Hey there, Bill! I recently did some crossbreeding between my female Alolan Ninetails and a male Ninetails from out of region, the two are getting along great and their first clutch hatched, with no visible health problems. I have a permit and everything is current, and when the pups where old enough I sold them for profit, but kept one, Lago, and he seems to have some type crossing as well. He’s very handsome, but how would you recommend caring for a Fire/Ice type? I want him to be comfortable.

This is surprisingly fairly easy, anonymous. A vulpix exhibiting unusual typing still requires the same basic care as literally any other vulpix; it’s just that they’re also tolerant to a wider range of temperatures than normal for either subspecies. In other words, you don’t have to go to extraordinary lengths to house or care for vulpix like yours. They’ll be just fine at room temperature. But it’s a good idea to discern which type it most closely battles like, as a true fire/ice vulpix doesn’t really exist when it comes to its abilities, and understanding your vulpix’s true type is important for development.

Also, as a disclaimer, while it’s true some breeders try to breed these sorts of vulpix intentionally (as they’re easier to care for), such crossbreeding carries with it risks of mutations that are unviable for life, so only do it if you know what you’re doing (and can do so in ethical conditions, of course).
