Hi all pokemon fans! This is my report on the best pokemon ever! Arkanine! He is a realy cool card and can be a tough fighter! I will show you how arkanine is easily the best fire pokemon! First of all, lets look at Arkanine's attacks. First attack, whitch is flamethrower: does 50 damage and you have to remove on fire energy. Pretty good, and can ruin any grass pokemon's day. It's pretty good, but only warming up for it's ultimate move, Take down: Does 80 damage, ::WOW! thats 160 if your facing a grass tpe!:: but arcanine does 30 damage to itself. Take down's recoil hurts, but unlike chansey, (can only live one turn) Arcanine 100 hp allows it to use it 4 times (at maximum) Arcanines retreat cost hurts but thats okei becouse arcanione will stay in the game for a very looong time!

Scythers beware! Arcanine can roast any grass type in existince to a faint! See any grass type that has more then 100 or 160 hp? Not likely, but still, hardly anyone fits this big dog in their decks. Theyd rather put that big stupid lizard (charizard) into their decks when arcanine can roast him in two turns! Arcanine is not looked apon very well becouse its not a shiny. So? Shinys aren't allways as good as they seem. Look at Kabutops and omastar! Arcanine plays much better then he looks, with his retreat cost (and the cost for his attacks) my look hard to make him usefull, but when you use him  his attacks go rather smoothly.

To show you how good he is, lets make a pretend battle.::remember: this is only an example!::  Lets say you get youre deck and you get a growlithe, 3 fire energy, a potion, a defender, and a pluspower. your opponent has ::remember! Its just an example!:: a charmander, charmeleon, and a charizard, with three fire energies. You go first and get a card from your deck and its a fire energy. you put growlithe as youre fighter and play a fire enrgy on him. its youre apponents turn and he put charmander as his starter, plays a fire energy, and uses scratch for 20. You grab a card and it is a pokeball. you play another fire energy and uses flare for 20. Youre opponent evolves charmander into charmeleon, attaches a fire energy and slashes for 30. Youre in trouble! growlithe has only ten hp left! You give growlithe a potion, but one more slash and your finished! You take a card and its....arcanine! You play arcanine and attach a fire energy and use flamethrower (and discards an energy.)!
!
 and charmelon has only 10 hp left! Youre opponent plays charizard and and can't do anything (no more energies!) You attach another energy and and flamethrower! Cahrizards dead! And arkanine had only a little hp left!

Arkanine works great in many decks ::like damage swap!:: and can easily make some of the greatest pokemon faint in only 1 to 2 hits! Arcanine is the best pokemon ever, and I hope you learned how good he is!
