Light Ninetales · Neo Destiny, what to know.
About the Light Ninetales card
Numbered 50 of 113 in Neo Destiny, released in February 2002, Light Ninetales is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fire-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Vulpix, so Light Ninetales is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Light Ninetales carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It is said that each of its nine tails contains a different magical power."
