The Best Dog Pokemon

We’re ranking the best Pokemon that are inspired by dogs, wolves, foxes, and other canines. Some Pokemon may prefer to fly, while others like to stick to the sea. These Pokemon like to run on all fours. Whether they look like everyday house pets or mythical creatures, these powerful Pokemon are known for being some of the fastest (and cutest) canines around.

From Growlithe, Vulpix, Umbreon, and Poochyena, this list of dog Pokemon features characters from every generation. While you’ll likely recognize most of these characters, there are probably a few you haven’t seen before. Which of these four-legged Pokemon do you prefer? Raikou looks like he’s able to move at super fast speeds, and Jolteon's always ready to zap you if you get out of line.

Vote up the best dog-like Pokemon. And if your favorite four-legged friend is missing, add them to the list.
