YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Lavender Town 'nuff said

In the original Pokemon manga Pokemon can die from brutal battles. There was even a homicidal hunter bigger than a SUV killing people and Pokemon and was able to turn as hard as a rock deflecting attacks to taunt it's foes.

I use Swallow Whole. Its Super Effective

Meep! *Huttser uses Struggle!......It's not very affective..!*

*uses Bide* XDD

well...Huttser, you are undeniably awesome, But Agrippa is a houndoom, so im voting for him :3

*slam money down on table* I'm betting on Huttser!

Well let's take a look at this. Arcanine has amazing stats and a move pool that is damned good. Houndoom has pretty good stats but a somewhat shitty move pool. Arcanine is also afire tips that has a trait that allows it to absorb all fire attacks and make it stronger. The better Pokemon is arcanine....... but thea simple fact is that this was just a trick question ... the answer is they both win........ hutay gets a size boost from all da fire attacks ..... which in turn ends up giving aggy a bigger belly bulge. ;)

Houndoom also knows Flashfire. :3

But it'd move pool>< even flash fire can't save that!

Perhaps not, but the only bonus that Arcanine has against Houndoom is Rock-smash, but there's no STAB and it's too weak on its own to be that effective.

If anything, Houndoom has a better move-pool because it has shadow-moves, which aren't absorbable by Arcanine, and do get STAB's from Houndoom.

Arcanine use dig.

The real problem with houndoom is that he is a speed and special attack type fighter. And around 90%ofthe the moves he learns are physical attacks. And hethe dosent get ANY special attack dark moves not through leveling breading or tm's. So I always end up training him as a physical and speed Pokemon normal leaving his attack stat the same as
the special attack stat without any ev's in it which in all honesty is a waste of a perfictly good design and type mix.

Arcanines Physical ATK is his best stati id say. His move pool doesnt even focus on physical STAB thats worth your time until at least 4th Gen, when he gets Flare Blitz. Id say running a Dig/ Extremespeed/ Flare Blitz/ Double Team Arcanine with maybe a Life Orb or Leftovers would be the best bet for this battle. honestly, Intimidate is wasted, considering Houndoom is a Special ATK based Pokemon. However, Flash Fire is good, but Arcanine would do best with Justified as his ability. The fire moves arent going to be very powerful due to the type matchup, so Houndoom is obviously going to use Dark moves. (His movepool really doesnt allow for much else, unless you want Hyper Beam) This beefs up Arcanine when hes hit by Dark Pulse, and leaves him with the advantage afterward. No matter how amazing that Houndoom is, he cant OHKO him with any move he learns.

(EVs can besplashed between HP Speed and Attack respectivley.)

As for Houndoom, his Special ATK is his calling. Noticing both Flash Fire and Justified, hed be best off chancing the Dark moves when its closer tothe match ending, and the Fire moves never. This leaves Houndoom pretty much screwed, for lack of a better term. however, as a Devils Advocate (lol) id run a Shadow Ball/ Protect/ Double Team/ Toxic move set. No STAB, but its evasive and able to keep up with Arcanines superior everything. It would just come down to timing of Protect and how well Double Team works.

EVs in HP Special ATK and Speed)

Id have money on Arcanine, but Houndooms no slouch! Id be interestedto hear any other thoughts on movesets etc too!

Also, in recognition of Houndooms Flashfire ability, an alternate Arcanine attack to Flare Blitz would be Thunder Fang for possible flinch/paralysis.

Then comes a level 87 EV competitive trained Mightyhena named Drake :3?
