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 a Benched Pokémon with the Defending Pokémon, and Fire Blast, requiring four Fire energy to deal 80 damage while discarding a Fire Energy card attached to Ninetales or nullifying the attack. The card has no resistances and is weak to Water, which deals double damage. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, it belongs to the Legendary Collection set released in 2002. The card’s flavor text highlights its intelligence and vengeful nature, warning that capturing one of its tails could lead to a severe curse. Ninetales is numbered 17 in the set and classified as a Rare Holo card. Its theme color is a warm amber, matching its Fire typing.

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