Read more ↓Alolan Ninetales is an Ice/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. Unlike its Kantonian Fire-type counterpart, Alolan Ninetales adapted to the cold, snowy peaks of Mount Lanakila, developing a pristine, white fur coat and an elegant, ethereal appearance. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix, which, according to Alolan lore, descended from a group of Vulpix that migrated to the snowy mountains and adapted to the harsh environment. Alolan Ninetales is known for its graceful movements and its ability to create blizzards with its nine tails, often appearing to people as a sacred messenger or a benevolent deity of the mountains. Its diet consists of berries and other plant life that can survive in extreme cold, and it is known to protect Alolan Vulpix from danger. In the games, Alolan Ninetales is a popular choice for its unique typing, which offers strong defensive capabilities against Dragon, Fighting, and Dark types, while being weak to Fire, Steel, Poison, and Rock. Its role in the anime often highlights its protective nature and its connection to the mystical elements of the Alola region, further solidifying its cultural significance as a guardian spirit.
