Vulpix (ロコン, Rokon) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Vulpix
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
The original form of Vulpix is one of its two forms that appear in Ultimate. Once summoned, it will attack fighters with Fire Spin, which is similar to how Fennekin used Incinerate in Super Smash Bros. 4.

The Alolan form of Vulpix is one of its two forms that appear in Ultimate. Once summoned, it will attack fighters with Icy Wind, blowing a gust of chilling air towards their target, inflicting damage and temporarily freezing them once they come into contact with the attack, similar to the Ice Climbers' Blizzard.
Origin
from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
and Pokémon Sun and Moon respectively.
Vulpix is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue, though it was exclusive to Blue, acting as the equivalent to Growlithe. It evolves into Ninetales with the help of a Fire Stone.
Several Generation I Pokémon alternatively had Alolan regional variants, introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. They are adapted to a specific habitat differing from their origin region, requiring aesthetic and type changes — among those was Vulpix, exclusive to Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun, being reversely an Ice-type Pokémon and requiring an Ice Stone to evolve. An Alolan Vulpix nicknamed "Snowy" is featured in the Sun and Moon animated series as Lillie's first Pokémon.
Fire Spin is a Fire-type special move with 35 base power, 85% accuracy and the ability to trap and continue damaging the opponent for 4-5 turns. Vulpix is able to learn the move by reaching level 15.
Icy Wind is an Ice-type special move with 55 base power, 100% accuracy and the ability to slow down the target and any adjacent Pokémon's Speed stat by one stage. Alolan Vulpix is able to learn the move by reaching level 15.
