# Alolan Ninetales #111/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Alolan Ninetales from the Sun & Moon years is an Alola fan darling, and its Luminous Barrier made it a real answer to the GX and EX decks that dominated its format. A plain Rare in Team Up, it sits as a mid-tier pull whose demand comes from play and Misa Tsutsui's name. The modelled guide sits at $13, down 1% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, with 75 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
