Arcanine-Hisui is listed as a Fire/Rock type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Arcanine-Hisui fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Intimidate, Chople Berry and Hardy 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Flare Blitz, Rock Slide, Extreme Speed, Protect, Head Smash, and Close Combat. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Arcanine-Hisui has important weaknesses to ground 4x, water 4x, fighting 2x, rock 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as froslass-mega, sneasler, kingambit, garchomp, and basculegion-male appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
