Kobaan's Arcanine form, also known as Blast Dog/Hound, is a imitation of arcanine that Kobaan unlocks during one of the dark periods in his life and just as well, it serves him tremendously with it's explosive fire power, breaking him out of a prison cell and a prison as follows. When he charges the form up, his explosion turns blue and allows him to make bigger explosions.

The form is also massive, being 10ft to 12ft in height.

Kobaan lives in a pokemon world which has a ongoing war going on between various pokemon factions, hence the strife. He is the unlikely hero of his own story and possibly that world. Again, "Unlikely" being the emphasis. Kobaan is much too tender and kind and dorkish to commit to such a task on his own, but maybe with his powers and his friends...

Aswell as being a chunuki power, Kobaan's personality shifts with each form: Blast Hound has a explosive temper but also is incredibly loyal and faithful; it also has a tsundere side.

This is a new concept I thought up of Kobaan more resembling a tanuki with the ability to transform into imitations of pokemon. Not quite like zoroark's transformation ability, Kobaan's form are reminiscent of himself and comically imitate the original's form with powers of his own.

These forms also make Kobaan incredibly hungry and he must eat to sustain them as his calories/weight decreases drastically from being in a form too long, to turning to hamster size when the time limit of his giant form ( canon only ) times out.
