POGO Zard is a Stage 2 and Arcanine is a Stage 1...seems pretty slow/hard to set up to me. If Charmeleon had a great ability like Kirlia does, it might work.Arcanine can be put to use in a deck alongside POGO Zard. It's seemingly the best attacker for Fire types in my eyes right now. Single prizer that hits 240 for 2 Energy, what's not to like?
