One of the new Regional variants in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a Hisuian variant of the fan-favorite Arcanine. Hisuian Arcanine is different from regular Arcanine primarily in its typing. Hisuian Arcanine is a Fire and Rock-type rather than a sole Fire-type like its original form. Hisuian Arcanine will evolve Hisuian Growlithe (using a Fire Stone).
Hisuian Arcanine is a Fire and Rock-type Pokémon. Its strongest moves will share this typing to benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus), allowing the moves to do increased damage in battle against opponents. The Pokémon's best moves are Double-Edge, Flare Blitz, Raging Fury, and Crunch.
