Ninetales [No Damage] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Base Set Ninetales is famous for an error variant where a small number of copies were printed with Fire Blast showing no base damage, making the "No Damage" version one of the most talked-about oddities in early Pokémon TCG collecting.
In-Game
In the American Game Boy Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Base Set Ninetales was accidentally listed as "Ninetails," a quirky localization mistake that gives the card extra nostalgia for veteran players.
Artist
The card’s artwork is by Ken Sugimori, the franchise’s original art director, which gives this holo the classic early-Pokémon look collectors instantly associate with the hobby’s first era.
In-Game
Its Fire Blast attack is lifted straight from the video games, where Ninetales can learn Fire Blast, tying the card directly to how the Pokémon fought in the main series.
Set Lore
Because Ninetales appears in the original Base Set—the first main Pokémon TCG expansion and the only set with no set symbol—this holo is part of the hobby’s foundational checklist.
