Collector Insights

Ninetales is a Fire-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: "Lure," which costs two Colorless energy and allows the player to switch the Defending Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, and "Fire Blast," requiring four Fire energy to deal 80 damage while discarding a Fire Energy card attached to Ninetales. The card has no resistances and is weak to Water-type attacks multiplied by two. Its design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it belongs to the Base Set 2 series, released in February 2000. The card’s flavor text suggests a cunning and vengeful nature, with a warning about the potential curse of handling its tails. Ninetales carries a rarity of Rare Holo and is numbered 13 in its series. The card’s thematic color scheme aligns with its Fire-type identity, reflecting a warm and intense aesthetic.

Very smart and very vengeful. Grabbing one of its many tails could result in a 1,000-year curse.
