Arcanine is a Fire-type Pokémon lauded for its majestic, canine-like appearance. Its beauty and strength have earned it the nickname of the "Legendary Pokémon," even though it doesn't classify as a true Legendary Pokémon according to game mechanics. Arcanine evolves from Growlithe when a Fire Stone is utilized.

Abilities:
- Intimidate: This ability minimizes the Attack stat of the rival Pokémon as soon as the battle commences, aiding in the management of physical attackers.

- Hidden Ability (Justified): This ability boosts Arcanine's Attack stat up a notch whenever it's hit by a Dark-type move, prompting clever strategies to augment its strength.
Interesting Facts:
- Design and Inspiration: Arcanine carries the resemblance of an imposing dog adorned with tiger-like stripes, masterfully merging elements of both species for a unique aesthetic appeal.
