I decided to make a thread for some Arcanine sets, guides to using him etc..

People overlook him as possible team member because of his smaller than normal movepool, but he does have some great stats, which I think can be worked from.

I'm at school, so I can post up Exported sets, I can still post some stuff here though, then I gotta get back to class >_>.

Okay, Here's one I like::

Arcanine: Flamethrower/Extremespeed/Roar/Crunch or HP Ice
He's an unexpected Roarer, most people will continue to stat up against him, FT for STAB, ES because it's cool, and Crunch was just because it's his strongest other move, HP Ice is cool though.

Here's one based off MewthreeXL's suggestion in the Smeargle thread::

Arcanine: Overheat/Toxic/Extremespeed/FILLER, possibly HP Fighting.
Great counter to Smeargle's, since most people are gonna try to get there Smeargle out of there, you Toxic whoever comes in.
Metagross? Overheat him please ;).
Tyranitar you say? HP Fighting is cool like that.
Extremespeed is a nice way of saying I don't need TTar to kill Revvrers.


I'm sure there is more to him, I'll check it out when I get home.

Post your sets about him here.

I always thought about leading with Arcanine to counter a ninjask baton pass chain you howl up twice or three times, break the sub, then extremespeed whatever Ninjask baton passes to and overheat skarm if it shows up and hp fighting Blisseys. Theyre probably not gonna want to keep their Ninjask in after they see you Howl + extremespeed

Arcanine @ Leftovers
-spatk, + atk
hp fighting
overheat
extremespeed
Howl

Sup Naas?

That seems pretty cool to me, I think he could OHKO Jask before it can pass, though I know I'd pass immediately if I was a Jask user, just incase of ES.

It has no protection from Blisseys Thunder Wave though.

Without Leftovers it could still work.

I was thinking Tar's Sandstream will ruin it, but he can ruin Tar himself with HP Fighting.

Lum Berry would work nicely on it though, since once it starts Howling, out comes your opponents WoWer.

Who gets 2HKO'd.

I use:

[email protected] Berry
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 6/252/0/0/252/0 Naughty (+Atk, -Sp.Def)
~Endure
~Extreme Speed
~Heat Wave/HP Fighting (if so change EVs to add more HP and Defences)
~Howl

Howl once or twice, Endure for the Liechi, and hit hard with Extreme Speed. Perhaps Salac to outrun Metagross for the Heat Wave? Personally I don't like Substitute to activate berrys, I find Endure much more effiecient.

PS: Can somebody tell me what Tyranniboah actually stands for?

If your talking about Boahtar then it's a T-Tar that's made to counter all of his weaknesses.

And Ice types can't be frozen.Heat Wave is too inaccurate.Since he only has one
sp.att,Overheat instead of Heat Wave,plus the extra power comes in handy to take
out Metagross.And sandstorm,QA,ES,MP is all over Endure.
