'''Vulpix''' ({{ja|ロコン|Rokon}}, ''Rokon'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.

{{pkmn|Vulpix}} is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Blue}}'', though it was exclusive to ''Blue'', acting as the [[bulbapedia:Game-exclusive Pokémon|equivalent]] to {{pkmn|Growlithe}} in ''Red''. Vulpix is categorized within the Pokédex at #037 as the "Fox Pokémon", and it evolves into {{pkmn|Ninetales}} with the help of a {{iw|bulbapedia|Fire Stone}}.

Several {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}} Pokémon alternatively had Alolan {{iw|bulbapedia|regional variant}}s, introduced in ''Pokémon Sun and Moon''. They are adapted to a specific habitat in Alola, differing from their region of origin, Kanto, requiring aesthetic and type changes — among those was Vulpix, exclusive to ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Ultra Sun'', inversely becoming an Ice-type Pokémon and requiring an {{iw|bulbapedia|Ice Stone}} to evolve. An Alolan Vulpix nicknamed "{{iw|bulbapedia|Snowy}}" is featured in the [[bulbapedia:Sun & Moon series|''Sun and Moon'' animated series]] as {{iw|bulbapedia|Lillie|anime}}'s first Pokémon.

The Kantonian Vulpix uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Ember|move}}, a damaging Fire-type move, while Alolan Vulpix uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Powder Snow|move}}, a damaging Ice-type move that hits all adjacent opponents in a double or triple battle.

===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===

Both Vulpix in its normal form and its {{iw|bulbapedia|Alola}}n form make their debut as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in this installment.

 

====Vulpix====

The normal form uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Ember|move}} to attack, which manifests as a fireball attack similar to [[Ness]]'s [[PK Fire]]. Unlike PK Fire, it does not need to hit an opponent to create a pillar of fire. It will turn towards an opponent before using Ember. It will randomly fire at an angle between 5°-25° downwards, causing it to sometimes land near Vulpix or far away. Ember will deal 4% if the shot makes contact with the opponent and then 2% every 9 frames (0.15 seconds). The fireball and fire pillar deals a bonus 1% [[shield damage]].

====Alolan Vulpix====

The {{iw|bulbapedia|Alola}}n form uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Powder Snow|move}} to attack, inflicting damage and temporarily [[Frozen|freezing]] them once they come into contact with the attack, similar to the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[Blizzard]]. Like its normal form it will turn towards opponents before using Powder Snow. Also like its normal form the angle is random, though the attack's range is almost always the same making the randomness not as impactful as it is with Ember. Powder Snow's size gets slightly bigger as it moves and will deal 14% at the start, 13% from frames 3-6, 11% from frames 7-9, then drops down to 2.5% for frames 10-14, 2% from frames 15-19, 1.8% from frames 20-29, and finally 1.2% until the cloud dissipates.
