As the game features many new Pokemon, some of them are tricky to evolve. One of them is Applin, if you don’t know how to evolve Applin, you can head here. Apart from this, players can also teach ‘Flamethrower’ move to Ninetales at just Level 10.
But before that, players are required to catch Vulpix and keep that in mind that it is Sword exclusive Pokemon. If you are playing Shield version of the game, you need to make a trade. Players can catch Vulpix on Route 3 in Sword & then they need firestone to evolve the Vulpix into Ninetales.
Players can actually teach ‘Flamethrower’ move to Ninetales by visiting any Pokemon Center, and by finding any Move Tutor. Since Vulpix did not had the chance to learn the move during its evolution so the tutor can help Ninetails remember the move Flamethrower.
By teaching ‘Flamethrower’ move, players can make their Ninetales really powerful. Players can also use this trick for some other Pokemon who missed to learn a move during their evolution through stones. If you don’t know how to catch Vulpix, you can check the video down below.
