Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

The vengeful power of the nine spirits that comprise this Pokémon overflows when it Mega Evolves, and it is driven to spread devastating curses to all who encounter it. Even its own Trainer is not safe unless their bond is truly deep.

Anyone touched by the spirit fire that emanates from this Pokémon is said to have their very soul burned with an indelible curse. Legend has it that only the roar of a Mega-Evolved Arcanine can remove this curse.
