Ive seen so many people using this deck already and they all 100% fail. 

They never get energy going or any plays. Maybe they are bad pilots or this deck needs work like the uploader says.

Whenever I go against this deck on ptcgl pika v-union absolutely slaps it to the high heavens. I have never lost to it because the deck just doesn't work well

I've had a rough 60% success rate with Arcanine EX (not this build). The goal of it is go over power your opponent with Arcanine Ex, keep attaching energy with Armarouge and recover the discarded energy with the Magma Basin. Radiant Zard and Entei V are great backup mons and since Armarouge will always have energy it's very easy to snowball wins. The deck dies to Water though so Palkia or any other water base decks are basically an immediate scoop

Greetings to all trainers and collectors :-)

I'm a newbie, I started collecting cards about 14 days ago and started playing an online game yesterday morning. I left the blue league last night. And I assemble the decks myself and cook them from water. :-)

Although you can insult me here, I have to say something about this deck. I encounter Arcanine EX a lot. It has 2 major weaknesses. Radiant Charizard. 250 attack is great, but one turn after that Charizard stops. And 160 DMG can be handled by practically many V cards. And then water. It is enough for the trainer to have Palkia in the deck. He quickly collected 2-3 water energy and is game over. Maybe I don't play decks like this anymore that only contain one type of Pokemon.

I've beaten this deck a few times, I've lost a few times, it's true. Entei is very strong. And it is necessary to have some strong VMAX in the team, because if the opponent stacks 2 or more Arcanins, it is a huge problem. At the same time, I started using this deck myself. I currently have 3 built and I'm building another into the rotation.

For example, I don't have Entei V. Well, real card yes, but not in online game. :-D I might not be afraid to combine Arcenine with electric Pokemon. Definitely some V+VMAX. This can work, for example, against Giratina, which can defeat Arcanine, or against water Pokemon.

I personally think that this deck has too many Pokémon and not enough Energy. I usually use something like 10 Pokemon, 15 energy and the rest of the trainer cards, items, etc. But the fact is that I don't even have any items that are listed here. And I'm in a low rank. I remember from League of Legends that at a lower rank you could play with a different item set or a different champion. So I believe that an upgrade is needed, for example to higher grades.

I wish everyone a nice day and good luck. :-)

I would replace the pokeballs because they are a coin flip card and you don't want to rely on them in a sticky situation, I would replace them with some card to get fire energy from discard as Arcanine ex will discard them.
