Collector Insights

Ninetales is a Fire-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It belongs to the XY series, released in the Primal Clash set on February 4, 2015. The card’s ability, Barrier Shrine, prevents both players from playing Stadium cards from their hands. Its sole attack, Flickering Flames, costs two Fire and one Colorless energy to deal 70 damage and induce sleep on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. Ninetales has no resistances but is weak to Water, dealing double damage. The card’s flavor text describes it as a cunning and vengeful creature, with a warning about the curse that may follow handling its tails. Artist Kanako Eo designed the illustration, and it is numbered 21 in the set with a Rare rarity. The card’s design reflects its thematic ties to fire and its strategic role in gameplay.

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