In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team|''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'']], Ninetales cast a curse on a human that would turn it into a Pokémon, bringing on many natural disasters. The player is blamed for this and travels to the home of Ninetales at the top of Mt. Freeze to learn the truth. Ninetales later appears when [[Gengar]] (the real cursed human) wishes to right his wrongs. Ninetales is an important part of the plot of ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', because of its involvement in the change of the player, as rumors say.

Ninetales has made its cameo appearance in [[Pokkén Tournament|''[[Pokkén Tournament'']]'' and ''Pokkén Tournament DX'' as an NPC support Pokémon.

Vulpix and Ninetales have unique Alolan Forms in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']]. In their Alolan Forms, Vulpix becomes an Ice-type Pokémon, while Ninetales becomes an Ice/Fairy-type Pokémon.
