Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2020 as part of the base Sword & Shield expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this Ninetales card marks the transition into the eighth generation of Pokémon. It was produced to showcase the series' expansion into the Galar region, reflecting the game's updated art style and the integration of new mechanics that defined the tabletop experience during the early 2020s.

The artwork was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing contributor to the franchise known for his clean, expressive style. In this iteration, Ninetales is depicted in a dynamic pose that highlights its elegant, flowing tails and fire-type characteristics, capturing the creature's classic allure while aligning with the high-definition aesthetic standards of the modern Sword & Shield card sets.
