Ninetales (Japanese: キュウコン Kyukon) is a Fire-type pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Vulpix when exposed to a Fire Stone.
In Alola, Ninetales has a dual-type Ice/Fairy regional form, Alolan Ninetales. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an Ice Stone. These Ninetales can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.
In the Alola region, Ninetales have a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest and the lower halves of its legs are white. The crest on its head is longer, and its nine tails are less distinct. Additionally, it has larger blue eyes and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.
Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped Mount Lanakila, which some consider holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle and calm temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of Vulpix. Those who anger it will be frozen stiff in an instant. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock. They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. As mentioned in pokémon Sleep, Alolan Ninetales can be seen sparkling in its sleep while it bathes the area around it with powdery snow.
