How to Evolve Growlithe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus features a lot of returning Pokémon, but some of them have returned with a slightly different form that better reflects the Hisui region’s unique characteristics.

This is the case of Growlithe, who appears in Pokémon Legends: Arceus as Hisuian Growlithe. As such, the Pokémon evolves into Hisuian Arcanine, which also sports slightly different looks than the regular Arcanine.

Here’s how to evolve Growlithe into Arcanine in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

How to Evolve Growlithe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

To evolve Growlithe in Arcanine in Pokémon Legends: Arceus you will need to use a Fire Stone. This item, while not particularly common, can be found in several different ways in the Hisui region.

The most common way of finding a Fire Stone is by letting your Pokémon break Tumblestone ores. Which item you get by doing so is random, but if you find a sparkling ore around, it means that it is more likely to yield a rare item, including a Fire Stone.

If you’re not feeling particularly lucky, there are other ways of obtaining a Fire Stone. You can purchase one from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village for 1000 Merit Points or you can get one for free by completing the Request 52: Eevee’s Evolutions quest.

Once a Fire Stone is in your possession, all you need to do is use it on Growlithe to evolve the Pokémon into Arcanine.
