Hisuian Arcanine's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Hisuian Arcanine PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Hisuian Arcanine has a decent ATK and it can be used as a Fire-type attacker in lower tier Raids. If it gets a Rock-type Fast Move in its arsenal (it learns both Rock Throw and Rock Slide in the mainline games), it can be a decent Rock-type attacker as well.

For now, go ahead and especially use it against Bug and Ice type Bosses in tier 1 and 3 Raids.

For Gyms, the double weakness to Ground as well as Water makes Hisuian Arcanine an easy target for Primal Groudon and Kyogre.

Hisuian Arcanine PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

The low DEF and high ATK stats of Hisuian Arcanine make this Pokémon an awkward fit for the Great League’s CP restrictions. This makes it more fragile and as such, it goes down pretty quickly to most of the meta, particularly against the omnipotent Water Pokémon in this format.

🟡 Ultra League

With a great variety of threats in the Ultra League, and Ground and Water being everywhere in these battles, running Hisuian Arcanine is a huge challenge. Its wins are far lesser than its losses, so it's best to just keep Hisuian Arcanine away from the Ultra League.
