Vulpix
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.
Boosts evasion in hailstorms.
Boosts evasion in hailstorms.
Summons hailstorm when switched in.
Evolution Chain
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. This was a feature that was added specifically to Polished Crystal. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Professor Elm.
