Why HISUIAN ARCANINE Is DOMINATING Pokemon Tournaments

Love how people looked away from Hisuian Arcanine just because of it's typing only to use that advantage to dominate tournaments

A testament to having a Fire/Rock STAB user, probably the most offensive type combination, plus good abilities and solid stats.

Inset obligatory “he got that dog in him” here

I feel like once Gen 9 is over we are going to be seeing a lot more focus sash hisuian Arcanine

I would have never thought a rock/fire type would be relevant, let alone one of the top pics for competitive play. go archanine! you are a rock solid pup

If I had a nockel for every time a Fire/Rock type was originally overlooked, then helped dominate vgc, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's strange it happened twice.

Having the showcase is HUGE this is awesome. Fantastic idea and great video thank you ❤

Hisuian Arcanine is almost convincing me to get legends arcues just to get it.

Having amazing offensive typing with solid coverage and a rubbish defensive type in a metagame where you change defensive types as well as having amazing synergy with other pokemon and topping that off with some incredible abilites I guess makes for a good pokemon. I'm happy it's this good just because I love the design. It's awesome.

H-Arcanine also being a fire type is gonna make it a tough sell when Incinaroar finally drops. - However Banded Rock Slide is devastating and may be the niche that continues to carry it. Once Tera is gone though I think its may remain semi-used with its more aggressive sets being more common than its support sets as its typing lends it.

Harcanine with it's quad-weaknesses in a metagame where those are common threats: "The horrors persist, but so do I" I think that in future generations, Harcanine might decrease in usage, but only insofar as it will be comparable in usage to its kantonian cousin, with some teams favoring the slightly better attacking power of harc while others prefer the speed regular arcanine. Future generations might also see Harc take on even more offensive roles, taking advantage of its ability Rock Head to be able to smack things with flare blitz without the recoil ruining calcs.

I love the addition of games to your Pokémon showcase videos, you could even get away with redoing some Pokémon later in once the meta changes

Thought this was just gonna be "moxie talks about a topic for quite bit' video, but really appreciate the battles as well. That's a really cool format. 👍

I’m honestly sad that Tera is gonna go away eventually. I think it’s easily the best generational gimmick and I think it’s been really awesome to see how it’s changed the game up

I'm so proud of how great your videos are these days

Literally the underdog of the Hisui mons. Where's Ursaluna now? Shows you that the meta game does not always follows everyone's expectations.

Hisuian Arcanine is a good boy, so it's only natural he's dominating tournaments

I like the showcase at the end I hope you do more when you talk a Pokémon that are doing good in the vcg

Arcanine Hisui is an awesome teammate for a variety of mons and has a great matchup into Top threats. As long as Flutter Mane, Tornadus, Chien Pao, D Nite, non defiant physical mons are popular it will be an excellent addition to most teams. It also has the positive matchup into Psyspam which you have to love as a ladder player. I think even without Tera it will be a popular choice in formats where Redirection mons (Sinistcha, Ogrepon-Water and Amoonguss) are available.

I like the showcase in videos like this, although given how slow in game battles are it might be best to edit around the pauses/play in showdown
