Ninetales
The reason it guides people all the way down its mountain's base is so that they hurry up and leave.
Ninetales in its plain form will have drought sets sun automatically as its hidden ability. If you have a fire based team, this is something to keep in mind! Flash Fire which is the primary and more common ability is an option if you want immunity instead. In Polished, Ninetales is also ghost type!
Boosts Fire moves if hit by one. Nullifies Fire-type damage.
Determines the foe's moves.
Summons sunlight when switched in.
Evolution Chain
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. This was a feature that was added specifically to Polished Crystal. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Professor Elm.
