Vulpix, the adorable Fire-type Fox Pokemon, is a sought-after companion for many trainers in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Its unique abilities and potential for evolution make it a valuable asset in battle.
To capture Vulpix, you’ll need to explore the depths of the Grand Underground. This vast subterranean world is home to various Pokemon, including the elusive Vulpix. You can add this fiery friend to your team with patience and exploration.
This guide provides detailed information on Vulpix’s location, abilities, and evolution in Pokemon BDSP.
Pokemon BDSP Vulpix Location
Catching this Fire-Type fox Pokemon is tricky, and there is over 24.8% chance of getting it with a regular Pokeball. Similar to many other Fire Pokemon, Vulpix is commonly found within the hideaways of Grand Underground.
Before you begin your search, ensure you have an Explorer Kit to access the Grand Underground and National Pokedex to see Vulpix in your inventory.
How to Catch Vulpix?
There is a slight caveat when adding Vulpix to your Pokedex. Unfortunately, Vulpix is only available in Pokemon Shining Pearl. If you own a Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, you must trade with someone with a copy of Shining Pearl to get Vulpix.
After acquiring National Pokedex, head over to the Grand Underground hideaways mentioned below or any other fire/lava zone and start searching. If you don’t see it, exit and re-enter the room to reset the spawns. Repeat this process until you find Vulpix.
