Alolan Vulpix seem to differ greatly from Kantonian Vulpix. This goes deeper than just the difference in coat color and habitat. Alolan Vulpix seems to travel in packs as the lone Vulpix I came across earlier soon was joined by five others. Eventually a pair of alolan ninetales joined as well. I assume this is the alpha pair as they are greeted with licks and barks from the Vulpix but they never give direct eye contact as that would issue a challenge for pack leadership.

Alolan Vulpix though easily startled are not the type to run away they blow their icy breath and freeze the threat. As I observed when one backed up into a bush and they froze the branch instead of seeing what "attacked" them or running away and they're able to create icicle like stakes with their tails and deploy them with deadly accuracy.

I heard from my hosts the elders of Alola call the Vulpix keokeo. Alolan for white or spotless and definitely can't deny they're beautifully white and keep their beautiful coats spotless.

Due to my constant complaining of this alolan heat, we were brought on a trip to a mountain whose top is dusted on lots of lots of snow. Well dusted isn't the right word.. there's more than a few feet of snow covering the area. They call this mount lanakila, it's found on a separate island called ula'ula. Surprisingly enough there's plenty of trainers about all eager to battle, determine to become the very best there ever was. I guess Alola does have an elite four with how determine these trainers are.

Due to this I went off the trail to seek a more quiet spot where I can find some Pokemon to sketch and study. Luckily the snow makes this easy as everyone and everything leaves tracks.. well except ghost Pokemon and ghost period... Those chills are from the cold right?

The first set of tracks I come across are a Vulpix... Strange as Vulpix prefer heat.. didn't take long for me to be corrected as I saw the Vulpix but it was an alolan variants in the distance and its fur was white! Its eyes beautiful icy blue and it was stalking around, probably hunting around due to the scarcity of food. Vulpix and ninetales were always beautiful animals but certainly this alolan variant is even more beautiful!

Through out my first day at Paniola I I observed the fleece coats of the Mareeps easily doubling in size. At first I assumed their fleece grows quickly but to my shock ( pun intended ). When the Mareeps discharged any electricity their fleece coats shrunk back to "normal".

It seems Mareeps store static electricity in their fleece on top of their already normal electric typing. This is why Mareeps are commonly found in herds, they're able to rub up against each other to create and store static electricity, which is a solid defense against predators that get close with out wasting or consuming un-needed energy that their normal electric attacks would use up. Note to humans, don't go petting Mareeps you'll definitely get shocked too.
