CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

The legend of Ninetales goes back to nine sages said to have joined together to bring it into being. Its nine tails add to this mysterious aura, and the Pokédex credits it with a very long life. It understands human speech but does not easily forget an insult. Grabbing one of its tails could even bring a lasting curse. Behind this Pokémon's elegance lie intelligence, memory and ancient beliefs.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Ninetales can use flickering flames to hypnotise its prey before catching it, according to Ultra Moon. Fire is not only used to burn: its movement becomes a way to divert attention. This tactic explains why an encounter with this Pokémon calls for wariness of both its gaze and its flames.
