[[Category:Fire-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation I Pokémon]] [[Category:Yellow Pokémon]] Ninetales (キュウコン Kyukon) is a Fire-type Pokémon and is the evolved form of Vulpix. Vulpix evolves into Ninetales by being given a Fire Stone.

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.

Additionally, there are no gender differences between male and female Ninetales. The shiny version of Ninetales have silver-gray fur instead of its usual light cream fur, and its tails are tipped in blue.

Special Abilities

All Ninetales have the ability Flash Fire, which powers up its Fire-type moves if it is hit by a fire-type attack. It also keeps it from getting damaged by fire attacks.

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.
