Unlike its Kanto counterpart, which is a pure Fire-type, Hisuian Growlithe is a Fire/Rock-type, reflecting its adaptation to the rugged, mountainous terrain of Hisui. Its fur is thicker and shaggier, providing insulation against the cold, and it has unique rock-like components in its mane and tail, believed to be the result of volcanic activity in its habitat. These rock elements are incredibly hard, offering protection in battle. Hisuian Growlithe is known for its keen sense of smell and its loyalty, often patrolling its territory in pairs. It evolves into Hisuian Arcanine, a majestic and powerful guardian of the mountains. In the games, it's a popular choice for players looking for a sturdy and offensively capable Pokémon. Its unique dual typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel, but vulnerable to Water, Ground, and Fighting. Its design evokes a sense of ancient, untamed wilderness, fitting perfectly with the theme of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
