So what determines an ice Vulpix? Is it the Alola region itself?

fuck

We don't know it. The game isn't released yet.

As far as we know, all vulpixs will be in alola form. To get normal vulpixs, you will probably have to trade or use pokemon bank.

>So what determines an ice Vulpix?
It's typing and colouring

>Is it the Alola region itself?
Yes, didn't you read the annoucement?

>If you bring over a fire Vulpix and breed with an ice Vulpix do you get ice or fire?
Think of breeding Nidoran male with Nidoran female, I believe it's going to be the same concept

>If the region is the determining factor, do you get ice Vulpix when breeding a fire Vulpix and Ditto in Alola?
With a ditto the offspring will probably be the same form as the parent

>>27660272
Probably determined by female parent, as has been the norm since Gen2.

oh okay. I didn't know if there was any additional info in the moon runes

>>27660272
The local population adapted to the region, think of it like a separate dog breed.

All vulpix and ninetales in SM will be alolan. when you transfer an old one from a previous generation it automatically mutates into the alolan version. fire ninetales is no longer a thing.

prove me wrong
protip, you cant because GF has released literally zero information on the mechanics involved, nobody knows shit, you fucktard

How could we now? we have to wait until the game releases or until they decide to give us the answer, but I see two possibilities:

Possibility No. 1: If an egg is born in the region it will have the regional form

Possibility No. 2: The forms are like a just a specific breed, and if you breed two normal ones you would get the normal one, same with the new form, and if you breed a normal one with an Alolan form one, we will have 50% chance (like Plusle and Minun).

Those are the two possibilities I imagine.

But there's an Alolan Meowth, and we can see a regular Meowth in one of the trailers.

>>27660407
oh! Good point. I didn't even consider that.

>>27660407
meowth works different because it was bred intentionally and vulpix adapted to the environment. tadaaa. we can say anything we want because nobody knows for sure how it works.

>>27660272
It'll be determined by the female like it did for moves and hidden abilities prior to gen 6.
