This elegant Pokémon is the Alolan regional variant of the classic Fire-type Ninetales and evolves from Alolan Vulpix. Unlike its Kanto counterpart, which is based on a kitsune, Alolan Ninetales draws inspiration from arctic foxes and snow spirits. Its natural habitat is high, snowy mountains like Mount Lanakila in the Alola region, where it lives in small packs. Alolan Ninetales is known for its graceful movements and its ability to create ice crystals to protect itself and its young. Its diet primarily consists of berries and small prey found in its icy environment. In the games, it is prized for its Aurora Veil ability, which reduces damage from attacks. In the anime, it has appeared as a companion to characters like Lillie, showcasing its gentle yet formidable nature. Its unique dual typing provides excellent defensive capabilities against Dragon-type Pokémon, while its Ice typing gives it an advantage against Grass, Ground, Flying, and Dragon types. The Alolan variants, in general, represent a fresh take on beloved Pokémon, offering new strategies and lore.
