arcanine or charizard

Arcanine has great stats but a terrible movepool, but Charizard has decent stats and a ok movepool, so I would go with Charizard.

Then again, I don't know much about the competitive side of the game.
 
Better for what? The two have distinct leanings in their movepools and statlines so you can't just say that one is better than the other. Give a freakin' context and we'll talk.

Speaking of fire types in general, there are better ones than these two, though. Also, Charizard will need a spinner to support it because of that double Stealth Rock weak.
 
Yeah, charizard, as mentioned above, gets hammered by stealth rock. However, it is immune to EQ, something not to be underappreciated. I love both, so no biased opinion...but yeah, best what?
 
both man lol, or in a double battle arcanine and magmortar with lava plume, flash fire makes it a great combo while it lasts lol
 
Ah just post what you plan to use it for if its for a special sweeper go chari'!but really as poeple have posted before chari' is double weak to SR but Immune to EQ which is the most common move in use.Arcanine has a regular weakness to SR but EQ is Super-Effective against him so its your choice.
