Arcanine
Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Growlithe League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
Extra movement speed and nearby charm help Growlithe create openings for its Fire and charge attacks. Arcanine's chained-charge Ultimate adds broad pressure and a strong finishing ring.
Trade-off: The kit rewards moving through danger, and its passive does not supply recovery.
Passive: Loyal Guardian
Ultimate progression: Loyal Charge / Legendary Speed
Curated kit: Fire Fang (Lv. 1) · Flame Wheel (Lv. 2) · Extreme Speed (Lv. 4) · Flare Blitz (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.

When the Pokémon enters a battle, it intimidates opposing Pokémon and makes them cower, lowering their Attack stats.

When the Pokémon is hit by a Dark-type attack, its Attack stat is boosted by its sense of justice.
