Provenance

Where it came from

Released in June 2004 as part of the Hidden Legends expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Ninetales card marks a period where the franchise was navigating the transition from the Wizards of the Coast era to in-house management by The Pokémon Company. The set was thematic, focusing on the mysterious geography of the Hoenn region, and this card was designed to highlight the fire-type capabilities of the generation three Pokémon.

The card features artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most recognizable figures in the history of the game. Arita’s approach for this piece emphasizes Ninetales' elegant, fox-like mystique, utilizing a clean, balanced composition that aligns with the refined design aesthetic of the early 2000s sets. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike for its consistent playability and the classic, evocative portrayal of the character.
