I live in Kanto, and caught a Vulpix in the wild quite a while ago, and a friend from Alola recently traded me an Alolan Vulpix. They seem to be rather jealous of each other, and keep fighting over toys and food. I’m afraid my Kantonian Vulpix might hurt my Alolan Vulpix, any tips to keep them from fighting?

You may have introduced them to one another too quickly, anonymous. It may be prudent to start over by following similar steps outlined in this post (http://bills-pokedex.tumblr.com/post/159389928380/so-i-live-in-a-house-converted-to-two-apartments, or formal supervised introductions in which you place both vulpix in the same, comfortable room a fair distance apart, then work your way to a point where they can interact comfortably in close proximity to one another). As it stands, it’s very likely that your Kantonian vulpix is experiencing jealousy due to fear that it may be replaced, whereas your Alolan vulpix may be experiencing jealous because it considers the older vulpix competition for resources. If you provide both with equal amounts of everything (food, toys, and so forth) and work to introduce them slowly and through supervised play, perhaps reinforced with team building exercises, you may be able to alleviate some of the tension between them.

Best of luck, anonymous!
