Vulpix (ロコン, Rokon) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Origin
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.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Alolan form of Vulpix is one of its two forms that appear in Ultimate. Once summoned, it will attack fighters with a move resembling 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.
