Ninetalesin Pokémon Polished Crystal
Pokédex Entry
Fox Pokémon
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!
