Poké-POWER ⇢ Volunteer
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may remove 4 damage counters from Ninetales and discard Ninetales from Vulpix. If you do, search your deck for Ninetales or Ninetales ex and put it onto Vulpix (this counts as evolving Vulpix). Shuffle your deck afterward.
{C}{C} → Trick Tail : 30
Search your discard pile for an Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon.

Whitmer 4 POTUS
Between this card and Morty’s Ninetales, it’s clear that Ninetales is a “soft” ghost type, sorta like how Golduck is a “soft” psychic type (see, e.g., Sabrina’s Golduck)

Does Morty even use a Ninetales on his team in the video games?

Stadium 2 would’ve been your best chance of that and no, he doesn’t use one there either. I quite like the Pokémon assigned to the Gym Leaders in Pokémon VS – some stuff is clearly contradictory to the games (as much as I love the idea Jasmine used to be an Electric type Trainer, an NPC says she used to be a Rock type GL, and her gym clearly fits the Rock type) but it’s fun flavor nonetheless. The G1 Gym sets were neat too, I like the idea of Erika having a Dragonair.

The reference to a 1000-year curse in base set Ninetales’s flavor text, and the Will-o-the-Wisp move on Brock’s Ninetales, suggest a ghost-y energy is going on here. I assume that’s tied to the Japanese mythology it’s based on.
