Vulpix (ロコン, Rokon) is a 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 in Red. Vulpix is categorized within the Pokédex at #037 as the "Fox Pokémon", and 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 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 Ice Stone to evolve. An Alolan Vulpix nicknamed "Snowy" is featured in the Sun and Moon animated series as Lillie's first Pokémon.

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

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Both Vulpix in its normal form and its Alolan form make their debut as a Poké Ball Pokémon in this installment.

Vulpix

The normal form uses Ember to attack opponents, which creates a fire pillar similar to Ness's PK Fire. Unlike PK Fire, it does not need to hit an opponent to create a pillar of fire. It attacks four times and 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 and will dissipate after 150 frames. The fireball and fire pillar deals a bonus 1% shield damage.

The Ember shot travels at 2.5 units per frame and will peter out if it doesn't hit anything after 60 frames. The fire pillar has an initial scale of 1.3 and shrinks by 0.003 every frame. If the pillar appears in midair, it will drop by 0.01 units every frame.

Vulpix has a spawn chance of 40/1463. It can be summoned on all stages in a standard versus match.

Alolan Vulpix

“ This Pokémon freezes fighters with icy breath. ”
—Super Smash Blog, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site

The Alolan form uses Powder Snow to attack, inflicting damage and temporarily freezing them once they come into contact with the attack, similar to the Ice Climbers' Blizzard. Like its normal form it will attack four times and turns towards opponents before using Powder Snow. Also like its normal form the angle is random, being 6°-13°. The Powder Snow initially moves at 1.3 units per frame but slows down by 0.07 each frame before reaching its minimum speed of 0.2 then dissipating after 48 frames The attack's range is almost always the same due to the small angle range, 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.

Alolan Vulpix has a spawn chance of 40/1463. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):

  • Cloud Sea of Alrest

Spirits

Both forms of Vulpix appear as Novice-class support spirits.

Vulpix's Spirit Battle uses a red Tiny Fox puppet fighter and is fought on Saffron City. Fox starts with a Poké Ball containing Vulpix.

Alolan Vulpix's Spirit Battle uses a purple Tiny Fox puppet fighter and is fought on Summit's Battlefield form. The stage is covered in fog, referencing Alolan Vulpix's Powder Snow move. Fox also starts with a Poké Ball containing Alolan Vulpix.

Trivia

  • Vulpix is the first Poké Ball Pokémon to appear alongside an alternative version of itself, being its Alolan Form.
    • It is the second Poké Ball Pokémon with multiple forms to appear in-game after Unown.
  • Kantonian Vulpix can be considered a "full clone" of Fennekin as a lot of it and its attacks' behavior and attributes are identical.
