Charizard has that sleek black shiny, one of the best in the pokemon universe. Arcanine's shiny is just an okay tan color, I probably like the default Arcanine color more, but with Charizard's shiny you are upgrading to something even more dramatic, and I appreciate that.

Arcanine got that floof

You can play Fetch with Arcanine.
Can you do that with Charizard ?

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Depends on how you train it.

Arcanine go woosh.

As for the shiny.... eh. I'm not impressed by either of their shiny's tbh. It does stand out more from the original though, there is that.

Charizard doesn't just go woosh, he flies!

And Charizard's strongest Fire attack doesn't also come with a massive amount of recoil damage!

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Mega Charizard Y has Drought.

Being a stone evo, as of gen 8 you basically get access to all of Arcanine's moves once you use a Fire Stone on it.
Except for Flamethrower and Raging Fury in gen 9, for some reason.

Neither does Arcanine's. Look up Raging Fury
It comes with confusion after three turns instead! It's basically Fire type Outrage =P

Hisui Arcanine can get Rock Head too. It can Flare Blitz & Head Smash all day long!

Arcanine's abilities are not locked behind mega evolution. And it can revenge kill with Extreme Speed as well. Equip Morning Sun, and keep going with Flare Blitz. And not to forget that Arcanine can do all this with pure Fire Type and no forme change, unlike Charizard, who is reliant upon mega evolving for doing things and has secondary typing.

Even if Y has drought, head to head with Flash Fire Arcanine will make Charizard just Fire Type Pokemon with no Fire attacks capability !!

Fire resists itself anyway. Also, Charizard has Air Slash.

Arcanine has a higher total of stat points!

Who's side are you on here FCG? XD

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

102.

Mega Charizard X has Tough Claws.

One more point for Arcanine because it looks cute when it wags its tail and sticks its tongue out!
Also, I added to the rules that everyone is free to switch sides and back if they wish to.

Who's side are you on here FCG? XD

I am on the side of suspense! ^^

Admits some fatigue around Charizard from overexposure. Remains a fine design, though. (Was never much of a dog person either.)

I pick Arcanine because it likes belly rubs!

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

103.

I pick Charizard because it can melt mountains.
