I love the concept but this Pokemon is still way too bulky overall. -10 to both defensive stats would probably make it more feasible to break, but even then 150/79 special bulk is pretty absurd (for reference, Alomomola has 165/80 and is an incredible physical wall) so I advocate for further reducing the special bulk.
The Storm Drain/Water Absorb (which is it?) sets seem much worse than Transistor sets right now. A secondary STAB is just worth a whole lot more than an immunity to an existing resistance. I would recommend either boosting attack (curse+flip turn with that speed is also a bit of a ??) and giving it some better physical options or giving it a better ability to compete with Transistor.
Conceptually balanced, just objectively overpowered at the moment. Tough Claws sets hit way too hard while Intimidate sets are incredibly bulky, so I think a straight nerf to all of Arcanine's stats (except for speed, I guess) is the way to go here.
Just way, way too bulky. Wish+Flip Turn with that HP and Regenerator is also very concerning. Cut the bulk down significantly (for reference, your current bulk is roughly equal to 100/95/120. Something like 100/70/90 is still quite bulky with regenerator in this metagame).
I would remove Nasty Plot just to make sure that it doesn't overshadow Parting Shot sets.
Just a tad too bulky all around in my opinion. Consider shaving off 10-15 HP or so
Pretty crazy bulk for an offensive pivot that boasts one of the best defensive typings in the game. Nerf the bulk significantly, I have no issues with a slow+bulky offensive pivot but this is just too defensively potent for how strong it is.
Also feels a bit overstatted- It can easily run a Meteor Beam sweeping set to abuse the fact that it has absurd special bulk. Reducing the HP and especially removing Recover (Pain Split works well enough for a mon like this) is probably the way to go here.
Technically it would get Tail Glow because it is its signature, but it doesn't matter either way. Fine sub

This looks wip but regardless, the stats+movepool on this just looks like a lot to handle for anything that isn't solrock. Attack is probably the stat to shave down. Cutting Pyro Ball is also a way to nerf it and not have to reduce the attack as much.
Sick concept, just think it is too bulky overall when we account for the free 1/8th hp per turn (even with the bad typing). Cut down on the bulk.
Spectral Flee is insanely broken. It's essentially a Teleport with none of the downsides, so it needs to be either replaced or significantly nerfed (reduce damage by half instead of full protect, for example). It's also probably worth it to drop Nasty Plot here as that seems quite potent compared to pure pivot sets.
Even with the poor attack 120 BP Grav Apple goes very hard, so I would recommend slightly reducing attack.
