(Japanese: '''シロン''' ''Shiron'') is an {{alo|Vulpix}} who was raised by {{an|Lillie}} as an {{pkmn|Egg}} and is the [[starter Pokémon|first]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} she obtained.

==History==
[[File:Lillie Egg.png|thumb|left|250px|Shiron's Egg]]
In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', [[Samson Oak]] revealed two Eggs to the students of the [[Pokémon School]]. While one Egg was received from {{an|Professor Oak|his cousin}} from the [[Kanto]] region, the other was found on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He decided to give the class an assignment to raise one of the Eggs and offers to let them choose between the two. {{an|Mallow}} suggested that {{an|Lillie}} should choose one of the Eggs and raise it, as it would potentially help her get over her inability to touch Pokémon. Lillie agreed and chose the one from Mount Lanakila, as she preferred it over the other one. She would eventually name the Egg Shiron, a name it would retain once it hatched.

After class ended, Lillie and {{Ash}} traveled to Lillie's home in order to take care of the Egg. While they traveled, a wild {{p|Salandit}} managed to sneak onto Lillie's limousine in an attempt to attack the Egg. Later, when Lillie was alone in her room, the Salandit revealed itself and attacked the defenseless Egg. Despite her fear of Pokémon, Lillie instinctively shielded the Egg from harm, protecting it long enough for Ash and [[Hobbes]] to send Salandit flying. After Salandit had ran away, Lillie realized that she had managed to touch the Egg without any trouble, but was still unable to touch regular Pokémon.

In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', the Egg hatched into an {{alo|Vulpix}}. In the [[SM014|next episode]], Samson Oak assigned the students to raise Shiron, and the students agreed that Lillie should keep it. Lillie {{pkmn2|caught}} Shiron despite her fear of Pokémon. On the day of its hatching, Lillie and Shiron spent much of the day bonding while walking in [[Hau'oli City]]. They went into a Malasada donut shop, where Lillie had Shiron try some different donuts. When they left the shop, they were challenged by {{TRT}}. Shiron defended Lillie, first using {{m|Powder Snow}} to freeze a sidewalk to slow them down, then using Powder Snow to neutralize {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. When a second Sludge Bomb blew Shiron off a rooftop, Lillie jumped off after it and caught it. The two were saved by {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Rowlet}} with {{m|Leafage}}. Shiron then froze Team Rocket with Powder Snow, and they were taken away by {{an|Bewear}}. Lillie had no issue holding Shiron from that point on, though she was still afraid of other Pokémon.

In [[SM022]], Shiron helped buy time for Ash and {{AP|Litten}} when they were swallowed by a {{p|Palossand}}. It used Powder Snow to freeze Palossand whilst {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} searched for its lost shovel.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Lillie and Shiron.png|thumb|right|250px|Shiron and Lillie]]
After Shiron first hatched, it was a very reserved Pokémon that didn't want to interact with anyone else but {{an|Lillie}}. When {{Ash}} tried to interact with it, it promptly [[Freeze (status condition)|froze]] him. Although it was newly hatched, it didn't hesitate to attack {{TRT}} when they chased it and even froze them, despite Ash preparing to fight them himself with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. By the end of ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it warmed up to the Pokémon owned by its Trainer's friends and was willing to play with them.

==Trivia==
* Shiron was alluded to being Lillie's in the poster of the {{series|Sun & Moon}} and in the [[Alola!!|first opening]], where its Egg appeared briefly being held by her.
* Shiron is the first [[regional variant]] owned by a main character.
* Shiron is the third Pokémon owned by a main character to have a nickname, after [[Caserin and Luverin|Misty's Caserin]] and [[Growlie|James's Growlie]].
** {{cat|Episodes written by Akemi Omode|Akemi Omode}} mentioned on {{wp|Twitter}} that Shiron was given a [[nickname]] to distinguish itself from [[Samson Oak#Vulpix|Samson's Vulpix]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/omodeakemi/status/829716525053464580 Omode's tweet] (Japanese)</ref>
* Shiron is the only Pokémon that hatched from an Egg whose hatch and capture were featured in different episodes.
* She is also the first one to hatch from an egg in the Sun & moon anime, not counting Rowlet who hatched in a flashback
