Growlithe (pronunciation: GROUL-ith) is a Fire-type Dog Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Growlithe generally live in active volcanoes, grassy plains, and scorched plains heated by geothermal activity. Most Officer Jennies have a Growlithe.

Appearance[]

This Pokémon resembles a puppy. It has bright orange fur with black stripes. Its belly, tail, and fluff on top of its head are a cream color. There are no gender differences. Much like Vulpix its shiny form is a yellow/golden color.

Special abilities[]

Growlithe can have the abilities Flash Fire and Intimidate. Flash Fire raises Growlithe's Attack if it is hit by a Fire-type move. Intimidate decreases the Attack of its opponent when it is put in battle. Naturally loyal and protective, if it is improperly trained it often bites without warning or unprovoked.

Evolution[]

Growlithe evolves into Arcanine by use of a Fire Stone.
