Charizard flies over Earthquake which wrecks so many Fire types. Charizard can be pretty mean once Blaze kicks in. In the case of physical Charizard, Flare Blitz with Blaze active after some Dragon Dancing is painful, but when you HP is that low, I'm not sure you really want the recoil. Be wary though, with Stone Edge and Rock Slide all over the place, it's not very safe for Charizard. There's also Stealth Rock...

Arcanine is very nice, but has the Earthquake issue. Sunnybeaming may deter it, somewhat. It's more defensive than Charizard and has more HP, so Flare Blitz (physical route) seems more reasonable. Thunder Fang can also be handy.

Ninetales is meh, but and Earthquake. It's got excellent speed though. You also need to take note of Nasty Plot which can help that sort of low S.ATK (81). A (Wide Lens?) Hypnosis, do some Nasty Plotting and then deal out some pain. If you went with Wide Lens, Fire Blast becomes even more reliable. Energy Ball can help with some water types. I'm not sure how to breed Energy Ball and Hypnosis on a Vulpix though, if possible. Switching into a fire attack (Flash Fire) gives Ninetales the boost it needs to really cause trouble. Without that, it's kind of meh.
I prefer Charizard.Cool
i prefer charizard because i dont like pokemon like arcanine that has such a big disadvantage to earth type move and can lose with just an earthquake.!its total nervebreaking!

Charizard has larger movepool,but has problems with Stone Edge and Rock Slide.
Arcanine has smallere,but more usable movepool.
Think Fire FAng,Thunder Fang,Extreemspeed and Body Slam.
Charizard is unaffected by Earthquake. What's better than that?
Lol. It's been months since I last answered this topic.....I'm feeling like an oldy Toungue
Charizard of course dont compare Charizard with a weak fire type compare it with something stronger like blaziken.
i also think Charizard is better, but i like Arcanine the most.
Well, Charizard is better because he has immunity to ground attacks.
I'd say arcanine because as you said it has better stats and sometimes stats can be more important than moves. So i say arcanine
arcanine!!! i love arcanine its stats rock it has a usefull movepool and it is the overall best ever
I prefer Charizard more than Arcanine because it can learn flying moves.Arcanine can learn dark-type moves as crunch and bite but i think flying-type moves are more useful and powerful(some of them)than dark ones.(such as fly->more useful than crunch)Arcanine might learn other type-moves too but i still like Charizard because of its character.
So,i voted for Charizard.
I'm going with Charizard,its the pokemon i like the most in the whole game....
Charizard is a good weapon of choice. It has Belly Drum and can use it very effectively. It also has a vast physical movepool and all the Elemental Punches at its diposal.

It's another favorite of mine too :].
