Ninetales (12/102) from the Base Set is a Fire-type Stage 1 Pokémon card that evolves from Vulpix. With 80 HP and a single Colorless energy retreat cost, it features a classic design by Ken Sugimori and is classified as a Holo Rare. The card is available in multiple print runs, including 1st Edition, Shadowless, and Unlimited, with the 1st Edition variant being the most valuable. Its elegant, nine-tailed fox appearance and prominent placement in the original Pokémon TCG set make it a staple for collectors and fans of vintage cards.

.The card’s two attacks, "Lure" and "Fire Blast," offer both utility and offensive power. "Lure" allows the player to switch an opponent’s Active Pokémon with a Benched one, enabling strategic plays and setting up for knockouts. "Fire Blast" deals 80 damage but requires discarding one Fire Energy attached to Ninetales, making energy management crucial. Its weakness to Water-type Pokémon and lack of resistance are typical for early Fire-types, balancing its mid-tier stats and abilities.
