Fire

They patrol their territory in pairs. I believe the igneous rock components in the fur of this species are the result of volcanic activity in its habitat.

Abilities

Intimidate

When the Pokémon enters a battle, it intimidates opposing Pokémon and makes them cower, lowering their Attack stats.

Flash Fire

If hit by a Fire-type move, the Pokémon absorbs the flames and uses them to power up its own Fire-type moves.

Hidden ability

Justified

When the Pokémon is hit by a Dark-type attack, its Attack stat is boosted by its sense of justice.

Using it in a run

Growlithe spreads 350 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Attack (70) and its weakest is Defense (45), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Ground, Rock and Water. It resists Bug, Fairy and Fire in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 16 moves; the hardest-hitting is Flare Blitz at 120 power, available at level 56. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
