Ninetales (Japanese: キュウコン Kyukon) is a Fire-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Vulpix when exposed to a Fire Stone.
Biology
This fox-like, quadruped Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has nine, long tails, each of which is 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 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. It can be found living in grasslands.

Trivia
- Ninetales's name is misspelled as "Ninetails" in the Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color and in some prerelease material.
- As of Generation V, Ninetales's EV yield of 1 Special Defense and 1 Speed is unique.
- Ninetales have been shown on several occasions to be able to swim, most notably in Mewtwo Strikes Back and The Power Of One, which is unusual for most Fire types.
- Ninetales and its pre-evolution share their species name with Fennekin, Braixen, and Delphox. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.
Origin
Ninetales, like Vulpix, is based on a fox. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or kitsune, as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Ninetales the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn Ghost-type moves. In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐, the nine-tailed kitsune, which is a kitsune of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold, and upon gaining its ninth tail, have gained powers equivalent of a deity, bearing omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience.
Name origin
Ninetales is a combination of nine and tales, which is either a corruption of tails or refers to Ninetales's origin as a Japanese myth. It also could possibly be a reference to the cat o' nine tails whip, which was historically used in military punishments.
Kyukon is a combination of 九 kyū (nine) and 恨 kon (grudge), which refers to the curse that Vulpix and Ninetales may cast on their foes. This is also reflected in Vulpix, which learns Grudge. Alternatively, it can be read as 旧恨 (old grudge). Kon may also refer to the Japanese onomatopoeia kon kon, which is the sound that foxes make. Furthermore, a コンロ konro is a gas burner stove. Also, an alternate reading of the Japanese word for fox, 狐 kitsune, is ko.
