5 facts about this card
Card History
Blaine's Ninetales stands out in Gym Challenge because it is a non-holo Rare numbered 21/132, giving collectors a memorable Blaine chase card outside the set’s headline holos like Blaine's Charizard and Blaine's Arcanine.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon art director whose card work gives Blaine's Ninetales that unmistakable early-era WotC character-portrait feel collectors instantly recognize.
Card History
Blaine did use a Ninetales in the anime episode "Riddle Me This," so this card connects directly to his on-screen Cinnabar Gym team rather than being a TCG-only pairing.
In-Game
Blaine is the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader known as "The Hotheaded Quiz Master," and his Fire-specialist identity makes a card like Blaine's Ninetales feel perfectly rooted in the classic Kanto games.
Cultural Impact
Ninetales has always carried a mythic aura in Pokémon, with in-game lore and related stories tying it to long-lived curses and mystical power, which gives Blaine's Ninetales an extra layer of legend beyond its battlefield stats.
