie may refer to wind or windy, reflecting its defining nature of being fast like the wind, further emphasized by Extreme Speed being its signature move in Generation II.
