@Black Waterfall What Perch said. Its hard to use any other Pokemon that is weak to Electric on a rain team, especially considering Tapu Koko is on nearly 1 in 3 teams, and Zapdos is on 1 in 5.
Also, 4HKOs don't cut it in VGC's Doubles format. The other Pokemon is attacking too, and we need 2HKOs and OHKOs.
And yes, Arcanine is not viable in VGC18. Burn Up is awful in Doubles, because you lose that Fire STAB in a world of big hitters, especially if you plan to use it in rain. Landorus and soon-to-be Incineroar trump it.
