Trivia
- Arcanine originally had the name "Blaze".
- Arcanine has the highest base stats of any Pokémon that only evolves once.
- Arcanine has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
- Because of its high stats, its species, and the fact that it was illustrated in an ancient slab along with the Legendary Birds in the second episode, it can be assumed that Arcanine was originally planned to be part of the legendary trio in first generation games, though later dropped for Moltres.
Origin
Arcanine is based on Japanese シーサー shisa, or koma-inu. They are mythical creatures that take inspiration from lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
Name origin
Arcanine's name is a combination of arcane, meaning mysterious, and canine, meaning dog. Windi may refer to wind, because this Pokémon runs like a wind as if it was flying and at great speed.
