[SET COMMENTS]
Arcanine carves a niche in the Ubers metagame thanks to its pure mono-Fire typing and its ability in Intimidate, which allows it to check Pokemon like Galarian Darmanitan, Corviknight, and Zacian-C. Flamethrower is prefered over Flare Blitz due to the lack of recoil damage. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers such as Tyranitar, Hippowdon and Excadrill that would otherwise try to switch into Arcanine and beat it. Roar phazes away opposing trappers like Gothitelle, which otherwise trap it and set up freely. Heavy-Duty Boots is the ideal item for Arcanine, as it otherwise gets worn down by entry hazards. Rocky Helmet is an interesting alternative to punish hit-and-run attackers such as Zacian and U-turn users like Corviknight, Galarian Darmanitan, and Mandibuzz. Leftovers could provide passive recovery and neutralizes Sandstorm damage from Tyranitar and Hippowdon, which tend to switch into Arcanine.

Ferrothorn is an ideal partner for Arcanine. as it can switch in on Pokemon like Gyarados and Quagsire and proceed to set entry hazards, which Arcanine can capitalize on with Roar. Tyranitar is able to switch into offensive Eternatus, which can severely threaten Arcanine. Jellicent's immunnity to Fighting- and Water-type moves protects Arcanine from Zamazenta and Dracovish. Corviknight can take care of physical attackers that can beat Arcanine such as Excadrill and Haxorus and provide Defog, which would allow Arcanine to use either Rocky Helmet or Leftovers.

[Nayrz]

deadline is fast approaching, where we at with this JuanchoTacorta

 

[JuanchoTacorta]

This is ready for QC, apologies for taking so long.

 

[Cynara]

Corviknight is one of the ideal defensive partners for Arcanine, due to it being the strongest ground immune matching up really well against the pokemon arcanine struggles against such as Excadrill and one of the most robust defog users, which is something arcanine needs if it does not wear Heavy Duty boots, Helmet should probably be slashed since Arcanine is your main Zacian switch in usually and wants to Punish it. Leftovers should also get a brief mention.

QC: 1/2

 

[Nayrz]

Arcanine functions as one of the best Physical Walls in the metagame

This isn't accurate. Arcanine is a niche option to try and blanket Zacian-C and is generally passed on for better mons like Corviknight, Quagsire, and Hippowdon. Make sure this is accurately represented.

able to check threats Zamazenta, Galarian Darmanitan, Corviknight and the omnipresent Zacian-C.

It's poor vs Zamazenta, CB does upwards of 80% which is the most prominent set.

Roar phazes away opposing sweepers attempting to set-up like Haxorus

Haxorus gets burned if it tries, its not a good idea to set up here. Could replace it with Dugtrio and the sentence runs fine.

Rocky Helmet is an interesting alternative to dent more damage on contact attacks and wear down opposing attackers.

This should be more focused on damaging hit and run attackers. U-turn mons, Zacian hitting and running, etc. Its a way to avoid just passively switching in and having it switch out - it punishes them.

I'll review post changes.

 

[JuanchoTacorta]

Implemented changes, I've tried my best

 

[Nayrz]

I'm not the biggest ferrothorn fan but i suppose it works here... id also suggest something like Corsola or Jellicent to help vs CB Zamazenta and Dracovish for team options though.

implement for QC 2/2

 

[JuanchoTacorta]

Implemented, rewrote removed some lines which implied Arcanine to be better than it actually is

Ferrothorn is an ideal partner for Arcanine, (AC) as it can switch in on Pokemon like Gyarados or and Quagsire and proceed to set entry hazards, which Arcanine can capitalize on with Roar. Arcanine, (AC) in return, (AC) can deal with Corviknight and Zamazenta. Tyranitar is able to switch on into offensive Eternatus, which can severely threaten Arcanine. Jellicent's inmunnities immunity to Fighting-(AH) and Water-type moves protects Arcanine from Zamazenta and Dracovish.
