Josie used Growlithe in its debut in The Rescue Operation!, where she and Josie's Klang rescued Jon and herself included from a cage after they were abducted by Lusamine, it battled against the Aether Foundation employee's Golbat and won without breaking a sweat, but when Faba showed up with his Hypno and more Aether Foundation employees, she tried battling them and Faba but lost. In The Battle For The Chosen 128, she was revealed to have evolved into Arcanine sometime before the Alola League where it battled Lilly's Pyukumuku and won with a little bit of difficulty.
She used Arcanine again where it was shown to have learned Attract and Flare Blitz in a full battle with Mark, but Attract failed to work due to Purugly being female, confirming Josie's Arcanine's gender to be female, but it drew with Purugly after a Flare Blitz/Giga Impact collision.
