What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard 2 Fire Energy cards from your hand. If you do, switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon.
It is vindictive and relentless by nature. Those who cross it even once will be cursed for a thousand years, along with their descendants.

Where it came from
The Ninetales card from the 2019 Team Up expansion reflects a period in the Pokémon Trading Card Game where the focus shifted toward the introduction of TAG TEAM GX cards. This specific iteration of the Fire-type Ninetales was included as part of the base set lineup, serving as a tactical Rare card that players often utilized for its ability to manipulate energy placement within deck archetypes of the era.
The illustration was crafted by artist Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic for many years. Saitou employed a dynamic, flowing style for this piece, capturing the fox-like elegance of the creature amidst a swirl of elemental energy. The design was intended to emphasize the mystic nature of Ninetales, providing a sharp, high-contrast visual that stood out among the busier, more cluttered art styles common to the Sun & Moon era.
