Hisuian Growlithe serves as a potent wallbreaker with a Choice Scarf. Its ability to spam high-Base Power moves makes it a difficult Pokemon to switch into, often forcing guessing games between Flare Blitz and Head Smash. Psychic Fangs deters more reliable switch-ins to Hisuian Growlithe's STAB moves, hitting Mienfoo and Mareanie. Psychic Fangs also has the additional benefit of breaking screens, something that may hinder Hisuian Growlithe's wallbreaking. The final slot is flexible, with Rock Blast offering a lower-power alternative to Head Smash, with better accuracy and more PP that also beats Terastalized Weak Armor Vullaby. Stealth Rock allows Growlithe to provide role compression to offensive teams through offering entry hazard support, while Sleep Talk lets it sponge Spore from Foongus and still pose a threat. Tera Fire provides a stronger Flare Blitz to power through other bulky checks like Mudbray and the aforementioned Mienfoo.

Much like many other wallbreakers in the tier, Hisuian Growlithe prefers having hazards off the field as much as possible. Defog and Rapid Spin users such as Vullaby and Toedscool enable it to get in frequently, with the former also able to provide pivoting support and the latter providing Spore support. Mienfoo is another good teammate, as it can tank opposing Hisuian Growlithe's attacks and pivot your own in. Partners like Gastly and Gothita also provide offensive synergy, being able to pressure checks such as Mareanie and Glimmet.

Growlithe-Hisui serves as a potent wallbreaker with a Choice Scarf. Its ability to spam powerful 120 high base power moves makes it a difficult Pokemon to switch into, often having to play a guessing game between Flare Blitz and Head Smash. Psychic Fangs deters more reliable switch-ins to the STAB moves, hitting Mienfoo and Mareanie which otherwise safely tank the STAB attacks, mention breaking screens. The final slot is flexible, with Rock Blast offering a lower power alternative to Head Smash, but with better accuracy and more PP. Stealth Rock allows Growlithe to serve as role compression on offensive teams to fit hazards, and Sleep Talk lets it sponge Spore from Foongus and allow it to spam its other moves still pose a threat. Tera Fire provides a stronger Flare Blitz to 2HKO Mienfoo and power through other bulky checks like Mudbray and mienfoo.

Growlithe-Hisui serves as a potent wallbreaker (its a wallbreaker but i think scarf is more focussed on revenge killing im ngl, up to you on exact wording. i just think a potent attacker would work well) with a Choice Scarf. Its ability to spam powerful high base power moves makes it a difficult Pokemon to switch into, often having to play a guessing game between Flare Blitz and Head Smash. Psychic Fangs deters more reliable switch-ins to the STAB moves, hitting Mienfoo and Mareanie which otherwise safely tank the its STAB attacks. Psychic Fangs also has the additional benefit of breaking screens, something which may hinder Growlithe-Hisui's wallbreaking. The final slot is flexible, with Rock Blast offering a lower power alternative to Head Smash, but with better accuracy and more PP (i think the better argument for rock blast is popping weak armor with a terad vullaby). Stealth Rock allows Growlithe to serve as role compression on offensive teams to fit hazards, and Sleep Talk lets it sponge Spore from Foongus and still pose a threat. Tera Fire provides a stronger Flare Blitz to power through other bulky checks like Mudbray and the aforementioned Mienfoo.
