Pokemon Go

Did I waste 300k Stardust on a meta-irrelevant Pokemon? Mayhaps. Am I pressed about it? Nah. Big golden dog go brrrr



After some quick research it seems that H-Arcanine is middle tier at best. But honestly it’s such a cool mon, I don’t even care. So happy I got this finally!

    At the end of the day it’s your collection, I’d rather have a bunch of powered up pokemon that I really like than some random pokemon who happens to have a random IV that makes them good at a specific league

    meta is a concept. happiness is more important

  3. Sea_Raisin9297

    i woulda done the same. she’s a new shiny. show her off at your local gyms!!

  4. Wholesome_Bibi_Main

    Man I wish I had a shiny hisuian arcanine. One of my fave shinies personally

  5. Pleasenotanymore

    Lol i just got a 4 star hisuian growlithe today

  6. awkwurdturtle

    I would probably do the same bc I like the shiny and Arcanine is one of my favourites. As long as you’re happy, it’s not a waste in my book.

  7. suspicious_recipe_

    NOT IRRELEVANT that is a truly worthy shiny

  8. Deadpallyz

    Bro that’s sick I would done the same I power up all the ones I like regardless of meta

  9. I mean, I’d rather power up Pokémon I actually like than something just because it’s meta-relevant, so this looks great to me

    That’s awesome, congrats! Power up whatever you want to power up, at the end of the day it’s YOUR gameplay experience.

    I’m so jealous btw! I really grinded out this event and did so many field researches/hatched so many growlithe possible eggs yet the bastard escaped me. Oh well!

    Happiness is key, if you want to play this game for a long time, do what makes you happy with your collection. Not what’s good in gbl or raids. No waste here imo

  12. CJtheBritain

    I think I spent about 200k getting my hundo H-Doggo to lvl 40, so I can confirm big (golden/orange) dog go brr

  13. Imbatmansidekick

    You just inspired me. I wasn’t sure if I was going to evolve him .. I did and totally love him

  14. NotTrynaMakeWaves

    It’s a beautiful Pokémon though

  15. Regular Arcanine is already incredibly strong, making hisui arcanine already quite good, not to mention that this shiny form just came out last week making this an even bigger flex

  16. CatchAmongUs

    Got this right after the event ended. I had one kilometer left on my only remaining “Walk 5 km” field research task, and the reward was a shiny good boy. This one is so cool, and I plan to do the exact same thing, no regrets! It’ll be next up to best buddy also.

  17. Klanxi1000101

    I did the same. I absolutely love H-Arcanine, I was unable to get a shiny but I did get a 98% so I 40 maxed it. I usually 40 max (If I have the candy) my fav Mons. I don’t really care about pvp and raids are gonna be down with other people anyway so if your Mons are lacking it ain’t that big of a deal. For me atleast

  18. Accomplished-Art-301

    I hatched one of those! I refuse to evolve it though unless I get another one, I love his emo hair. Plus I already have a perfect non shiny hitsu arcanine

  19. Hot-Wonder1203

    I’ve leveled 5 of them because it’s killing the Entei raids for me and it’s got good rock attacks

  20. somedumbguy55

    Why stop now. Second move and elite tm

  21. reverie11

    If you’re happy who cares about the meta!

    You’re gonna have that boy forever

  22. tropicthunderGOAT

    I find that when I do gyms I never really need a slightly stronger Pokémon.. we either beat the gym easy or can’t by a mile. Might as well do what you want with the dust!

  23. No_Stranger_4959

    I wasted a lot, not as much as you, but enough to second guess myself. This was before the event, so you can imagine how annoyed I was when I had, not one, not two, but 3 of these Growlithes at near perfect IVs through the event. Meanwhile, my Arcanine is a 2 star 😅

  24. MyzfytMayhem

    I’ve not even caught one of those yet.

    “Strong pokemon. Weak pokemon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.”

  26. Snoo_80364

    I spent like 200 rare candies to max my volcorona!

    I waited till she was best bud.

    (Also used 390 rare candies to evolve)

  27. dropmysoap204

    You can always get more dust, no harm powering something you want. And i normally just save dust for meta pokemons.

    I powered a shadow poliwrath to 48(all my candies), gave it 2nd charged move. 400k ish dust
    And i occasionally put it in gyms for fun.

    No regrets.

  28. Gojizilla6391

    Lmao, do whatever you want, it’s your save file.

    Hell, go use that dog in master league, will spook the shit outta some poor guy

  29. EmmetttB

    I am about to Max my hundo wooper because woop woop

  30. Originative_Username

    I have a maxed out Shuckle and Smeargle. I generally just go after my favorites and don’t really do battles or raids.

  31. P8sammies

    Great use of dust!! Enjoy the game!!!

    I love the shiny little guy— not sure I will evolve mine!

  32. How do you get the xl candy? New to the game

  33. TheFiveDees

    How could anyone be mad, you found a Pokémon you love and you boosted it up so that you could use it when you wanted to. Much respect

  34. Green-Philosopher622

    I only max out Pokémon that I enjoy aesthetically 😤 specifically my shiny birbs, gotta make em Stronk

  35. Jeffzuzz

    Dont worry u can still farm those stardust back. Also I would have done the same if I got a shiny of this good boy. I did 50+ field research and didnt get one at all lol.

  36. AstroNot87

    *Brrrrrr* who cares right? I be doing the same shit to the ones that look cool as shinymons

    Edit: and still have 1.3MIL stardust lmao

  37. slkdjfod

    No one can judge, I say blow stardust on whatever the f*qu you want
