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. 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 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}}. They offered Brock a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} to evolve Vulpix but he refused, saying he didn't want to force Vulpix to evolve if it didn't want to.

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 apparently 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}}.

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.
