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.

Biology

Arcanine is a quadruped, 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 (10,000 kilometers) in 24 hours with a speed and grace reminiscent of flight. Additionally, the move Extreme Speed was its signature move in the past. 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.

In On Cloud Arcanine, Drew and May wanted to catch an Arcanine for use in a Pokémon Contest. When it was discovered that it had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take care of, the two decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In Tactics Theatrics!!, Tucker owns an Arcanine. Nicknamed the "Fiery Fleet-Footed" Arcanine, it was used along with a Swampert to battle Ash and his Swellow and Corphish at the Battle Dome. Both of Tucker's Pokémon were eventually defeated after a hard-fought battle.

In flashbacks in Keeping In Top Forme!, Marley used an Arcanine when she was first attacked by Team Rocket, in order to send them blasting off. Later, she used Arcanine to escape when she was confronted by them again.

Trivia

File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png
Engravings of "Legendary Pokémon" Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and Arcanine in EP002

Origin

Arcanine is based on the Ryukyuan シーサー shisa, or 狛犬 komainu, mythical creatures inspired by lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. It could also be based on the Xiezhi, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers.

Name origin

Arcanine is a combination of arcane and canine. It may also derive from arson, given its Fire-typing.

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.
