==Other Media==

*Within the Pokémon anime series, Arcanine have sometimes been shown as police dogs along with Growlithe. Gary also was shown to have an Arcanine as one of his main Pokémon. He entered it in an Extreme Pokémon Race in one Johto-era episode and during the Silver Conference it was defeated by Ash's [[Snorlax]]. Another Johto series episode featured a pair of trainers who owned three Arcanine between them. During the Hoenn series, one episode focused on [[May]] and Drew's attempts to capture an Arcanine, only to quit when they saw that it was taking care of a litter of young Growlithe.
*In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blaine is shown to have an Arcanine but only uses it once briefly. During the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, Arcanine is introduced as one of Crystal's main Pokémon that she rescued from Mt. Mortar after its eye was injured by a prankster [[Larvitar]]. She frequently had it used Extremespeed on enemies. Within the same saga, Blue was shown to have his own Arcanine that he trained to act as part of his gym team, which battled trainers at his gym for him when he was away.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a combination of "arcane" (meaning mysterious) with "canine".
