07Why Collectors Want It

Released in 2002's Neo Destiny, the final WotC-era Neo set and the home of the experimental Shining-foil treatment.
A base Vulpix print in the same set as the iconic Shining Charizard and Light/Dark Pokémon variants.
Market sits around $9.50; graded copies trade meaningfully above raw, with Neo Destiny centering and edge wear the usual downgrades.
A natural pickup for collectors building the WotC-era Neo block or a complete Ninetales-line run.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Vulpix with 50 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ember Cost: Fire + Colorless · 30 damage

Discard 1 Fire Energy card attached to Vulpix in order to use this attack.

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Vulpix PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
