Ninetales δ 8/101 · Dragon Frontiers

Dragon Frontiers is a set in the EX series. It was released on November 1, 2006. The printed size is 101, and the checklist is the same length. Ninetales δ is 8/101, in position 8 of 101 on this checklist. Before it is 7 Nidoqueen δ, and after it is 9 Pinsir δ. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Ninetales δ is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ninetales (#038), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Vulpix. In this catalog that name is Vulpix (#037).

Hajime Kusajima illustrated this card. The same name is on 206 other cards in the catalog.

Ninetales (#038) has 55 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 40 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Ninetales 12/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Ninetales, while this one is Ninetales δ. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 52 other cards of Ninetales list a different HP.

Volunteer is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may remove 4 damage counters from Ninetales and discard Ninetales from Vulpix. If you do, search your deck for Ninetales or Ninetales ex and put it onto Vulpix (this counts as evolving Vulpix). Shuffle your deck afterward. The attack Trick Tail lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Search your discard pile for an Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. Weakness is Water ×2.

I keep a set binder for Dragon Frontiers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragon Frontiers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ninetales can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards and Vulpix and Ninetales. I still need this card.
