== Trivia ==
* Although its species is known as the "Legendary Pokémon", it is not a Legendary Pokémon.
** This is also shown in the second episode of the anime where Arcanine is should on a plaque containing the legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos & Moltres.
* Arcanine's prototype name was "Blaze."
* Several of Arcanine's Pokédex entries state that it is seen in China and is depicted in Chinese legends, showing that there are similarities in regions with the real world and Pokémon world.
** However, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, this is simply changing to "the East".
** China is also referenced in Parasect's Pokedex entries for Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon FireRed.
* Arcanine's early design had wings and no stripes.
* The anime shows that Arcanine can store food in its mane to feed to its pups.
* Arcanine is similar to Ninetales as both are fire types who evolve with fire stones.
* Arcanine is offered as a gift Pokémon for those playing Let's Go Eevee after they have caught 5 Meowth. The inverse happens with Persian and Growlithe in Let's Go Pikachu.
* Despite many Pokédex entries saying that it is extremely fast, its speed is not its most pronounced stat.
* Arcanine and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokemon with a male-female gender ratio of 3:1 that isn't in the Human Egg Group.
* Arcanine can be seen as a counterpart to Ninetales:
** Both are pure Fire types that evolve from their base stage via Fire Stone.

** Both have a regional variant.
