* Choice Scarf Hisuian Arcanine looks to outspeed its biggest threats such as Choice Scarf Volcanion, Spectrier, and Meowscarada, to OHKO them on the first turn.
* Head Smash hits Volcanion, opposing Hisuian Arcanine, and more importantly, hits Volcarona before they can set up a Substitute, since the low accuracy of the move means it's very likely to miss on Choice Band sets, even though there are some niche Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine sets that like to run Rock Blast for this exact reason.
* Raging Fury is preferred over Flare Blitz due to non-recoil related drawback, which helps it nicely against Choice Band Hoopa-U, it can also OHKO Fast Weakness Policy Iron Crown, which Choice Band sets cannot do due to Iron Crown's higher speed which allows it so set up Iron Defense.
* Close Combat is able to hit Chien-Pao, Roaring Moon, and Darkrai.
* Outrage hits Dragapult, Haxorus, and Walking Wake.
* An Adamant nature allows Hisuian Arcanine to pick up more KOs, such as on Fast Weakness Policy Iron Crown, however a Jolly nature allows it to outspeed more threats such as Dragapult and Choice Scarf Hoopa-U.
* Hisuian Arcanine may struggle against Water- and Ground-types like Manaphy, Great Tusk and Donphan, so teammates like Whimsicott and Ogerpon-W make for good partners.

* Head Smash hits Volcanion, opposing Hisuian Arcanine, and more importantly, hits Volcarona before they can set up a Substitute, since the low accuracy of the move means it's highly likely to miss on Choice Band sets. CB HArcs run Rock Blast for this very reason, so idk if that's "more importantly"

(I dont think this last part about rock blast is worth mentioning here.)
* Raging Fury is preferred over Flare Blitz due to non-recoil related drawback, which helps it nicely against Choice Band Hoopa-U, it can also OHKO Fast Weakness Policy Iron Crown, which Choice Band sets cannot do due to Iron Crown's higher speed which allows it so set up Iron Defense.
* Close Combat is able to hit Chien-Pao, Roaring Moon, and Darkrai. (252 Atk Arcanine-Hisui Close Combat vs. 8 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 318-376 (90 - 106.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO and Speed Booster will click substitute on you anyways.)
* Outrage hits Dragon-types such as Dragapult, (rc) and Haxorus, and Walking Wake (252+ Atk Arcanine-Hisui Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Walking Wake: 284-336 (83.7 - 99.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO)
* An Adamant nature allows Hisuian Arcanine to pick up more KOs, such as on Fast Weakness Policy Iron Crown, however a Jolly nature allows it to outspeed more threats such as Dragapult and Choice Scarf Hoopa-U.
* Hisuian Arcanine may struggle against Water- and Ground-types like Manaphy, Great Tusk and Donphan, so teammates like Whimsicott Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W make for good partners. (better example)
