One of my most favorite Pokémon is Ninetales, and why shouldn't it have a Mega Evolution? This Vulpix evolution is awesome enough already, sure, but there are still ways we could make it better!

I know there's already a whole evolution line of Fire-Ghost types, but it would make sense for Mega Ninetales to have this typing since it's based off of the Japanese kitsune fox.

Its ability could be called Thousand Year Curse, which would surround the area in an eerie purple fog that powers up Ghost type moves and adds 6% to their flinch effect rate. This will work with Ghost type moves that have no flinch effect as well!

As for stats, I think Speed and Special Attack should be Mega Ninetales' highest. Most of Ninetales' attacks are Special attacks, so it would be fitting for the Pokémon to have a high Special Attack stat. And being able to move faster than your opponent doesn't hurt either.

What would be the most fitting moveset for a Mega Ninetales? Well, my choices would have to be Curse, Secret Power, Heat Wave, and Hex. Although Ninetales cannot currently learn Curse legitimately, it would be a cool idea, especially if the move had a different effect than normal.

Normally, with pure or half Ghost types, your Pokémon cuts its own HP in half to place a curse on the opposing Pokémon that damages it heavily between turns. Other types of Pokémon have their Attack and Defense stats raised and their Speed lowered. But I think the side effects of Mega Ninetales' Curse should be different, giving opponents a stronger Burn status ailment that deals more damage and cuts their Special Attack down to 75% as well as the usual effect of halving their Attack. This would give Mega Ninetales a huge advantage over its foes and would definitely be a force to be reckoned with.
