In-Depth Analysis
Growlithe's 350 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (70) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 45 means careful positioning matters.
Its Fire typing leaves Growlithe with 3 weaknesses against 6 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
With a catch rate of 190, Growlithe is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
