Base moves first, the tip of the tail follows along after. If you look up some animation principles it might help out

[@lxttiedxll959]

Skinning makes a very natural movement, place the rotation deformers where the bones would be in the tail and it makes it very realistic, just make sure the mesh is fine enough or the pieces will split weird

Nice, but not a how to. I didn’t learn anything :c

[@R0manDemig0d]

I recommend just using physics and only animate the base of the tail. it makes the movement much more natural.
EDIT - Also, use skinning/rotation deformers. with path deform it's easy to accidentally stretch the tail and make it longer than it really is.

I've been through this. It's hard, the tail that I made deformed into weird shape.
