Strategy Overview

Vulpix is quite an underrated threat in Little Cup. It can reach a maximum of 17 Speed, outpacing a good portion of the metagame. While Vulpix often faces fierce competition with its Fire-type brethren for team positions, it does possess some notable advantages, such as having access to Energy Ball and Hypnosis. Play with Vulpix's key points to their peak and you will surely have a frightening fox in your hands.
