Appearance
Ninetales is a fox-like Pokémon that have nine tails, hence its name. They are mainly covered in a light, cream-colored fur, while the tips of their tails are orange. On top of their head is a large tuft of hair, similar to its pre-evolved form though much more unruly.

Generation I
Origins
Ninetales appears to be based on a fox.
Its name, Ninetales means nine tails for that it does have nine tails.
Trivia
- Ninetales is based off of the legendary kyuubi no kitsune of Japanese culture. When a Kyuubi gains its ninth tail, its fur changes from the dark red of a fox to white or golden. Hence the color change for the evolution.
- Ninetales are rarely ever male, like Vulpix.
- If you put a female Ninetales in the daycare with a male Pokémon that knows Energy Ball, the hatched Vulpix will know Energy ball.
- Vulpix and Ninetales were the only Fox Pokémon, until Zorua and Zoroark were released.
- Nintales in the Game Boy Advance games didn't have the orange coloring on the tip of its tails.
- In the Game Boy Advance games, shiny Ninetales' didn't have blue coloring on the tip of its tails, like its normal coloring.
- Ninetales was mistakenly misspelled as "Ninetails" for the number of tails it possessed. This misspelling is also on the trading cards.
- In the Pokédex, it is said that those who grab one of Ninetales's tails, they get cursed for 1000 years.
- It is more than likely based off of the Japanese folktale of nine-tailed fox demons.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeons Blue and Red, the Gengar was an original human that grabbed one of Ninetales tails and was cursed into the form of a Gengar. Also the Gengar, before it turned into Gengar, had abandoned it's Gardevoir, but the Gardevoir had no regrets, it loved its trainer enough to protect it from Ninetales's fury.
- Though it is based off of a fox demon, it may also be based off of the cat-o-nine-tails, which is a whip. It as well has a few(but not many) traits that resemble cats.
- Ninetales is one of the few Pokémon that possess more than one tail.
- Ninetales could be considered Arcanine's counterpart.
