11Overview22Arcanine is a Fire-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Legendary Pokemon (Dex #089). Despite the "Legendary" species title, Arcanine is not a Legendary Pokemon in the traditional sense; the classification comes from its main series Pokedex entry. Arcanine can be found in two habitats: Mini Museum and Magma Fishing Spot, both primarily located in Rocky Ridges. It carries two specialties: Search for finding buried items and Burn for igniting flammable objects. In the main series, Arcanine is the evolution of Growlithe.44Habitats66Arcanine can spawn at two different habitats in Rocky Ridges.88Mini Museum1111ItemQuantityNotesExhibition Stand1Craftable or found in later regionsPost (any)3Any type of post or sign worksLost Relic (Large)1Found by using Rock Smash on glowing blocks1313Arcanine appears as a Rare visitor at the Mini Museum habitat. This habitat represents a small exhibition space, fitting for a Pokemon with the "Legendary" species classification. The Mini Museum is best built in Rocky Ridges.1414Magma Fishing Spot1616ItemQuantityNotesFishing Rod1Obtainable through gameplaySeat (any)1Any type of seating worksLava1Found naturally in volcanic areas of Rocky Ridges1818Arcanine appears as a Common visitor at the Magma Fishing Spot habitat. This is the easier of the two habitats to use for befriending Arcanine, since it spawns at a Common rarity here. Rocky Ridges contains natural lava pools that satisfy the Lava requirement.1919Location2121Both of Arcanine's habitats are primarily found in Rocky Ridges, the third major region in Pokopia. Rocky Ridges features volcanic terrain with lava flows and caves, making it the natural home for fire-type Pokemon like Arcanine. The Magma Fishing Spot is the recommended habitat for befriending Arcanine, since it offers a Common spawn rate compared to the Mini Museum's Rare rate. Arcanine is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.2323How to Befriend2525The easiest approach is to build the Magma Fishing Spot habitat in Rocky Ridges. Find a lava pool, then place a Fishing Rod and a Seat nearby. Arcanine will appear as a Common visitor. Walk up and interact with Arcanine to befriend it. If you prefer the Mini Museum route, gather an Exhibition Stand, three posts, and a Large Lost Relic.2727Specialties2929Search3131Arcanine has the Search specialty. If you hold the Dowsing Machine and press the A button while walking with Arcanine, you will start looking for buried items. Arcanine is a Search companion with no time restrictions, available both day and night.3333Burn3535Arcanine also has the Burn specialty. Pokemon with Burn can set fire to flammable objects such as campfires, furnaces, and smelting stations. Station Arcanine near fire-based crafting equipment, and it will keep the flames going during its free time. This is identical to Growlithe's Burn specialty.3737Preferences3939CategoryDetailIdeal EnvironmentWarmFavorite FlavorSpicyLikesLots of fire, stone stuff, nice breezes, watching stuff, symbolsRarityRare (Mini Museum) / Common (Magma Fishing Spot)Time of DayAll (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night)WeatherAll (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy)4141Pokedex Information4242FieldValueDex Number#089TypeFireSpeciesLegendary PokemonHeight6'3" (1.9 m)Weight341.7 lbs (155.0 kg)Generation14444"An ancient picture scroll shows that people were captivated by its movement as it ran through prairies."4545Evolution Line4747PokemonDex NumberSpecialtyGrowlithe#088Search, BurnArcanine#089Search, Burn4949Growlithe and Arcanine share identical specialties. Growlithe is easier to befriend through the Perpetual Mess habitat in early regions, while Arcanine requires access to Rocky Ridges and its volcanic terrain. If you already have Growlithe, Arcanine provides the same specialties with a more imposing presence.5050Tips5252The Magma Fishing Spot is the best habitat for befriending Arcanine, since it offers a Common spawn rate. Look for lava pools in Rocky Ridges and set up a Fishing Rod and Seat nearby.Arcanine's Burn specialty is perfect for keeping campfires and furnaces lit in your base. Station it near your cooking or smelting area for hands-free fire management.If you have not reached Rocky Ridges yet, Growlithe provides the same Search and Burn specialties and is available much earlier in the game.Furnish Arcanine's habitat area with warm, fire-themed, and stone items to increase its Comfort Level.Despite its "Legendary Pokemon" species title, Arcanine is not a true Legendary in Pokopia. The classification is a holdover from its original Pokedex species name.
