Pokemon Farming: Ninetales
June 26, 2008
This time in Pokemon Farming: Ninetales, the fox pokemon!
During my years playing pokemon I have found fascinating parallels between the game Pokemon and the Japanese Shinto Faith. I have spent much time researching the two and have found that pokemon has definitely been influenced by the different Kami, Yokai, or spirits in the Shinto religion.
For me the most amazing discovery was the Kitsune.
The Kitsune, kitsune translated means fox spirit. It is these Kistune of legend that are said to possess great magical powers. The more tails the Kitsune has the more powerful it is. With nine being near deity like status.
As you can see from the above woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Nintedo and Pokemon definitely have their creative inspirations.
The Kitsune also play a large role in shintoism in particular, they play an important part in worship at the Inari temple, or temple of rice. Over the centuries it is said that the Kitsune and Inari have developed a great bond. Where there is Inari there is Kitsune. Since foxes often have a playful nature it became common place to try and appease them to prevent any whimsy or tricks that may befall someone. While the foxes have not been directly worshipped there are shrines within Inari to pay them homage.
Within the temple of Inari there are two levels; an upper served by the male Kitsune Osusuki and the lower served by the female Kitsune Akomachi. As such each benevolent Kitsune I am giving will be named either by its male or female name.
Ninetales
nature: Modest
ability: flashfire
- Hypnosis to put your opponent to sleep.
- Dark Pulse to combat ghosts and psychics.
- Energy Ball counter ground and water pokemon.
- Fire Blast A high powered STAB attack.
hold item: Wide Lens
These Ninetails are ready to battle. In addition to the moves above you may teach them dream eater with a TM or use a heart scale to re-learn Nasty Plot. They have quite a diverse set of moves. The wide lens boosts the accuracy of all your moves, so both fire blast and hypnosis will have a much better chance of landing a hit.
