Like many of Brock's Pokémon, Vulpix received very little screentime compared to the Pokémon of other main characters. Brock was often seen {{pkmn|groomer|grooming and pampering}} it when it was featured. 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.

Vulpix battled under Brock's ownership for the first time in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It easily defeated Team Rocket with a Flamethrower, earning the attention of a [[Yas Gym]] recruiter.

During the [[Princess Festival]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Brock lent Vulpix to {{an|Misty}} for the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] as she 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 battled [[Miki]]'s {{p|Skarmory}} in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]''. Its Flamethrower was dodged by Skarmory via {{m|Agility}}. Vulpix attempted to outrun Skarmory with its own speed, but Skarmory used {{m|Steel Wing}} on Vulpix, rendering it [[Fainting|unable to continue battling]].

Brock later met up with Suzie again in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' and returned Vulpix to her. He said at the time that he had always felt that Vulpix wasn't really his and was just looking after it for a time. Brock and Suzie later entered the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]] as partners, with Vulpix being their Pokémon of choice for the event.
