Did anyone notice that Arcanine is the 'strongest' pokemon in the pokeworld minus the base 600s and legendaries? Its base total is 555! Shouldnt Arcanine and Ninetales share the same stat total as they're fellow version exclusives?

Why do you think Arcanine has such a high total? Maybe because it was intended to be a legendary hence its Dex entry?

Togekiss is next on the list with stat total 545 BTW.

Arcanine is my favorite pokemon...even though he has such a high stat base total. He's not too useful in battle..poor movepool and a disgusting type (Fire..too many common weaknesses).

But I think they made his stat base total higher because he's a "legendary" pokemon...

Really?! I was never aware of that! But unfortunate as a legendary he has been replaced by Entei.

Yes, he was. and Zapdos was only created 1 month beofre the release of the game. Instead, there was supposed to be something like electabuzz instead.

sorry, off topic XD

As much as I'd love to see Arcanine being glorified like that..I'd rather see him with better moves.

well arcanine is awsome but moltres's movepool of fire moves on arcanine would be good

He has good fire type moves...he needs versatility in his movepool. Earthquake, Stone Edge, Grass Knot and an extra 5 points in speed would put Arcanine in OU and he'd be AMAZING!

Arcanine, Electabuzz, and Jynx were going to be the trio for RB but they were replace with the bird trio.

errmm off topic much ?

arcanine is abit boring though it has a easy weakness

That...was the most insulting and degrading comment made towards Arcanine! He's probably one of the best looking pokemon and he has a good surprise factor in UU and rarely in OU...if your opponent never faced one before. But I'm glad that the trio birds have replaced the Arcanine, Electabuzz and Jynx..they look much better as legends.

Arcanine has a proud and yet humble look..he moar than a legend :p

Then you chose the wrong word :p

All of the mono type fire pokemon are like that...too many common weaknesses. Surf, Earthquake, Stealth Rock and Stone Edge are some of the most common moves in the current metagame..and their weak to all of that. Seems like a little too much IMO.

I agree with you that arcanine & ninetails should share the same stat totals, but neither could really take advantage of a total that high because they both have terrible movesets.

ive just realised your the first to comment about that i think

but ninetails is more of a special legend
and arcanine is like a legend with battling i think
so arcanin should have attack defense while nintails should have special of them but both same speed

Actually..Ninetails's move pool is much better than Arcanine's lol. But nah..I want Arcanine to have the upperhand :p
