This engraving on one of Arceus’ Plates has fascinated me for years. "The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate." Similar to how totem pokemon shrink in size after being captured in SM/USUM, or even how the Titan Pokemon shrink after they stop consuming the Herba Mystica in SV. It may be possible that once losing their “noble” title their size reverts back to a normal size for their species. We definitely know that they grow in size when becoming nobles, since the new Lord Arcanine grows from the smallest a Growlithe can be, to the largest an Arcanine can be, as well as the noble Avalugg, which has grown far past the boundaries of any normal Avalugg. This intentional inclusion must be significant especially with such a detailed oriented character such as Volo.Ī counter argument could be that Volo’s Arcanine is smaller than a noble Pokemon should be, however it may be true that noble Pokemon only maintain their size while they have their “Noble” status. There isn’t much evidence going for this idea besides the coincidence that the only Pokemon (besides Giratina, which he technically hasn’t captured) that Volo doesn't share with Cynthia is his Hisiuian Arcanine. The former lord Arcanine may have taken the opportunity to fake his own death and join Volo’s quest to defeat Arceus after seeing how cruel this world was to his son. While this is implied to be a ghost and ghosts of pokemon definitely do exist, (see the Marowak ghost in LGPE) I support a different idea. However, after the new Lord Arcanine is defeated by the player another Arcanine cry can be heard and you can see the former Lord Arcanine looking down at his son from atop the volcano. He assumes this title because his dad, the former Lord Arcanine, supposedly died while saving his son from drowning in a storm. If you have played PLA, one subplot that might have stood out to you was the small Hisiuan Growlithe evolving into the new Lord Arcanine in the Cobalt Coastlands. Finally this subreddit is back! Glad to see it here again and to discuss theories with people.
