5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Ninetales is one of the original English Rare Holos from the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion, giving this card a true first-generation collector pedigree.
Artist
This card’s artwork is by Ken Sugimori, the artist who finalized Ninetales’ original game design, so the holo feels especially close to the Pokémon’s earliest official look.
In-Game
Ninetales debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue and was version-exclusive to Blue, which adds extra nostalgia to seeing it elevated as a holo in Base Set.
Card History
Ninetales was memorable enough to earn a spotlight in the anime, with official references noting a TV episode centered on the species’ mysterious presence.
Card History
Base Set Ninetales is famous among vintage collectors for a corrected-error variant: some Shadowless copies were printed with Fire Blast missing its damage value.
