Ninetales

FIRECOMMON

Ninetales shows up in the level 100 hunt and averages 115 of loot and 6,008 XP per kill.

Is Ninetales worth hunting?

Among the 29 Pokémon in the level 100 hunt, Ninetales ranks 16th for loot per kill, 3% below the level's median.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.

55% of all loot comes from a single item: Fox Tail. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Fire Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.53% chance — on average one every 188 kills.

For XP it ranks 1 of 29 at this level — 6,008 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
