The Best Fox Pokémon Ranked [Best to worst!]

Eevee

No list of the best fox Pokemon would ever be complete without Eevee! Although this Pokémon has evolutions resembling cats, many consider Eevee and the Eevee family to be fox Pokemon.

Eevee is a secondary mascot for the Pokémon franchise and with its simplistic yet cute look and its many different evolutions it's easy to see why! Eevee has evolutions which evolve using the different kinds of evolutionary stone and even evolutions which require it knowing moves of a certain type.

A seriously versatile Pokémon, Eevee is beloved by fans and by the Pokémon Company itself. This Pokémon is a regular on all kinds of different merch, in the anime, in advertising and everywhere else you’d expect to see Pokémon.

Eevee is the best ambassador for fox Pokémon.

Few other fox Pokemon can reach the towering heights of popularity enjoyed by Eevee, which got it a spot on this list of the best Pokémon of all time. For that reason it's definitely the best fox Pokemon of all time.

Zoroark

Zoroark, which evolves from fox Pokémon Zorua, is a Dark type Pokémon which is able to cast illusions.

Zoroark and Zorua's Ability Illusion allows them to appear as a different Pokémon when first encountered in battle.

With a menacing and seriously cool design, Zoroark has appeared in the Super Smash Bros. franchise as a playable character, as well as many times in the Pokemon anime. Few Pokémon are as popular as Zoroark.

With its appearances in the Pokémon anime, including in miniseries Hisuian Snow, the Trading Card Game, and the games, Zoroark is a fan-favorite. Its powerful abilities, great design, and major popularity combine to give Zoroark the penultimate spot on this listing.

Hisuian Zoroark

Zoroark was given its very own Hisuian form in Pokemon Legends Arceus. This fox like Pokemon was redesigned and given the intriguing type combination of Normal/Ghost! Fans of interesting type combinations might enjoy this list of the best type combinations!

Zoroark retains its signature Illusion Ability in its Hisuian form along with its ability to cast illusions. But Pokemon Legends Arceus drops some seriously sad new lore about Zorua and Zoroark's type changes in this new (old!) region.

This fox like Pokemon might be the newest entry to the franchise's foxy monsters, but it was an instant favorite! Hisuian Zoroark more than deserves its top three spot on this listing.

Alolan Ninetales

With a cool and sophisticated redesign, Alolan Ninetales found its way into the hearts of many Pokémon fans after its introduction in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

This Alolan form of Ninetales evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an Ice Stone. An Ice/Fairy dual-type Pokémon, Alolan Ninetales comes with a new Ability, Snow Cloak and Hidden Ability Snow Warning. With an immunity to Dragon type moves, Alolan Ninetales carves itself out a new niche from its Kantonian form.

Ninetales's glow-up into Alolan Ninetales catapulted it right into the ranks of popular Pokémon and won it a spot on this list of the best Fairy types, and its top four spot on this list of the best fox Pokemon is well-earned.

Delphox

Delphox is the stick wielding fox that serves as the final form of Fire type starter Pokémon Fennekin.

With robe like fur and a design resembling a humanoid witch, Delphox is a popular Pokemon with some pretty powerful moves like Fire Blast and Psychic and even Ghost type move Shadow Ball.

This fox inspired Pokémon is a take on the tradition of Japanese folklore witches. Its Hidden Ability, Magician, takes the theming even further!

Delphox with its quirky design, strong thematic touches, and its popularity in and out of battle beats other Pokemon to earn its top five spot on this listing!

Ninetales

The original form of Ninetales, Kantonian Ninetales is famous for its nine tails and elegant look.

A Pokémon based on a real world animal, Ninetales takes its inspiration a step further and injects a bit of Japanese folklore and Japanese culture into its design with its clear theming around the kitsune fox.

Evolving from Vulpix when exposed to a Fire Stone, Ninetales in its Kanto form is a pure Fire type Pokémon. With a good Speed stat Ninetales makes a fast Special Attacker.

Fennekin

Fennekin is a cute little fox Pokemon gifted to players in Pokémon X and Y. This little Pokémon with its fluffy ears and cute appearance was an easy choice for many players.

A pure Fire type Pokémon, Fennekin evolves into Braixen and Delphox which are both western witches and a take on Japanese folklore witches.

Although Fennekin can't compete with some of the other Pokémon on this list, its cuteness wins it a spot over some other fox Pokemon. Fans of starter Pokémon might enjoy this list of the best starter Pokémon!

Alolan Vulpix

The Alolan form of Vulpix, Alolan Vulpix has a fresh new design and a cool new typing to go with it! Introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, this fox Pokémon was an instant favorite.

An Ice type Pokémon, Alolan Vulpix evolves into Alolan Ninetales when exposed to an Ice Stone!

With all the cuteness of its Kantonian form as well as a new type and access to a raft of new moves, Alolan Vulpix is a majorly popular Pokémon beloved by fans.

Its cool look and fresh take on a well-loved Pokémon sees A-Vulpix beat its Kantonian form to its spot on this list!

Vulpix

The first fox Pokemon introduced, Vulpix is one of the cutest fire type Pokémon in the entire franchise. A pure Fire type Pokémon in its Kantonian form, Vulpix is a favorite fox Pokemon of many players.

This cute Pokemon has been featured many times in the Pokémon franchise, including in the anime, in the Trading Card Game, and of course in the many games of the series.

This popular Pokemon was also given a regional form in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Thievul

Introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield, Thievul is a strong take on the red fox. One of the newer fox Pokémon, Thievul has a distinguished design which leans heavily on its criminal theme.

This Dark type Pokémon is the evolved form of Nickit, and comes with the Unburden Ability which boosts its speed in battle after using a held item.

One of the newer fox Pokemon, Thievul might not be at the top of this list, but it definitely deserves a spot!
