I’ve seen my friend have it without hacking, So I’ve searched and it gets it by breeding but non of the Pokémon that get it are in the (field) breeding group.
My question is how do I get freeze-dry on an Alolan vulpix ?
And this is for USUM so I can't use glaceon or eiscue.

You must chain breed to get Freeze Dry on a Vulpix. Two Pokémon can pass Freeze Dry down, Swinub and Delibird. The thing about that is Swinub gets Freeze Dry from Delibird as well, so it’s easier to just use Delibird. To get a Delibird with Freeze Dry, you’ve got three options. Swinub, Vulpix, and Lapras. So this means that you would need a Lapras. Then, you need an Aurorus to get Freeze Dry onto Lapras. It learns Freeze Dry at level 1.

So, in conclusion, you need to do quite a bit of breeding.

Hope this helps! :)

Alolan Vulpix gets Freeze-Dry by breeding with Glaceon or Eiscue. Glaceon learns it at level 40, and Eiscue learns it at level 36
Hope I helped!
Edit: This is true for SWSH only!

sorry but i forgot to mention this is for USUM !
You can get Glaceon in USUM by evolving Eevee, or from the GTS
Glaceon doesn’t get Freeze Dry in Gen 7.

Smeargle can Sketch 2 moves.
Get into a double battle at the Gamefreak headquarters in Heahea city.
Have a Pokemon that knows freeze-dry next to smeargle.
Use freeze-dry against opponents and then use sketch on your teammate.
This will make smeargle learn Freeze-dry. You can repeat steps for MoonBlast since it's also an egg move and it deals more damage than Dazzling Gleam. Once you got both moves just start breeding for your special Vulpix. I recommend a Snow warning one since it pairs well with Aurora Veil. Give it an icy rock for longer lasting hail

That’s not how breeding works…..
What part of this answer is incorrect?
Smeargle and Alola Vulpix are both in the Field group and Freeze-Dry and Moonblast are both egg moves for Alola Vulpix in Gen 7.
Never mind. I tend to be an idiot. I thought the Pokémon breeding needed to have the egg move, not the baby Pokémon.
