Growlithe Pokédex: stats, moves, evolution & locations

Growlithe is the Puppy Pokémon, a Fire-type species introduced in Generation I. It first appeared in Pokemon Red. Growlithe stands 0.7m tall and weighs 19.0kg.

They patrol their territory in pairs. I believe the igneous rock components in the fur of this species are the result of volcanic activity in its habitat.
