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 {{TRT}} 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. | Vulpix was given to Brock by [[Suzie]] in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.

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. | Vulpix battled under Brock's ownership for the first time in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

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.
