Is ninetales a rare or legendary Pokemon?

He sort of rarebut definitely not legendary because he evolves from a Vulpix. Hope this answered your question.

Its still being debated because ninetales has some legendary characteristics like they can live for 1000 years, can put curses on whoever touches its tails forcibly and can control the body of someone so many reasons it can be considered legendary not particularly rare though.

i hope this answered your question

So basically its up to you whether you think its legendary or not and remember just because it evolves means nothing because arcanine is considered legendary too.
