Overpowered Pokemon
If you could add one live to your favorite pokemon to make it overpowered what would it be? For me it’s easy. Belly drum. Guess what my fav is now!

For Vulpix and Ninetales? Oof honestly that's a tough one. For the species as a whole, id probably advocate for a base stat bump to bring it back to where it was in Generation 1: +15 to Special Attack for Vulpix, +19 to Special Attack for Ninetales. This would take it from 505 Base Stat to 524, giving it 100 Special on both like it enjoyed in Generation 1 and why it was superior to Charizard from a Fire type perspective. Char may have had a better movepool(especially in Yellow compared to Red/Blue with Fly) but my Fox has similar Speed and 15 points on Special(Char's advantage was slightly better HP, Attack and Defense with Flying typing to avoid Ground. Little did that do for Ice(x2 because Gen 1 Fire doesn't resist), Electric(x2) and Rock(x4 although Rock Slide was rare).
When Gen 2 dropped, Char got a 24 point boost to Special Attack(taking it from 510 to 534 where it is now and Mega adds another 100 BST along with Type/ability changes) while Ninetales got nerfed from 524 to 505(guess they couldn't have a starter be weaker). Yet if they're going to use that argument, then why did they buff Arcanine? Arcanine was at 535 in Gen 1(so higher than Charizard and Ninetales) and goes to 555(again higher than Charizard) by adding 20 to Special Attack(and has a broken Intimidate ability to boot). Arcanine and Ninetales are tied to the hip because they're version exclusives in Red/Blue and Fire Red/Leaf Green so I'm like.. the bleep man, why the middle finger to my Fox?
Next change is to give my Foxes a 2nd Ability. To me Ninetales is generally a Drought setter but when she isn't, Flash Fire has a niche use and really isn't viable save in Doubles with Friendly Fire or a luck swap into a Fire attack. So for a new ability I'd make it take Normal moves and turn it into Ghost damage. So Tera Blast would basically be like having a Ghost Tera without having to do it. For Alolan Ninetales, shed get Refrigerate or the Normal to Ice equivalent.
Finally I'd add Fairy to Kanto Ninetales. It warrants a 2nd Typing and should mirror its Ice counterpart.
All of these changes wouldn't make my Fox OP but she'd be way stronger than she is now.

It has EQ already? Also why CC when it has Brick Break or a really good Fighting move to begin with?

Brick Break destroys screens so Prankster support mons get wrecked by it. Char has EQ in both SV AND Z-A so I don't understand how it doesn't have it? You also don't need 120 power Fighting moves to deal gobs of damage either. 75 is more than adequate for coverage.

simple. Here ya go, Morpeko. Take this magical fluffernutter. It will max out all of your stats. And take this milk, too. It doesn’t do anything except prevent you from choking on the fluffernutter.
