Trivia

Blaine's Arcanine was the first Pokémon in the TCG to have an attack with a base damage of over 100. It may have been made as a counter of sorts to Base Set's Charizard, which had the same HP as this attack's base damage (120).

Origin

Gym Leader Blaine owns an Arcanine in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
