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

Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts Ninetales sitting gracefully against a shimmering starry night sky, its nine golden tails fanning out elegantly, radiating an aura of mystical power and serene confidence in the dark landscape.
Playability Overview
Ninetales offers strategic disruption with Lure but its reliance on discarding energy for Fire Blast limits sustained offensive potential in competitive play.
