Ninetales Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Artist
This card is illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, the same designer credited with creating Vulpix and Ninetales in the original games, which gives this Expedition print a rare full-circle connection between the Pokémon’s origin and its card art.
Set Lore
Ninetales #57 comes from Expedition Base Set, the first main expansion in the Pokémon e-Card Series, so it belongs to the landmark release that introduced the e-Reader dot-code era to the TCG.
Card History
Its Expedition attacks lean into classic Ninetales mystique: Mislead spreads Confusion while Ethereal Flame turns discarded Fire Energy into extra damage, making the card feel as tricky and supernatural as the fox spirit inspiration behind the species.
In-Game
Ninetales has deep early-series mystique because in Pokémon Red and Blue it was version-exclusive in a way that made it unobtainable in Pokémon Red without trading, adding to its reputation as a slightly elusive Kanto Fire-type.
Cultural Impact
Collectors often love Ninetales because its nine-tailed design draws clear inspiration from the Japanese kitsune tradition, giving cards like this one a mythic, folkloric aura that stands out in WotC-era binders.
