How To Evolve Vulpix Into Ninetales In Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus features many evolution trees, and Vulpix turning into Ninetales is certainly one of them. Here is how to transform the fox creature in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

To evolve Vulpix into Ninetales, you’ll need a Fire Stone to start the process. You can find them in multiple ways. This is the breakdown.

Help out your fellow trainers

Merit Points are one of the easiest ways to get a Fire Stone. Throughout the game, you’ll find missing satchels that you can pick up. You can find them on your map if you press the – button. These are from players who have failed and had their characters faint while exploring the open world. Once redeemed in the Lost & Found section of your menu (press ZR two times), you can earn typically around 50-100 points for every found satchel.

Get up to 1,000 merit points and redeem them at Jubilife Village. There’s a lady next to the Training Grounds on the right-hand side of it. You can also trade Pokémon at this location. She will give you a Fire Stone in exchange for your efforts. After this, you can use the Fire Stone on Vulpix to get Ninetales.

It’s time to head to space

As you venture out into the open fields of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Space-Time Distortions will randomly pop up from time to time. Like finding lost satchels, check your map with the – button. It would look like a white shuriken. Once inside the space-time distortion, begin to catch Pokémon to encourage the distortion to go into the next phase.

Once it turns more purple, you have a chance to find Fire Stones on the ground. Pick up whatever you can within 10 or so minutes before the distortion fades away. We’ve found Thunder Stones and Water Stones in these areas, but you may have to be lucky to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Destroy rocks

The third and final is the most unlikely place to find Fire Stones is by destroying rocks and crystals around the world but it can happen. Like normal, throw out your Pokémon near crystals to have it obliterate the material for you. It will then appear in your bag if you’re lucky in finding a Fire Stone.

Conclusion

Once you’ve found a Fire Stone, go to your satchel menu and select the Fire Stone. Attach it to the Vulpix to evolve it into Ninetales. Well done!

The best way to find Fire Stones to evolve Vulpix into Ninetales is through the Merit Points system. It won’t take you a long time if you’re efficient at picking up these satchels. They’re typically not hard to find. We’ve also covered on this website how to evolve Pikachu into Raichu if you’re interested.
