Vulpix, the Fox Pokemon

There are 2 ways I've found to make a Vulpix work, I'll take it one at a time. First, the offensive build.

Energy Ball
Inferno
Extrasensory
Hex

As a Fire-type, Vulpix can fight off all his weaknesses with a Grass-attack, hence the Energy Ball. Inferno, though it lacks accuracy, will always Burn the foe, which means Hex will do double damage to the foe. Extrasensory can make the enemy flinch, which is nice. Between all these moves, this guy will be super-effective against 11 of the 17 types. To get this build, you need to follow this process;

1) Teach a male Smeargle Energy Ball, Inferno, Extrasensory, and Hex.
2) Get a female Vulpix to learn Hex(if you catch them at the Abundant Shrine in Generation IV games, chances are they'll already know Inferno)
3) Breed the male Smeargle and the female Vulpix to get the offspring with these 4 moves as its starting moveset. A good nature would be one to lower Attack.

I know you're probably concerned about the low accuracy of Inferno. While it is low, remember that 50 means it will still hit half the time. Considering it will Burn the target if it hits(recall Burn causes the enemy to lose HP over time and also cuts their Attack stat in half), do excellent damage, and allow your Hex to be stronger(recall Hex has excellent accuracy), it is worth the risk.

But for those of you still concerned with the accuracy because you don't take risks, here's a more defensive build;

Hypnosis
Hex
Disable
Ember

I know, Ember is not strong. Well, it will be replaced with the Dream Eater TM once it is evolved via the Fire Stone. This build is set at immobilizing your target by disabling its attacks and putting it to sleep. Its damaging attacks are best used when the foe is sleeping.

The breeding process is the same for the other Vulpix, except that the Smeargle only needs to know Disable, Hynosis, and Hex, and the Vulpix does not need to know Inferno.

Either build is acceptable, it all depends on your playing style. Comments and ideas on either build are welcome as always.

Brock out.
