Hisuian Growlithe is a Fire and Rock-type Pokémon featured in the Hisuian Discoveries, an event bringing a handful of pocket monsters from the Hisui region into Pokémon GO. This event will debut the Hisuian versions of Growlithe, Qwilfish, Sneasel, and Braviary. Hisuian Voltorb, an Electric and Grass Pokémon that appeared previously in Pokémon GO, will also be returning to the AR wild. Hisuian Discoveries will be live from July 27, 2022, to August 2, 2022. Several Pokémon will spawn more frequently during this event, but Hisuian Growlithe can only be acquired through 7km Eggs. Once Trainers obtain Hisuian Growlithe in Pokémon GO, they will naturally want to know how to evolve it.
Evolving Hisuian Growlithe In Pokémon GO
To evolve Hisuian Growlithe into Hisuian Arcanine in Pokémon GO, Trainers must feed the pocket monster Candy ×50. Fortunately, the required Candy type is standard Growlithe Candy, meaning players do not need to hatch and transfer multiple Hisuian Growlithes. Accordingly, catching wild Growlithes is essential for gathering the necessary Candy for Hisuian Growlithe’s evolution in Pokémon GO.

There are several ways to earn Growlithe Candy for evolving Hisuian Growlithe into Hisuian Arcanine in Pokémon GO:
- Catching Wild Growlithe: As mentioned above, capturing normal Growlithe in the wild is the primary way of procuring the necessary amount of Candy for Hisuian Growlithe’s evolution.
- Feeding Pinap Berries to Growlithe: Before landing a Poké Ball throw on a Growlithe, be sure to feed it a Pinap Berry to double the amount of Candy received after performing a successful capture. Silver Pinap Berries have the same effect as regular Pinap Berries but increase the Catch Rate.
- Walking with a Buddy Growlithe or Hisuian Growlithe: Trainers can walk with their Growlithe variants to passively earn Candy. Of course, this method is naturally slow but an excellent means of acquiring Candy while walking and completing other in-game activities.
- Transferring Growlithe: Transferring any excess Growlithe will free up one’s Pokémon Storage and provide them with some extra Candy.
- Hatching Growlithe or Hisuian Growlithe: Whenever Trainers successfully hatch a Growlithe variant, they will receive a decent amount of Candy.
Once players have evolved Hisuian Growlithe into Hisuian Arcanine in Pokémon GO, understanding the evolution form’s best Moveset, strengths, and weaknesses is vital for using it in battle.
- Best Moveset: Fast Move – Snarl | Charged Move – Wild Charge or Rock Slide
- Strong Against: Bug, Fairy, Fire, Flying, Ice, Normal, and Poison
- Weak Against: Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water
