Though not the first Pokemon he came to own, this Alolan Ninetales was the first Pokemon Jin raised. A gift from his adopted parents, it was named Reitou. Ability: Snow Warning Moves: - Ice Fang - Zen Headbutt - Moonblast - Blizzard

For Jin's other Pokemon, see below;

Yukianesa (Alpha Froslass) F Ability:  Cursed Body Moves: - Destiny Bond - Aurora Veil - Hex - Ice Beam

After a tragic, unforeseeable incident led to the loss of Jin's family, he was adopted into the wealthy, influential Kisaragis. Not long after his adoption, it was determined that Jin held incredible potential as a trainer, and he was sent to the world famous Uva Academy in Paldea.

All students entering the Academy are given a Pokemon of their own to train. Though Jin already had a Froslass, Yukianesa, it was clear the Pokemon was far beyond the young Jin's current capabilities. The head of the Kisaragi family made the decision to keep Yukianesa until Jin would be able to control it- in its place, they imported an Alolan Vulpix to be his training companion. After all, a prestigious trainer from a prestigious family ought to have an equally incredible partner Pokemon.

Alolan Ninetales was first inspired by Jin's 5D, the one that looks like a wolf's head. Its name, of course, comes from Jin's Drive.

Ice Fang serves to further reference Jin's 5D and his Drive as a whole. Its a bite attack- mirroring the imagery of 5D- that carries a small chance to either Freeze the opponent or make them Flinch. Freezing his enemies is kind of Jin's entire thing in the mainline games, while Pokemon's Flinch condition serves a similar function mechanically to the BB series' Freeze, in that it prevents the opponent from doing anything for a moment, creating offensive momentum for the user.

Zen Headbutt was chosen with the same reasoning in mind- the imagery of a headbutt is kind of like the wolf's head from 5D jutting out at your opponent, and it also carries a change to make the opponent Flinch, just as 5D carries Freezing utility.

Moonblast was chosen as homage to the Hiyoku Getsumei, or Moonsong, Distortion. Like Moonsong, it's a longrage shot kind of attack, and it has the moon-themed naming. It also gives the Pokemon another STAB attacking option, and may even lower the Special Attack of its target. I liked slipping little debuffs like that into the movesets of Jin's Pokemon, to keep disrupting his opponent's offense, just like how he can be played.

Blizzard is an attack that shares its name with Jin's Fubuki Special. It's a powerful Ice-Type attack, but it has pretty bad accuracy... unless it happens to be snowing on the battlefield. Then it always hits. Speaking of...

The Ability Snow Warning passively summons a snow storm, reminiscent of all the freezing air and glittering frost summoned when using his Nox Nyctores. And makes that Blizzard attack unavoidable. I like to envision it kind of like a reference to Arctic Dungeon.
