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}}. However, both his Arcanine and {{p|Nidoking}} were then defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, leaving Gary confused as to both why he lost and what kind of Pokémon he had just battled. | Arcanine debuted in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

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 ''[[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.

Arcanine is one of the strongest Pokémon in 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 one of the strongest Pokémon in Gary's team.
