• Little Cup:Ember Weather Ball Body Slam

🧸 Little Cup – You’d think an unevolved Pokémon with a max CP of 998 would not have any play in PvP. However, Vulpix is actually one of the best Pokémon for the 500 CP Little Cup formats. Vulpix has just the perfect stat spread for those leagues, being more bulk-oriented while still having respectable attack stats. Not only that, as a Fire-type, Vulpix is strong against some of the biggest threats you typically see in these formats, such as Bronzor and Cottonee.
To achieve this, you’d typically run either Quick Attack or Ember as a fast attack and Weather Ball for your charged attack. Even neutrally, Vulpix can do very well in these leagues with Body Slam as a secondary attack. Since Pokémon don’t have that much bulk in these formats, even Body Slam can do more damage than you’d typically think it would do.

🔵 Great League – With a max CP of 998, Vulpix is not strong enough for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League – With a max CP of 998, Vulpix is not strong enough for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League – With a max CP of 998, Vulpix is not close to being strong enough for the Master League.
