Provenance

Where it came from

The Ninetales card (38/106) was released in 2005 as part of the EX Emerald expansion, which was designed to tie in with the Pokémon Emerald video game for the Game Boy Advance. During this era, the Pokémon Trading Card Game was shifting toward the 'EX' mechanics, emphasizing powerful Pokémon-ex cards, though this particular iteration of Ninetales appeared as a standard uncommon card within the set.

The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a prominent artist in the Pokémon TCG community known for his expressive and dynamic style. Saitou captured Ninetales in a characteristically elegant pose, reflecting the creature's lore as a mystical and graceful Fire-type fox. The set itself was well-received by players of the time for integrating the Battle Frontier aesthetic from the video games into the card game's visual design.
