Well that and the game is too easy, as usual, but I feel like I shouldn't commit to that take until I beat the game. And it's a kids game so whatever.

Admittedly with Arceus at least, if they are god, having multiple independent bodies running around seems entirely possible.

I choose to believe that is true for all the cosmic level Legendary Pokemon.

Arcanine is a shisa so it could go either way, but oddium already said they didn't count it.
Lucario is a jackal.

Slurpuff is a dog, drat
Zygarde is technically a dog-shaped pile of worms (but really I just forgot Zygarde has multiple forms)

Nearly every cat Pokemon use "Meow" and "Purr" in their English names or "Nya" in their Japanese one.

Hyenas are feliforma, but if we're counting that as a 'cat', then Furret, Ursaring and Spheal are all 'dogs'.

OK well I’m talking about Poochyena, who looks like a dog, walks like a dog, barks like a dog, and has “pooch” in its name.

At some point of my Ultra Sun playthrough I had a piece of paper/receipt/whatever on top of the second screen because the fucker never shutted up and I couldn't tune out the text. I wish someone had told me before I started the game that if you don't interact with Rotom at all in the first few hours, he basically stays mute most of the time. Would have made the experience so much better.
