Description
The Reverse Holo Alolan Ninetales (#28) stands as a distinct entry in the 2017 Burning Shadows expansion, offering collectors a unique finish on this Water-type Stage 1 Pokémon. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, this card features 110 HP and evolves from Alolan Vulpix, making it a recognizable piece for enthusiasts of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The reverse holo treatment provides a shimmering alternative to the standard rare foil, appealing to those who appreciate visual variety in their collections. In gameplay, Alolan Ninetales is defined by its ability, Luminous Barrier, which prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, from opponent's Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX. This defensive utility, paired with its Aurora Beam attack for 80 damage, gives the card a specific role within the game's mechanics. The card's design and flavor reflect its lore: Alolan Ninetales creates ice drops in its coat to shower enemies, freezing anyone who angers it instantly. Whether you are building a themed collection around Ice-type Pokémon or simply admire the artwork and mechanics, this card represents a key moment in the franchise's history. The combination of its strategic ability and the elegant reverse holo finish makes it a noteworthy addition to any serious Pokémon TCG library.
