Arcanine questions

Is Arcanine a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Arcanine joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Arcanine in PokéSurvivor?

Arcanine is Fire. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Arcanine be shiny?

Yes. A wild Arcanine is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Arcanine a rift legendary?

No. Arcanine can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
