Extreme Speed gets the jump on everything in the tier and backs up Hisuian Arcanine's potent STAB moves by letting it revenge kill frailer offensive Pokemon from high HP like Greninja, Ogerpon, and Latios. Notably, it can even prevent Adamant Lokix from revenge killing Hisuian Arcanine with First Impression. The perfect coverage afforded by these moves lets it fit a utility option into its last moveslot. Hisuian Arcanine is a great Stealth Rock setter thanks to its great matchup against Excadrill and Mandibuzz, the most common hazard removers, but it can also use Morning Sun to let its user more recklessly switch it in against foes like Tinkaton and Zapdos. Howl can be used over either choice to boost Hisuian Arcanine's attack, letting it more easily cleave through offense with a boosted Extreme Speed. A Jolly nature with Tera Normal is chosen to let Hisuian Arcanine get the jump on Excadrill and to give Extreme Speed a much-needed power boost against offensive teams.

Hisuian Arcanine best fits on offensive teams and is best supported by offensive teammates that can break through the few things that can take on its STAB attacks. Latios can break through Kommo-o, Hippowdon, and Gastrodon, and it can help with some offensive foes that Hisuian Arcanine struggles to revenge kill like Sand Rush Excadrill while also switching into Keldeo for it. Stealth Rock setters like Tinkaton let Hisuian Arcanine more freely run Morning Sun and in return it relieves some pressure on them to switch into Flying-types like Zapdos and Tornadus-T. Tinkaton can also check some foes Hisuian Arcanine struggles with, like the Normal-resistant faster offensive threats Ogerpon-C and Iron Boulder. Pivot support from allies like Lokix and Tornadus-T can bring Hisuian Arcanine in on prey like Tinkaton and Zapdos. Strong Water-types like Azumarill and Greninja can help Hisuian Arcanine with bulky Ground-types like Hippowdon and Rhyperior that cause it problems.

Extreme Speed backs up Hisuian Arcanine's potent STAB moves by letting it revenge kill frailer offensive Pokemon from high HP like Greninja, Ogerpon, and Latios, and the perfect coverage afforded by these moves lets it fit a utility option into its last moveslot. I would bring up Lokix here when talking about Espeed because it is one of the only Pokemon capable of hitting it before First Impression. Hisuian Arcanine is a great Stealth Rock setter thanks to its great matchup against Excadrill and Mandibuzz, the most common hazard removers, but it can also use Morning Sun to let its user more recklessly switch it in against foes like Tinkaton and Zapdos. Double-Edge is another option to get a stronger hit on foes like Kommo-o and Gastrodon. A Jolly nature with Tera Normal is chosen to let Hisuian Arcanine get the jump on Excadrill and to give Extreme Speed a much-needed power boost against offensive teams.

Hisuian Arcanine best fits on offensive teams and is best supported by offensive teammates that can break through the few things that can take on its STAB attacks. Latios can break through Kommo-o, Hippowdon, and Gastrodon, and it can help with some offensive foes that Hisuian Arcanine struggles to revenge kill like Sand Rush Excadrill. You could also mention how Latios can answer Specs Keldeo as it can give it chances to wall break. Stealth Rock setters like Tinkaton let Hisuian Arcanine more freely run Morning Sun and in return it relieves some pressure on them to switch into Flying-types like Zapdos and Tornadus-T. Tink also checks Rockpon, one of the few faster offensive Pokemon that resists Espeed. Pivot support from allies like Lokix and Tornadus-T can bring Hisuian Arcanine in on prey like Tinkaton and Zapdos.

I would give a small mention of some partners that pressure Rhyperior as that is something that has been popping up

QC 1/2 Good Job

I would put in a mention of a strong extreme speed, especially boosted by tera normal, being the main reason harc is as good as it is, compressing priority and a breaker. I also would add that tera normal as a reactive also lets it avoid revenge killing Pokemon like Greninja and Sand rush excadrill in a pinch by eating their hit and KOing them back.
I'd like to see a mention of Rotom-wash specifically in the teammates section, as I've found it to be one of the best for swapping into ground types while also being a pivot that can bring harc in against the likes of Hydrapple and AV torn even. Would also add that wisp wears down clanger more easily too.
Not much to add really great work, QC 2/2
