Eviolite Hisuian Growlithe is an amazing wallbreaker that trades the immediate speed of Choice Scarf sets for more utility options and the ability to switch moves, boasting powerful attacks that can 2HKO almost any foe without the drawback of recoil. Stealth Rock helps rack up passive damage on opposing Pokemon, while Flame Charge is sometimes chosen for a more offensive approach to make up for Hisuian Growlithe's middling Speed. Will-O-Wisp helps punish common switch-ins like Mienfoo and Mudbray, while Substitute is a safe way to scout for switches and catch Sucker Punch from opposing Pawniard and Stunky. Tera Fire boosts Flare Blitz's damage, allowing it to 2HKO offensive Mudbray, and removes Hisuian Growlithe's weakness to Fighting, while Tera Flying turns Hisuian Growlithe's weaknesses to Ground and Fighting into resistances.
Hisuian Growlithe enjoys VoltTurn support from teammates such as Mienfoo and Hisuian Voltorb, which in turn enjoy Hisuian Growlithe's ability to nuke Pokemon like Foongus and Pawniard. Landing a Will-O-Wisp on prominent physical attackers like Mienfoo and Mudbray is greatly appreciated by setup sweepers such as Shellder, which appreciate not taking as much damage on setup turns. Hisuian Growlithe struggles with Pokemon that can resist its STAB moves and KO it back such as Mienfoo and Glimmet, so it pairs well with trappers like Gothita and Trapinch that can remove them.
