Vulpixin Pokémon Polished Crystal
Pokédex Entry
Fox Pokémon
If you observe its curly hairs through a microscope, you'll see small ice particles springing up. Just like Ninetales, Vulpix provides Drought support. The plain form also will provide ghost support when evolved so a Fire Stone whenever you're ready. Energy Ball is a great option for a move that covers Water-types, great for teams that rely on the sun. The Alolan form is a pure Ice type, so the coverage is a bit different. They both do have weather moves however, with the Alolan form having Snow Warning as a hidden ability which will set up hail.
