5 facts about this card
This holo feels extra personal because Ninetales itself was originally created by Atsuko Nishida, and Expedition #21 is also illustrated by Nishida, giving the card a rare creator-drawing-her-own-Pokémon appeal.
Ninetales #21 comes from Expedition, the September 15, 2002 set that launched Pokémon’s English e-Card era, making it part of the final Wizards of the Coast chapter and the first set built around e-Reader compatibility.
Its attack pairing is wonderfully on-theme for Ninetales lore: 'Mislead' plays into the fox’s mystical trickster image, while 'Ethereal Flame' turns stacked Fire Energy into a dramatic burst that feels worthy of a holo rare.
Collectors love that this card’s mystic aura matches Ninetales’ anime legacy, since the species starred in the original series episode 'A Tale of Ninetales,' one of the earliest stories to frame it as an elegant, almost supernatural Pokémon.
Ninetales debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue and was version-exclusive in Blue, so early fans often remember it as a Pokémon you had to specifically seek out or trade for—adding an old-school prestige that carries into vintage cards like Expedition holo #21.
