Arcanine next appearance was in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', where he used it 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 decides to compete with his {{AP|Bayleef}}, which proved a good choice. During the competition, {{TRT}} tries to catch Arcanine. They failed however, thanks to Ash's intervention and after defeating the trio with the help of Gary, both decide to continue the competition where Ash defeats Gary with great effort in his first victory over his great rival.

Arcanine made another appearance in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' during the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Ash's Snorlax]], Gary uses it during the beginning of the second half of the battle after having used {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} in the previous round of battles. Although it dodged Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}, despite Gary's efforts, Arcanine's {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} had minimal effect on Snorlax, who knocked it out with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
