Arcanine can use its powerful Fire-type STAB moves against many top threats in the metagame such as non-Occa Berry Whimsicott, Galarian Darmanitan, and Corviknight. In addition to this, its fantastic ability in Intimidate makes its good physical bulk better, allowing it to even face foes that can hit it super effectively such as Haxorus and Choice Scarf Excadrill. Flare Blitz is Arcanine's STAB move of choice, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon such as Rillaboom and Excadrill. Close Combat can help with handling and OHKOing Normal-, Rock-, and Dark-types such as Choice Specs Porygon-Z, Tyranitar, and non-Choice Specs Hydreigon, while Play Rough lets you OHKO Urshifu-S while still being able to OHKO non-Choice Specs Hydreigon. Outrage is useful for the plethora of Dragon-types in 1v1 such as Haxorus, Dracovish, and Dragapult, assuming they aren't holding a Haban Berry. Extreme Speed gives Arcanine a guaranteed matchup against Choice Scarf Togekiss as Arcanine 3HKOes with priority whilst Togekiss can only 3HKO back but lacks priority itself. Wild Charge can also be used for a better matchup against non-bulky Gyarados. The given HP and Special Defense investment allows Arcanine to avoid the OHKO from Timid Choice Specs Dragapult's Draco Meteor. The given Speed investment outspeeds Timid Choice Specs Porygon-Z. You can also use a simple spread with maximum Attack and Speed investment, which lets you OHKO non-bulky Urshifu-S with Close Combat at the cost of the Choice Specs Dragapult matchup.

Water-types like bulky Assault Vest or Chilan Berry Primarina or Life Orb or Wacan Berry Azumarill are great teammates due to their great coverage against Rock- and Ground-types like Crustle and Rhyperior. In return, Arcanine covers for Grass-types such as Rillaboom, Celebi and non-Occa Berry Whimsicott. In addition to this, Grass-types such as Rillaboom cover Arcanine's weaknesses in Rock-, Ground- and Water-types such as Rhyperior and Gastrodon, and Arcanine in return covers for some of their weaknesses such as Bug-types like Durant and certain opposing Grass-types like Venusaur.

Arcanine uses its mono-Fire typing to utilize powerful STAB moves against many top threats in the meta such as Jirachi, Darmanitan-Galar and Corviknight. In addition to this, this typing paired with the fantastic ability Intimidate provides very good physical bulk even against some opponents that can hit it super effectively likesuch as Haxorus and Excadrill. Flare Blitz is Arcanine's STAB move of choice, allowing Arcanine to OHKO Pokemon such as Jirachi and Mimikyu after breaking Disguise you already mentioned rachi so swap that out and arcanine is not a reliable Mimi counter so I suggest clarifying that it only checks offensive Mimi variants. Close Combat can help with handling Rock-types that are OHKO'd in one hit such as Tyranitar and Non-Choice Specs Hydreigon (though suffering defense and special defense drops when not OHKOing), whilst Wild Charge is similarly useful for non-bulky Gyarados (although its comparatively low base power and lack of STAB may struggle to OHKO especially bulky variants). Outrage is useful for the plethora of Dragon-types in the meta such as Haxorus, Hydreigonspecs often runs pump and cc is always the better option anyways so find a better example and Dragapult assuming they aren't Haban Berry. Extreme Speed gives a guaranteed matchup against Choice Scarf Togekiss as Arcanine 3HKOs with priority whilst Togekiss can only 3HKO Back. The given HP investment allows Arcanine to avoid the OHKO from Adamant Choice Band Haxorus with Earthquake and Timid Choice Specs Dragapult with Draco Meteor. The given Speed investment outspeeds Adamant Excadrill and the rest is dumped into Attack.

Bulky Water-types like Bulky Mystic Water Primarina are great teammates due to their great coverage of Rock- and Ground-types like Crustle and Rhyperior. In return, Arcanine covers Grass-types such as Celebi and non-Occa Berry Whimsicott. In addition to this, Grass-types themselves cover Arcanine's weaknesses in Rock-, Ground- and Water-types and Arcanine in return cover some of Grass' weaknesses in Bug- and Ice-types.provide examples for grass-type teammates and possibly what arcanine helps check

Arcanine uses its mono-Fire typing to utilize powerful STAB moves against many top threats in the meta such as Whimsicott, Darmanitan-Galar you lose band, at the very least add "Scarf" before it and Corviknight. In addition to this, this typing paired with the fantastic ability Intimidate provides very good physical bulk even against some opponents that can hit it super effectively such as Haxorus and Excadrill this only against jolly scarf and ada LO, all other sets just kill you. Flare Blitz is Arcanine's STAB move of choice, allowing Arcanine to OHKO Pokemon such as Excadrill and Rillaboom. Close Combat can help with handling Rock- and Dark-types that are OHKO'd such as Tyranitar, and Non-Choice Specs Hydreigon and Incineroar, whilst Wild Charge is similarly useful for non-bulky you beat even wacan berry so dw about mentioning that Gyarados. Outrage is useful for the plethora of Dragon-types in the meta such as Haxorus, Choice Band Dracovish and Dragapult, assuming they aren't Haban Berry. Mention Play Rough if you add it (sacrifices vish MU but beats kommoo hydreigon and other habans) .Extreme Speed gives a guaranteed matchup against Choice Scarf Togekiss as Arcanine 3HKOs with priority whilst Togekiss can only 3HKO Back. The given HP investment allows Arcanine to avoid the OHKO from Adamant Choice Band Haxorus with Earthquake and Timid Choice Specs Dragapult with Draco Meteor that's a roll and Dragapult runs Hydro Pump on that set anyway. Mention Scarf DarmG instead. The given Speed investment outspeeds Adamant Excadrill and the rest is dumped into Attack.

Water-types like Bulky Mystic Water Primarina add more than one example pls are great teammates due to their great coverage of Rock- and Ground-types like Crustle and Rhyperior. In return, Arcanine covers Grass-types such as Celebi and non-Occa Berry Whimsicott. In addition to this, Grass-types such as Rillaboom and Whimsicott more examples better cover Arcanine's weaknesses in Rock-, Ground- and Water-types such as? and Arcanine in return covers some of Grass' weaknesses in Bug- and Ice-types like Durant and Darmanitan-Galar

evs: 224 HP / 84 Atk / 200 Spe 8 HP / 152 Atk / 132 SpD / 216 Spe so a bit of a change: This gives Arcanine 308 speed, letting it outspeed and OHKO specs pz, plus tanking specs dragapult

Outrage is useful for the plethora of Dragon-types in the meta such as Haxorus, Dracovish and Dragapult, assuming they aren't Haban Berry. Extreme Speed gives a guaranteed matchup against Choice Scarf Togekiss as Arcanine 3HKOs with priority whilst Togekiss can only 3HKO Back. The given HP investment allows Arcanine to avoid the OHKO from Adamant Choice Band Haxorus with Earthquake and Timid Choice Specs Dragapult with Draco Meteor. The given Speed investment outspeeds Adamant Excadrill Timid Choice Specs Porygon-Z, and the rest is dumped into Attack. Mention as alternative evs a simple 252/252 spread - this lets you OHKO Urshifu-S with Close Combat, meaning you don't need Play Rough

Water-types like Bulky Mystic Water Primarina are great teammates due to their great coverage of Rock- and Ground-types like Crustle and Rhyperior. In return, Arcanine covers Grass-types such as Celebi and non-Occa Berry Whimsicott.

In addition to this, this typing paired with the its fantastic ability in Intimidate provides very makes its good physical bulk even against some opponents better, allowing it to even face foes that can hit it super effectively such as Haxorus and Choice Scarf Excadrill (typing has nothing to do with improving physical bulk).
