Lore

Why it matters

As a Fairy-type card from the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos, this Alolan Ninetales serves as a distinct example of the transition period in the Pokémon Trading Card Game when Fairy types were still a core element of the meta. Collectors prize this promotional release for its unique regional variant artwork, which highlights the elegant shift in aesthetic that characterized the Alola region’s debut.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Alolan Ninetales SM128 card was released in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. It was originally distributed as an inclusion within the Alolan Ninetales Figure Collection, a retail box set designed to capitalize on the popularity of the Alolan regional variant introduced in the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games. The design features a serene, crystalline aesthetic typical of the Fairy-type Alolan Ninetales, reflecting the icy, mystical lore of the character.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose work has defined the visual language of the franchise since its inception. In this piece, Sugimori emphasizes the creature's graceful, flowing mane and elegant posture to highlight its unique Fairy/Ice typing. Within the collecting community, this promo card is often sought for its specific foil treatment and its role in completing subsets of the Sun & Moon era, as it was a fixed inclusion rather than a randomized pull from a booster pack.
