==Biology==
==Biology==
This fox-like, quadruped Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has nine, long tails, each tipped with pale orange. There is a fluffy crest atop its head, and a small mane around its neck. Ninetales has gleaming red eyes that are said to give it the ability to control minds. Its ears are pointed, and it has long, slender legs with three-toed paws.
Ninetales is a quadrupedal {{wp|canidae|canine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine, long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.


Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. This intelligent Pokémon is able to understand human speech easily. It can live for 1,000 years, due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim. It can be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.
While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. The curse can last up to 1,000 years.  As mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], once a Ninetales casts its curse, it cannot be removed even by Ninetales itself. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes are said to give it the ability to control minds. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim while [[Pokémon-Amie]] shows that Ninetales lick their paws to clean themselves. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales are rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.


In the Alola region, Ninetales has a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue with white at the tips of its tails, crests, and covering most of its legs. Additionally, it now has blue eyes and its fur is more flowing and curled. Alolan Ninetales can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock. It lives on a snowy mountain peak in the Alola region that is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle temperament, and is known to aid humans in distress. However, it is territorial and will punish any threat to its domain. <ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref>
===Forms===
Ninetales has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.
 
In the [[Alola]] region, Ninetales have a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Additionally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.
 
Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle and calm temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. Those who anger it will be frozen stiff in an instant. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Ninetales]</ref> They can also be found in the [[Polar Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Ninetales is based on a {{wp|fox}}, particularly the {{wp|kitsune}} of Japanese legend, which have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and can breathe fire. After living a long time, kitsune take on spirit forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn {{type|Ghost}} moves. In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐 ''kyūbi no kitsune'', a kitsune of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold, and, upon gaining its ninth tail, has gained powers equivalent to a deity, bearing omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience.
Ninetales may be based on a {{wp|red fox}} and the 狐 ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of {{wp|Japanese mythology|Japanese legend}}, which are said to have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and supernatural powers such as the ability to breathe fire. After reaching an advanced age, ''kitsune'' take on {{wp|spirit}} forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn various {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves. Specifically, it may be based on the ''kyūbi no kitsune'', whose fur turns white-gold after it has lived for 1,000 years and gains its ninth tail.


Alolan Ninetales seems to be based on {{wp|Arctic_fox|Arctic foxes}}.
Alolan Ninetales may be based on an {{wp|Arctic fox}}, which grows a white coat of fur in the winter to {{wp|camouflage}} in the snow. Its mountain habitat and lore as a deity incarnation may be a reference to {{wp|Poliʻahu}}, the {{wp|Hawaiian}} goddess of snow who is said to reside on {{wp|Mauna Kea}}. It could also be inspired by ''tulikettu'', a mythical fox creature of Finnish lore whose radiant fur is said to be responsible for the creation of the {{wp|Aurora|northern lights}}. The Finnish word for aurora, ''revontulet'', also literally translates to "fox fires" which could be intentional as Ninetales' original form is a Fire-type.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Ninetales is a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', which itself may combine ''tails'' and {{wp|fairy tale}}s, from the Japanese myth it is based on. It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip, which was historically used in military punishments.
Ninetales may be a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', referring to ''{{wp|fairy tale}}s'' (alluding to it being based on a mythical creature) as well as being a homophone to ''tails''. It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip (due to its tendency to punish anyone who grabs its tails).


Kyukon is a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) and 恨 ''kon'' (grudge, from the curse it may cast on its foes), ''kon kon'' (the sound foxes make), コンロ ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}), or ''ko'', an alternate reading of 狐 ''kitsune'' (fox). Alternatively, it can be read as 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge).
Kyukon may be a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) or 九尾狐 ''kyūbiko'' ({{wp|Fox spirit|nine-tailed fox}}) and こん ''kon'' (onomatopoetic sound of a fox's cry). It may also involve 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge) and 焜炉 ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}).

Ninetales (Japanese: キュウコン Kyukon) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Vulpix when exposed to a Fire Stone.

In Alola, Ninetales has a dual-type Ice/Fairy regional form. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an Ice Stone. These Ninetales can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.

Biology

Ninetales is a quadrupedal canine Pokémon covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine, long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.

While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. The curse can last up to 1,000 years. As mentioned in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, once a Ninetales casts its curse, it cannot be removed even by Ninetales itself. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes are said to give it the ability to control minds. The anime has shown that it can swim while Pokémon-Amie shows that Ninetales lick their paws to clean themselves. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Ninetales are rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in grasslands.

Forms

Ninetales has a regional form: Alolan Ninetales.

In the Alola region, Ninetales have a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Additionally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped Mount Lanakila, which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle and calm temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of Vulpix. Those who anger it will be frozen stiff in an instant. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.[1] They can also be found in the Polar Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.

Evolution

Ninetales evolves from Vulpix.

Alolan Ninetales evolves from Alolan Vulpix.

Trivia

Origin

Ninetales may be based on a red fox and the 狐 kitsune of Japanese legend, which are said to have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and supernatural powers such as the ability to breathe fire. After reaching an advanced age, kitsune take on spirit forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn various Ghost-type and Psychic-type moves. Specifically, it may be based on the kyūbi no kitsune, whose fur turns white-gold after it has lived for 1,000 years and gains its ninth tail.

Alolan Ninetales may be based on an Arctic fox, which grows a white coat of fur in the winter to camouflage in the snow. Its mountain habitat and lore as a deity incarnation may be a reference to Poliʻahu, the Hawaiian goddess of snow who is said to reside on Mauna Kea. It could also be inspired by tulikettu, a mythical fox creature of Finnish lore whose radiant fur is said to be responsible for the creation of the northern lights. The Finnish word for aurora, revontulet, also literally translates to "fox fires" which could be intentional as Ninetales' original form is a Fire-type.

Name origin

Ninetales may be a combination of nine and tales, referring to fairy tales (alluding to it being based on a mythical creature) as well as being a homophone to tails. It may also reference the cat o' nine tails whip (due to its tendency to punish anyone who grabs its tails).

Kyukon may be a combination of 九 kyū (nine) or 九尾狐 kyūbiko (nine-tailed fox) and こん kon (onomatopoetic sound of a fox's cry). It may also involve 旧恨 kyūkon (old grudge) and 焜炉 konro (gas stove).
