    I've been reading around threads and it seems no one is questioning how alolan vulpix will evolve. Regular fire type vulpix evolves with a fire stone but that doesn't really fit now that it is an ice type. Do you guys think they will change the evolution method and if so how? Will it be through level up at an ice location in the game, will it still be a fire stone, or do you think they will come up with something new like a new stone or a held item?
     
    We haven't had a proper evolution stone introduced since 4th Gen so I feel an Ice Stone may seem unlikely. I could instead see a new item that's used to evolve Alola Forms of Pokemon with stone evolutions, like the aforementioned Ninetales and Exeggutor.
     
    I was thinking maybe level up while holding an icy rock. As for exeggutor i think it would keep the leaf stone as it is still a grass type
     
    Use the Ice Rock. Would be nice for another Pokemon other than just Eevee to use it.

    It'll probably be a location-based evolution. Think something like Magnezone, except apply it to Alola Vuplix.

    See but that becomes a different problem because if location based then we would have to have a regular vulpix but vulpix is already ice type that would make the location based evo pointless

    That depends entirely on whether or not regular vulpix is even available in the region, in which my speculation pretty much rested on the assumption that it does. If you catch an Alolan Vulpix, it's not outside the realm of possibility to imagine just training it in the snow capped mountains until it evolves. It is, for all intents and purposes, a different Pokemon entirely than the regular Vulpix, it seems.

    Or, we can finally use NeverMeltIce and put that to good use to make Vulpix evolve by holding it. That can act as a psuedo Ice Stone, anyway.

    NeverMeltIce would be nice too but i just highly doubt the location based evolution part due to the fact we have an alolan vulpix. If they were to allow regular vulpix to evolve into alolan ninetales then with that logic alolan vulpix could evolve into regular ninetails with a fire stone and i highly doubt that would be possible
     
    Having a new evolution stone would be awesome, since he haven't gotten a new one in so long. However, it it will probably be an existing item, like the rest of you have mentioned- NeverMelt Ice, maybe a Shiny Stone...

    But I feel like making it the same evolution method as Glaceon would be the best. Having to travel to one lone stone for one Pokemon seems kind of unfair. I feel that the trip to the icy stone would be more worthwhile if it could be used to evolve Glaceon AND the Alola Nintetales. Not that just Glaceon isn't worth it <3
     
    Shiny Stone would be possible, considering two of the Pokemon that evolve with it are Fairy-types, while Roselia is part of the Fairy egg group.
     
    An Ice Stone would be pretty cool, as we haven't had a new evolution stone for quite some time and for the most part I like the idea of evolving Pokemon with a stone as it gives the trainer complete freedom to choose the timing of the evolution. Unfortunately, I think it's most likely to be location based, with an Ice Rock or something but oh well :/
     
    I think maybe there will just be a stone that will evolve Alolan Forms that normally evolve with certain stones.
