As a result of its Drought ability, Vulpix has a niche in the NFE tier as a sun supporter and is a staple on sun teams. In addition to Drought-boosted Weather Ball to punish Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, it has access to Memento, which allows its teammates to safely switch in. Encore allows Vulpix to prevent opposing Pokemon from setting up or grant itself and its teammates free turns by temporarily locking Pokemon such as Duosion or Lampent into an unfavorable move. Toxic can be used to cripple bulky Pokemon such as Vullaby and Galarian Corsola. Sunny Day can be used to help ease playing around sun turns against the rare Hippopotas by replacing sand after it switches into Vulpix. Solar Beam can also be used instead of Toxic to threaten Water-types like Palpitoad and Wartortle; however, the coverage isn't necessary due to Vulpix's weak Special Attack stat and Grass-type teammates being able to provide that coverage.

Vulpix should be used to set up the sun. As a result, Charmeleon, Raboot, Chlorophyll Tangela, and Chlorophyll Gloom are good teammates for it. Vulpix can use Memento on slower attackers such as Machoke and Piloswine to allow the aforementioned Growth sweepers to set up safely. Vulpix and other Fire-type teammates get worn down by Stealth Rock very easily, so Pokemon such as Hattrem and Vullaby are good teammates, as they prevent or remove Stealth Rock through Magic Bounce and Defog, respectively. Vullaby can also use U-turn to allow Vulpix and its teammates to switch in safely. Fire-types like Lampent and Carkol are troublesome for Vulpix and sun sweepers alike, so they should be targeted with teammates such as Piloswine and Wartortle, the latter in particular being able to take advantage of Weather Ball to target its would-be checks like Ferroseed and Roselia.

As a result of its Drought ability, Vulpix has a niche in the NFE tier as a sun supporter and is a staple on sun teams. In addition to Drought-boosted Weather Ball to punish Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, it has access to Memento which allows Vulpix’s teammates to safely switch-in powerful wallbreakers such as Chlorophyll Growth Tangela and Solar Power Charmeleon (this section should more so be about vupkix, and you list these examples below; i have a comment about where u can move this to and elaborate on) . Encore allows it to prevent opposing Pokemon from setting up or grant itself and its teammates free turns by temporarily locking Pokemon such as Duosion or Munchlax Lampent into an unfavorable move (VR relevancy). Toxic can be used to cripple bulky Pokemon such as Vullaby, and Corsola-Galar. (Mention Solar Beam can be opted over Toxic to threaten Water-types like Palpitoad and Wartortle, although the coverage isn’t necessary due to Vulpix’s weak SpA and Grass-type teammates already providing that coverage)

Vulpix should be used to set up the sun so Pokemon such as Charmeleon and Chlorophyll Tangela that take advantage of sun support (fluff, already implied by the next part that these are sun sweepers) can break through walls. As a result, Charmeleon, Raboot, Chlorophyll Tangela and Chlorophyll Gloom are good teammates for it. (mention here that Vulpix should use memento on slower attackers like Machoke and Piloswine so that the aforementioned Growth sweepers setup safely) Vulpix and other Fire-type teammates gets worn down by Stealth Rock very easily, so pokemon such as Hattrem and Vullaby are good teammates as they prevent or remove from the field Stealth Rock through Magic Bounce and Defog respectively. (Mention that opposing Fire-types like Lampent and Carkol are troublesome for Vulpix and sun sweepers alike, so target them with teammates like Piloswine and Wartortle, and how the latter appreciates the use of Weather Ball to target its would-be checks like Ferroseed and Roselia.)

QC 1/2, I tried beefing it up in some areas that I thought were crucial to Sun teams, but otherwise good job!

Toxic can be used to cripple bulky Pokemon such as Vullaby, and Corsola-Galar. note sunny day here and how it helps ease playing around sun turns & helps vs the rare hippo. Solar Beam can be used instead of Toxic to threaten Water-types like Palplitoad and Wartortle, however the coverage isn't necessary due to Vulpix's weak SpA and Grass-type teammates being able to provide that coverage.

Vulpix should be used to set up the sun so Pokemon such as Charmeleon and Chlorophyll Tangela can break through walls. still mostly fluff, you don't need to mention examples when they're in the next sentence, just saying vulpix is used on sun is enough. As a result, Charmeleon, Raboot, Chlorophyll Tangela and Chlorophyll Gloom are good teammates for it. Vulpix can use Memento on slower attackers such as Machoke and Piloswine to allow the aforementioned Growth sweepers to setup safely. Vulpix and other Fire-type teammates get worn down by Stealth Rock very easily, so pokemon such as Hattrem and Vullaby are good teammates as they prevent or remove from the field Stealth Rock through Magic Bounce and Defog respectively add that vullaby also has u-turn, slow pivots are nice. Fire-types like Lampent and Carkol are troublesome for Vulpix and sun sweepers alike, so they should be targeted with teammates such as Piloswine and Wartortle, the latter in particular being able to take advantage of Weather Ball to target its would-be checks like Ferroseed and Roselia.

Looks good, but don't forget to remove the comma after Vullaby in this sentence.

"Toxic can be used to cripple bulky Pokemon such as Vullaby, and Galarian Corsola."
