I suppose this is a little late, but if you haven't done it already, you can have an Arcanine with both Flamethrower and ExtremeSpeed on Silver...just train Growlithe to lvl. 50, teach it Flamethrower, then evolve it with the Fire Stone at level 50. When it evolves, it should learn ExtremeSpeed.
As for a fourth move, I'm not the best person to ask about that as I don't really battle competitively. :D
Oh, it can learn both? That's good news man, thanks =D
I never got round to finishing training up Growlithe, so you weren't too late at all haha.
I'm not one for competative battling either, in fact I can't even remember quite why I was training up a Growlithe exactly. I think it was a combination of boredom and wanting an awesome EV trained Arcanine to smash up the game with XDD

Well, I finally got round to completing the training of my Growlithe. It's now a Level 50 Arcanine, and its stats are pretty good (Which i'd have hoped they would be, given how long it's taken to train the damned thing).
His stats at Lv 50 {The Max stats available are in brackets}:
Hp: 190 {197}
At: 161 {162}
Df: 124 {132}
Sa: 141 {152}
Sd: 121 {132}
Sp: 145 {147}
I used Bulbapedia/Marriland to work out the max stats, i'm 99% sure they're correct. I'm pretty happy with how his stats have turned out, especially his Hp, Attack and Speed.
I still need to learn him a 4th move, atm he's got:
Extreme Speed
Flamethrower
Take Down
Bite
<- This is the one i'm looking to replace
I don't wanna teach him Hyper Beam as he already has 2 powerful normal type moves (Which don't require him to recharge). Sunny Day is an option, I guess, to power up Flamethrower and weaken Water Moves etc, but i'd rather teach him something else given the option. The other move i'm thinking of teaching him is Reflect, to try and make up for the fact his defence isn't too great. But again, it's not ideal imo.
Any suggestions = massively appreciated ^-^
