Vulpix was given to Brock by [[Suzy]] in the episode ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Suzy 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 {{m|Flamethrower}}, driving home the point that a focus on outer beauty could eclipse a Pokémon's inner strength. Impressed with the way Brock cared for [[Brock's Geodude|his Geodude]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Suzy 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 grooming and pampering it. | 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 grooming and pampering it. This let 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 meets the [[Eevee brothers]] in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' who are throwing an evolution party for their younger brother [[Mikey]] to evolve his {{p|Eevee}}. They offer Brock a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} to evolve Vulpix but he refuses, saying he doesn't want to force Vulpix to evolve if it doesn't want to. | ||
It was later seen in a Christmas special where it managed to get a stocking stuck around its head. | Brock lent it to {{an|Misty}} when she was competing in the [[Princess Day]] Festival in ''[[EP052|Princess versus Princess]]'' and wanted a more balanced team (Ash also let her borrow Pikachu and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} for the contest). It was seen defeating a {{p|Tangela}} with Flamethrower en route to the final. However, it was defeated easily by {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s {{m|Lick}}. | ||
Vulpix auditioned for the lead role in ''Pokémon in Love'', [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film, in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]''. However, it abandoned the stage once it became apparenty that the lead {{p|Wigglytuff}} was impossibly picky. | |||
Brock also used Vulpix to help Ash train sometimes, as in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', when it fought Pikachu in a training match, resulting in the two of them discovering the ruins of [[Pokémopolis]]. In this battle, it was revealed that Vulpix could use {{m|Quick Attack}}. When Brock decided to live at [[Professor Ivy]]'s Lab in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]], Vulpix resided there with him until his return in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. | |||
It was later seen in a Christmas special where it managed to get a stocking stuck around its head. Vulpix was the only of Brock's Pokémon cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and briefly fought its clone, before Mewtwo took all the clones away with him. | |||
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 Steel Wing on Vulpix, causing massive damage to Vulpix and knocking it out. | |||
Brock later met up with Suzy again in [[Johto]] and returned Vulpix to her in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', saying at the time that he had always felt that Vulpix wasn't really his and he was just looking after it for a time. | Brock later met up with Suzy again in [[Johto]] and returned Vulpix to her in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', saying at the time that he had always felt that Vulpix wasn't really his and he was just looking after it for a time. | ||
