There's so many things wrong with that scene
You have bretty good taste in pokes OP.
Also happy birthday
Would it be hard to raise a arcanine?
Who else's hoping Arcanine will finally get a mega in SM?
Arcanine needs a mega desperately.
>Fire/electric with drought or an ability that activates magnet rise
>>27104008
If they make Mega Arcanine, I hope it just stays pure Fire. There aren't any types you could add to it that wouldn't drastically change its design or just make it worse. And it for sure doesn't deserve to get the muh Fairy treatment.
>>27104072
Same. Something akin to this seems best to me.
>>27104072
I just want him to be part electric to get stab from wild charge. And drought would help him gain more health with morning sun while increasing flare blitz power
>>27104137
No doubt it has banefits, but... well, I guess with Fire/Electric the stripes could become blue zigzags, and the fluffy mane could have static sparks... Might be cool.
Drought seems like whatever, though. We already have a Mega Fire-type with Drought.
>no bara arcanine
Anyways happy birthday OP
Best dog poke.
Mega Arcanine will get Fur Coat.
>>27103981
Me...it's my dream.
I was thinking of him being Fire/Dragon and his ability is a fire version of Aerialite or Refrigerate.
imagine Extreme Speed STAB or Outrage STAB.
>>27098621
Whats the best way to use arcanine competative?
>>27104410
Giving Arcanine an -ate ability would make him so broken it'll make Talonflame look like a shitmon.
Fire stab +2 priority that gets boosted by 30% from 110 (+ all additional points the mega evolution gives him) attack.
Sounds like something GF would do.
I still like the Fire/Dragon thing, though. Sticks to the whole Chinese theme.
>>27104506
Exactly.
>>27104456
Either
Arcanine @ Life Orb/Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate / Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 atk / 252 spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- ExtremeSpeed
- Close Combat
- Wild Charge / Crunch
or
Arcanine @ Rocky helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extremespeed
- Will-O-Wisp
- Morning Sun
Depends on if you need a physical tank or a good physical damage dealer. The first set is slightly outclassed by Entei however. It has better coverage but worse STAB (Sacred Fire > Flare Blitz)
For VGC/Doubles there is this:
Arcanine @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Def / 124 SpA / 4 SpD / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
- Overheat
- Will-O-Wisp
- Snarl
- Protect
Great partner for Mega Garde as it's cabable of outspeeding and one-shotting Bisharp, though I believe he's kinda irrelevant for '16.
Happy Birthday, OP!!
>>27104072
should be Fire/Fire
>>27098621
blep
>>27104725
I ran this Arcanine last year and it worked okay. I live in a shithole and go to tournaments and such isn't possible, but ranked battles and others events counts a little I guess.
Arcanine @ Leftovers
Intimidate
220 HP, 244 Def, 44 SDef
Bold Nature
- Heat Wave
- Will-O-Wisp
- Morning Sun
- Helping Hand
It was able to stop dangerous foes alone, and when it was about to kick the can, a last second Helping Hand could net you a KO that otherwise you'll be unable to get.
CB Intimidate is legit in doubles too, since everyone expects Tank or Support; but sadly, yes, is irrelevant this year, but is funny to think that Vanilla Charizard is getting some use.
Happy Birthday OP!
>>27105054
Ye, that looks pretty good, too. I think I've seen a team get second place in some national for this vgc with a CB Arcanine. It was a RayOgre team that run Ludicolo as well. Really wish there was any videos of it in action.
Arcanine's my favorite pokemon too. I'm with the anon up there, I really want him to get a mega that's fire/electric, but I realize that it doesn't make much sense all things considered.
Happy birthday anon!
[Spoiler]You miss your dog, don't you anon?[/spoiler]
FLUFF!
>>27098621
Happy birthday qtpie
I don't have any images of arcanine though.
>>27098621
Happy birthday, OP~
>>27106953
They're in the living room eating right now.
You cry if you want to, OP; it's your birthday.
We could easily get this thread to image limit for best doge.
Arcanine is for snug.
Please do not rekt Arcanine.
>>27098621
It's not your birthday you fucking idiot, it's my friend Matt's birthday
>>27108406
But what if OP IS your friend, anon
>>27108428
Mistakes were made.

>probably bigger than a fist when unengorged
pretty but nah
>>27110244
Bigger, imo.
>nah
As if. it'd be gorgeous.
>>27110295
>it'd be gorgeous.
definitely! hence 'pretty'
But it would likely be too large to safely take.
>>27098621
Wow. This is big for birthday thread. Hope you had a good one, OP.
>>27110389imagine it bobbing up and down with each step
And yeah, I'm not into the cartoony logic of infinite stretching, so taking it would be out of the question..but there's a few other options available that are equally enticing.
