I will go with Arcanine, as he is capable or running 6,200 miles in a single day & night. His Cousin in Hisui, will make short of Charizard after giving Choice Scarf. And in general Arcanine is bulky enough, unlike Charizard, who possesses less bulk.

Arcanine because its power is over nine thousand!

But Charizard gets Blast Burn. Super powerful Fire move!

Arcanine(H) has got Rock Head ability, and then couple it with Head Smash and Flare Blitz for maximum damage.

Whereas Blast Burn works once in Two Turns, just like Truant !! 🤣

I'm indifferent on both, tbh. :P

Also, can we add which one is up and which down in the thread title, please? :3

One point for Charizard because I will never forget when mine (in Red) took an Hydro Cannon in a Link cable battle, and, as all seemed lost, stood back up with 1 HP and the glare of one who bows to noone!

With that said, Arcanine used Choice Band boosted Wild Charge to KO Charizard;
whereas Arcanine(H) used Choice Scarf boosted Head Smash to make joke of Charizard !!

But Charizard being faster and being equipped with Soft Sand, uses Earthquake!
See you later, Arcanine!

 

[Delta Crowned Sword]

't want to monopolize this thread, hence just giving the proof, rather than changing the value of Tug 'o' War :
Even replacing Soft Sand with Choice Band, and keeping Adamant nature only brings guaranteed 2HKO, whereas Arcanine is just enough without anything else. Do note the value speed of Arcanine with Jolly nature; he is faster than Charizard, if Charizard had not got speed boosting kits.

This is just one of the examples where Arcanine is underrated, but punch through the popular picks with ease !!

Let's Rock & Roll Arcanine !!

97, I guess?

Anyway, Arcanine Protecc the hooman

Charizard attaccs the hooman

Though since I dislike Ash, I'd consider the latter a plus in this case xD

Pokémon, third movie : Who saves the human and the Pikachu ? Charizard saves the human and the Pikachu!

In Gen 3, this line got Metal Claw.

 

[~Cinderace~]

If arcaninie can go whoosh then charizard can soar In the sky.

Btw Gardevoir if arcaninie wins by hitting zero then by which number does Charizard wins?

I took a look at the damage calcs, and noticed that Charizard was not given a speed-boosting nature. Instead it has an adamant one for attack, and only Arcanine's speed was maximized. Charizard is usually run as a fast pokemon with timid, naive or jolly, depending on the set, in this case it should be jolly like Arcanine. When they both have the same nature Charizard moves first, it's base speed is higher, it's also a guaranteed ohko with earthquake, once you give it physical attack evs, no soft sand is required.

 

[Delta Crowned Sword]

Now my time has come to vote for Arcanine.....

I took a look at the damage calcs

I also took the closer look in yours case and found that the Arcanine which you chose is Hisui variant, whereas I had considered the original Arcanine !!

😄


Replace that with the Original Arcanine, and the match falls to 2HKO idea for Charizard. Whereas one Rock Slide is all that's needed from Arcanine.


And there I chose Adamant Nature to Maximize the damage from Charizard, with considering that Arcanine will go last. Added Soft Sand/Choice Band. Not guaranteed victory still.....
