Extra Notes:
Besides the Defense and HP low downs, Growlithe's got a nice moveset to boost from his so-so Attack. Moves like Flare Blitz and Heat Wave ware down those strong Grass types. Watch out for Water Pokemon and Ground Types. These will destroy Growlithe and may cost the battle. Have a Grass Type in the team for those stubborn water types. But Poliwrath is a concern so carry a Psychic Pokemon as well. If you want to evolve Growlithe into Arcanine, you'll get an ever bigger bonus to Attack! Not to mention the huge Speed, Defence and HP boost. Let's get an analysis on Arcanine.
