Mudkip, that was a very useless post.

I prefer Arcanine even though its movepool is terrible. It can use Howl to raise its attack, and it has a good attack stat to sweep with. Flamethrower/Fire Blast can take care of common tanks such as Skarmory.

Wtf? No one cares if Slakoth is bad since it is a pre-evolution. Slaking has incredible power, and you don't have to let Truant take place if you switch out after every attack (give it a choice band and just don't give it Hyper Beam). Snorlax is also good because it can set up with Curse, which raises its poor defense. With very high HP, special defense, and boosted defense, Snorlax can tank and sweep. Zangoose, meh. Quick Attack and Swords Dance are nice, but it doesn't pose nearly as much of a threat as the other two normal pokes that were mentioned. Take care.

I hate when ppl waste time with the whole - don't double post thing
anyway
snorlax is the best there.
and ninetales has a much better movepool and doesn't rely on HP as much as arcanine.
It depends what do u want
arcanine - power
ninetales - annoyance.
personally i like ninetales more..its up to u.

Just choose like that.

This is the one I use. You could give it 0 speed Evs if you want. Mine just has enough to fight off certain Pokemon. I don't know any Evs for Nintails, ask Ice Demon or another active member.

Arcanine (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 158 Spd / 100 SAtk
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Extremespeed
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Howl

Erm, Ninetales of course. XD *sigh* they're so beautiful... an' besides an annoyer like Nine pwns over a mixed sweeper like Arcanine... plus Flash Fire offers a lot of potential... in more ways than one. XD

Off the top of my head Arcanine has better all-round stats. But in my opinion Ninetails would be better.

NO, annoyers do not exist, got it?

Ninetales is crap, because all it can do is pyrotrap, which fails as he gets rested/OHKO'd easily. Jesus christ.

Arcanine, mainly because it is one of the three pokemon who can learn Extremespeed. Plus, ES and its high sp. att., plus good def., really gives it the advantage over Ninetails.

I like the Ninetails Exploder thing I read about somewhere that I use:
[email protected] Herb
Sunny Day
Confuse Ray
Overheat
Hp Grass/Flamethrower/Big Smiley Face

I have no experience w/ RK9 only because I haven't trained one since I Flame Wheel/Bite/Extremespeed/Embered it on Silver... =/

In my personal opinion I would go with Ninetales. I would go for Arcanine but my little sister loves Ninetales so I'll stick by my decision. (But only because my sister will not try to hit me).

I like them both, but my personal choice is ninetales, as i always used ninetlaes in most of my games, and i think it has better potential than RK9.

Seconded.
Ninetales has good Speed and Special Defense, decent special attack, and w/ Flashfire, SD, and decent special attack, you have a massive Explosion of a Overheat. That you can do more than once with the same effect.
