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. | Like many of Brock's Pokémon, Vulpix received very little screentime compared to the Pokémon of other main characters.
