Strategy & play
How Ninetales ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Burn — 20 damage between turns, then a coin flip to clear it. Chip damage with a coin-flip tail.
- Its main attack (Mirrored Flames) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥130 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Vulpix; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Ninetales ex
- Exploit its Water weakness — ≥130 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Ninetales ex is real?
Ninetales ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
