About Ninetales Ninetales is the evolved form of Vulpix and retains its Fire-type classification as the Fox Pokémon. This Pokémon is larger and more majestic than its pre-evolved form, Vulpix.

Its Fire-type moves give it an advantage against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel-type Pokémon, but it is weak against Water, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon.
