While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power.

The curse can last up to 1,000 years. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], once a Ninetales casts its curse, it cannot be removed even by Ninetails itself. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes are said to give it the ability to control minds. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim while [[Pokémon-Amie]] shows that Ninetales lick their paws to clean themselves. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales are rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. | ||

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense.
