Ninetales

Ninetales (キュウコン Kyukon) is a -type Pokémon and is the evolved form of Vulpix. Vulpix evolve into Ninetales by the use of a Fire Stone.

Appearance
Ninetales is a fox-like Pokémon that have nine tails, hence its name. They are mainly covered in a light, cream-colored fur, while the tips of their tails are orange. On top of their head is a large tuft of hair, similar to its pre-evolved form though much more unruly.

Additionally, there are no gender differences between male and female Ninetales. The shiny version of Ninetales have silver-gray fur instead of its usual light cream fur, and its tails are tipped in blue.

It is more than likely based off of the Japanese folktale of nine-tailed fox demons.

Special Abilities
All Ninetales have the ability Flash Fire, which powers up its Fire-type moves if it is hit by a fire-type attack. It also keeps it from getting damaged by fire attacks.
