Strategy & play
How Alolan Vulpix VSTAR plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Snow Mirage) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥120 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Alolan Vulpix VSTAR
- Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥120 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
