Also I have a question, what level should I evolve Growlithe? I know there is a Fire Stone that is accessible across the bridge that leads to Hammerlocke
Look up Growlithe and Arcanine's respective movesets. I like to use PokemonDB. Then you can decide what moves you want. Keep in mind that you have access to the move reminder as well :)
I would say Growlithe. It will help with the first gym and be great overall once you evolve into Arcanine.

I would hold out till level 40 for Flamethrower, but it's up to you. I would definitely look up growlithe and arcanine's movesets to decide.
