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. It's 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.

Evolution
Growlithe evolves into Arcanine by use of a Fire Stone.
