CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Vulpix’s silhouette changes as it grows. The young Pokémon has only one white tail; this later splits to form the six tails that make it so recognisable. Its beauty tells a story of maturation. A fire in its belly also lets it produce balls of flame, giving this carefully groomed appearance real power.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Reheat lets this Vulpix discard up to two Energy from its hand, then draw two cards for each. Exchanging one Energy gives two cards; two give four. Confuse Ray, its other attack, deals 20 damage and may Confuse the Defending Pokémon on heads.
