Compressing obscene wallbreaking capabilities, cleaning potential, and a partial Fire typing that eases the matchup for its team against Grass- and Steel-types, Hisuian Arcanine is a valuable asset for Rock teams. Flare Blitz OHKOes multiple Steel-types that Rock teams can struggle with, such as Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and, after Stealth Rock, Corviknight and Skarmory. Head Smash hits even harder and is the main option against neutral targets, notably 2HKOing Gliscor, Celesteela, and Skarmory. Extreme Speed mitigates the lacking Speed tier Hisuian Arcanine has, allowing it to revenge kill foes such as Greninja and Barraskewda. Close Combat OHKOes Heatran after Stealth Rock, Ursaluna after minimal chip, and 2HKOes Archaludon, minimizing would-be checks. Choice Scarf can be an alternative option to outspeed and KO foes such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Aerodactyl, and Zeraora, but the lack of damage output and minimal benefit to Extreme Speed makes it more situational. Ogerpon-C can handle the Ground- and Water-types that can easily pressure Hisuian Arcanine such as Hippowdon, Gastrodon, and Swampert. Entry hazards from Shuckle and Mega Diancie can considerably increase Hisuian Arcanine's offensive pressure, with Shuckle's Sticky Web minimizing the reliance on Extreme Speed to outspeed foes, and Stealth Rock from Shuckle or Spikes from Mega Diancie easing KOs on foes. Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder offensively check Fighting-types that check Hisuian Arcanine such as Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Kommo-o.

Compressing Speed control (Speed control isnt correct since its speedtier is meh, replace with Cleaning potential with Espeed?), obscene wallbreaking potential, and a Fire typing that eases the matchup for its team against Grass- and Steel-types, Hisuian Arcanine is a valuable asset for Rock teams. Flare Blitz provides a reliable STAB option that OHKOes multiple Steel-types that Rock teams can struggle dealing with, such as Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and after Stealth Rock, Corviknight and Skarmory.(does Head Smash 2HKO/OHKO Skarm/Celes/Glisc? that would be something cool to mention as it makes those very hard to kill mons gone) Extreme Speed mitigates the lacking Speed tier Hisuian Arcanine has, allowing to revenge kill foes such as Greninja and Barraskewda. Close Combat OHKOes Heatran after Stealth Rock, OHKOes Ursaluna after minimal chip, and 2HKOes Archaludon, minimizing would-be checks. Ogerpon-C can handle the Water-types that can easily pressure Hisuian Arcanine such as Azumarill (Azu nyot that common, want to put something like Hippowdon/Tusky instead?) and Swampert. Entry hazards from Shuckle and Mega Diancie can considerably increase Hisuian Arcanine's offensive pressure, with Shuckle's Sticky Web minimizing the reliance on Extreme Speed to outspeed foes, and Stealth Rock from Shuckle or Spikes from Mega Diancie easing KOs on foes. Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder offensively check Fighting-types that check Hisuian Arcanine such as Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Kommo-o. Choice Scarf can be an alternative item option to ease outspeeding, but the lack of damage output and minimal benefit to Extreme Speed makes it more situational. (Put this before mentioning the team mates)

Choice Scarf can be an alternative item option to ease outspeeding ("ease outspeeding" is very vague, would be preferable if you mentioned specific targets that Arcanine outspeeds w the scarf), but the lack of damage output and minimal benefit to Extreme Speed makes it more situational. Ogerpon-C can handle the Ground- and Water-types that can easily pressure Hisuian Arcanine such as Hippowdon, Gastrodon, and Swampert.
