Vulpix-Alola @ Light Clay
Ability: Snow Warning
Level: 5
EVs: 56 HP / 200 SpA / 240 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aurora Veil
- Blizzard
- Moonblast / Hidden Power Ground / Hidden Power Fighting
- Freeze-Dry
Alolan Vulpix is the most effective Aurora Veil setter in the metagame thanks to its ability in Snow Warning to summon hail, along with its decent Speed and spammable STAB moves, which allow it to deal good amounts of damage to Pokemon that don't resist Ice, despite its low Special Attack. The coverage can vary between Moonblast to hit Fighting-types such as Mienfoo, Hidden Power Ground to hit Magnemite, and Hidden Power Fighting if the team struggles against Pawniard. It is important to know that Alolan Vulpix should always prioritize setting Aurora Veil over attacking, taking advantage of the additional dual screen turns to help its teammates set up. Alolan Vulpix works best on hyper offensive teams where setup sweepers such as Nasty Plot Vullaby, Zigzagoon, and Shell Smashers such as Shellder and Tirtouga take advantage of Aurora Veil to further boost their defenses in order to set up safely. However, Alolan Vulpix is frail and requires momentum to get in, which makes Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Magnemite valuable partners thanks to U-turn and Volt Switch.
