Provenance

Where it came from

The Ninetales card numbered 029/197 was released as part of the Obsidian Flames expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in August 2023. As part of the Scarlet & Violet series, this set was notable for introducing Tera Pokémon ex cards with unique type-shifting mechanics, though this particular Ninetales remains a standard Fire-type entry representing the generation nine era of the hobby.

The illustration was crafted by artist Ryota Murayama, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG aesthetic. Murayama chose a dynamic, fluid pose for Ninetales, emphasizing the elegance and mythical nature of its nine tails against a stylized, minimalist background. The card is widely appreciated by collectors for its clean, modern composition that highlights the character's traditional design within the context of the newer card layout.
