Pokédex entries

Vulpix

Red
Blue
At the time of birth, it has just one tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older.
Yellow Both its fur and its tails are beautiful. As it grows, the tails split and form more tails.
Gold As it develops, its single white tail gains color and splits into six. It is quite warm and cuddly.
Silver If it is attacked by an enemy that is stronger than itself, it feigns injury to fool the enemy and escapes.
Crystal As its body grows larger, its six warm tails become more beautiful, with a more luxurious coat of fur.
Ruby At the time of its birth, VULPIX has one white tail. The tail separates into six if this POKéMON receives plenty of love from its TRAINER. The six tails become magnificently curled.
Sapphire Inside VULPIX’s body burns a flame that never goes out. During the daytime, when the temperatures rise, this POKéMON releases flames from its mouth to prevent its body from growing too hot.
FireRed While young, it has six gorgeous tails. When it grows, several new tails are sprouted.
LeafGreen When it is born, it has just one snow-white tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older.

Alpha Sapphire Inside Vulpix’s body burns a flame that never goes out. During the daytime, when the temperatures rise, this Pokémon releases flames from its mouth to prevent its body from growing too hot.
Sun Its beautiful fur and tails have made it very popular. As it grows, its tails split to form more tails.
Moon From its mouth spew flames that seem to resemble the spirits of the deceased. Some people mistakenly think this fire is a ghost.
Ultra Sun Its beautiful tails have made it very popular. However, if it’s not brushed diligently, it will be a mass of tangles before you know it.
Ultra Moon It manipulates balls of fire to catch its prey. If you raise one from when it’s young, it will grow close to you like a puppy Pokémon.

Brilliant Diamond
Shining Pearl

Legends: Arceus In its belly burns a fire, which Vulpix spits out in the form of fireballs. When young, this Pokémon has but one white tail. As the Pokémon matures, this single tail splits into six.

Alolan Vulpix

Sun It exhales air colder than -58 degrees Fahrenheit. Elderly people in Alola call this Pokémon by an older name—Keokeo.
Moon In hot weather, this Pokémon makes ice shards with its six tails and sprays them around to cool itself off.
Ultra Sun If you carelessly approach it because it’s cute, the boss of the pack, Ninetales, will appear and freeze you.
Ultra Moon They live together in a skulk, helping one another. Before eating their prey, they freeze it solid with their –58 degree Fahrenheit breath.
Let's Go Pikachu
Let's Go Eevee
It looks like snow come to life, and the breath it exhales is –58 degrees Fahrenheit. Another name for it is Keokeo.
Sword After long years in the ever-snowcapped mountains of Alola, this Vulpix has gained power over ice.
Shield If you observe its curly hairs through a microscope, you’ll see small ice particles springing up.
Legends: Arceus These Pokémon live in packs in the snowy mountains and defend themselves with icy breath. I suspect this species changed its form to adapt to the frigid climate.
