Vulpix @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drought
Level: 5
EVs: 52 HP / 196 SpA / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Weather Ball
- Overheat
- Energy Ball
- Hypnosis
Unlike its web browser counterpart, LC's Firefox has seen a surge in usage as a sweeper. With a Choice Scarf, Vulpix outspeeds most of the metagame and scorches everything that does not resist a Drought-boosted Weather Ball or Overheat. Energy Ball offers strong coverage, hitting Rock- and Water-types that try to switch into a Fire-type move, while Hypnosis can take a foe out of the game. Knock Off support from Mienfoo and Vullaby is vital to set up for a late Vulpix sweep, since it can struggle to break through Porygon and Mareanie otherwise. Entry hazard removal from Staryu is also appreciated, giving Vulpix more opportunities to shine during a match. Be careful to avoid letting Vulpix be revenge killed by trappers such as Trapinch and Wynaut; Trace Porygon makes for a good teammate that can countertrap both of them for Vulpix.
