My alolan ninetails recently had babies and one of the babies has red fur on the tuff of his chest. I named him Speckles in honor of the red coloring but does that mean he is part fire type? do i have to treat him different than his other siblings?

Very occasionally, Alolan vulpix will be born with spots of red fur due to a slight genetic abnormality, anonymous. However, rest assured that the genes for fur color are not linked to the ones that control elemental affinities in most pokémon, and as such, the difference is purely aesthetic in nature. Your vulpix kit is still an ice-type, and you won’t have to treat him any different than his siblings.
