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.
