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

Vulpix
The normal form uses to attack, which manifests as a fireball attack similar to Ness's PK Fire. Unlike PK Fire, it does not need to hit an opponent to create a pillar of fire. It 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 (0.15 seconds). The fireball and fire pillar deals a bonus 1% shield damage.

Alolan Vulpix
This Pokémon freezes fighters with icy breath.

The n form uses 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 turn towards opponents before using Powder Snow. Also like its normal form the angle is random, though the attack's range is almost always the same 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.

Spirits
Both forms of Vulpix appear as spirits.
