Hisuian Arcanine is a valuable pick for mono rock teams thanks to it's fire typing, and its ability Rock Head, making it able to spam Flare Blitz without any recoil, being a threat against grass and steel mons like Gholdengo, Scizor, Ferrothorn and Mewscarada. E-Speed is a valuable priority move for rock teams, but Close combat can be run over it so it's able to create further pressure against steel types and normal types like Heatran, Hisuian Goodra and Chansey for super-effective damage. Substitute can be used against passive mons like Mega-Sableye, Ferrothorn and Celesteela which are easily threatened by this move.
Shuckle is a valuable partner for Hisuian Arcanine thanks to sticky web, making it able to out-speed threats like scarfed Excadrill, sneasler, etc. Ogerpon-Cornerstone is a great ally with Hisuian Arcanine, thanks to Ogerpon-Cornerstone's grass typing, she can endure Hisuian Arcanine's weakness to ground type moves that otherwise would take it down. Partners like Iron Boulder and Mega Diancie help Arcanine Hisui to kill fighting types like Sneasler and Kommo-o which completely shut down Hisuian Arcanine.
The given Ev spread allows Hisuian Arcanine to survive a +2 Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and OHKO back with Flare Blitz.
You can run Morning Sun over Close Combat and E-Speed for more longevity but lose offensive pressure.
