Growlithe (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

* Growlithe can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Vulpix}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} into their evolved forms. Vulpix is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]]/[[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] while Growlithe is to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], Growlithe has a 75% chance of being male while Vulpix has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Field}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their Ability, are based on canines (Growlithe being a dog, Vulpix being a fox), and both changed their [[Shiny Pokémon|alternate coloration]] to yellow in [[Generation III]]. Both are based on animals of Japanese folklore, Vulpix being based on the ''{{wp|Kitsune}}'' and Growlithe being based on the ''{{wp|Shisa}}''.
