Vulpix For A Rank
Now, generally, Vulpix is thought as a 'good enough B rank sun support mon' and not much else. But I'm here to change that thinking, not only is vulpix arguablly the best poke to set sunny day with due to drought, it also makes sun offense pretty much viable.

Overall, it's impossible to switch into and supports the team very well, not only that it also has versatility between defensive and offensive sets.
you gotta pick one
