Vulpix was given to Brock by [[Suzie]] in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Suzie was Brock's idol, and Vulpix took a liking to him, which was surprising, as the little Pokémon had a very snobbish nature. It even liked Brock's homemade [[Pokémon food]]. It drove away Team Rocket with a very powerful Fire Spin, driving home the point that a focus on outer beauty could eclipse a Pokémon's inner strength. Impressed with the way Brock cared for his {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Suzie decided that Brock might be able to take better care of Vulpix than she could.

Like many of Brock's Pokémon, Vulpix received very little screentime compared to the Pokémon of other main characters. When it was featured, Brock was often seen {{pkmn|groomer|grooming and pampering}} it. This led to events in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', where Misty offered to [[trade]] her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} for Vulpix, being sick of her Psyduck's headache and annoyed at Brock's compliments of Vulpix. Later the group met the [[Eevee brothers]] in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' who were throwing an evolution party for their younger brother [[Mikey]] to evolve his {{p|Eevee}}. Pyro of the Eevee Brothers offered Brock a [[Fire Stone]] to evolve Vulpix, to which Brock declined, stating that he didn't want to force Vulpix to evolve if it didn't want to.

During the [[Princess Festival]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Brock lent it to {{an|Misty}} when she decided to compete in the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] and wanted a more balanced [[Party|team]]. It was seen defeating a {{p|Tangela}} with Flamethrower en route to the final. However, it was defeated easily by [[Jessie's Lickitung]]'s tongue attack.

Vulpix auditioned for the lead role in ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film, in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]''. However, it abandoned the stage once it became apparent that the lead {{p|Wigglytuff}} was impossibly picky.

As with Brock's other Pokémon he received in [[Kanto]], Vulpix has shown very little personality. It is very temperamental and wary towards new people, as seen when it used Flamethrower on {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Suzie explained that Vulpix doesn't like being touched by strangers.
Vulpix proved to be a rather particular Pokémon. It quickly took a liking and was affectionate towards {{an|Brock}}, who was often seen {{pkmn|groomer|grooming and pampering}} it. Though Vulpix was very temperamental and wary towards new people, as seen when it used Flamethrower on {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. [[Suzie]] explained that Vulpix doesn't like being touched by strangers. This was further showcased in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', when it left the stage because a {{p|Wigglytuff}} was not to its liking. Despite its cute exterior, Vulpix possesses a lot of power, which was showcased on a few occasions.
 
It was also shown to be quite snobbish in its debut episode by not taking a liking to most people. This was further showcased in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', when it left the stage because a {{p|Wigglytuff}} was not to its liking. However, it is very trusting of Brock, and in later episodes, Brock was seen grooming it while all of the group's Pokémon were out. Brock once said that Vulpix is like the supermodel of the [[Pokémon world]].
