Alolan Ninetales is a solid screens setter thanks to its decent Speed, a wide utility movepool, access to Aurora Veil and Snow Warning, and a great typing. Encore can be used to punish setup sweepers like Dragon Dance Arceus forms, entry hazard setters like Magearna and Skarmory, and passive walls like Corviknight, Clefable, and Blissey, although Hypnosis is a luck-reliant alternative to put these aforementioned Pokemon to sleep instead. Tera Water is recommended to flip matchups on Pokemon like Gholdengo, Chi-Yu, and Reshiram, allowing Alolan Ninetales to setup Aurora Veil. Setup sweepers, like Zamazenta-C, Kingambit, and Zacian appreciate Alolan Ninetales ability to provide setup turns. Baxcalibur is one of the best teammates for Alolan Ninetales, as it loves the Snow support from Alolan Ninetales since Baxcalibur gains a 1.5x Defense boost under it. Alolan Ninetales is madatory and only usable on hyper offense and is the backbone for dual screens teams. Alolan Ninetales pairs well with breakers like Kingambit and Landorus, as they love Alolan Ninetales' Aurora Veil support.

Alolan Ninetales is an amazing screens setter thanks to its high Speed, access to Aurora Veil and Snow Warning, and a great typing (Mention its deep ultility movepool as well.) . Freeze-Dry allows Alolan Ninetales to hit Water-types like Toxapex, Ogerpon-W, and Dondozo. (Self Explainitory, no need for this.) Encore can be used to punish setup sweepers (such as?), entry hazard setters (such as?), and passive walls like Corviknight, Clefable, and Blissey, although Hypnosis is a luck-reliant alternative to put these aforementioned Pokemon to sleep instead. Light Clay is recommended to extend to duration of Aurora Veil. (Self explainitory) Tera Water is recommended to flip matchups on Pokemon like Gholdengo, Chi-Yu, and Reshiram, allowing Alolan Ninetales to set up Aurora Veil (Mention it does not Terastallize often). Other setup Setup sweepers, like double dance Magearna, Zamazenta-C, and Chi-Yu (You can keep Zama C but DD Mag is kinda balls and Chi Yu is not a setup sweeper. maybe mention stuff like gambit or zacian instead.) appreciate Alolan Ninetales ability to provide setup turns. Baxcalibur is one of the best teammates for Alolan Ninetales, as it loves the Snow support from Alolan Ninetales since it gains a 1.5x Defense boost, and Alolan Ninetales can switch into Dragon-type threats like Kyurem-W and Walking Wake. (If your facing these 2 Atales just gets Fusioned Flare / Probably is under sun, so no need for this.).) Ninetales loves pivoting from Landorus-T, Palafin, and Cyclizar, as it is very frail and cannot switch into anything. (Not rly, none of these are rly HO staples aside from Pfin and Cyc also sucks and Atales does not need pivoting.)
(You NEED to mention Alolan 9Tales is a HO lead ONLY. Mention how it is the backbone for all screens teams in the tier. Mention strong breakers like LO Lando and Kyurem-W somewhere that like having Atales screens around so they can make massive holes in the other team.)

Alolan Ninetales is an amazing a solid screens setter thanks to its high decent (both changed to reflect its current ranking on VR, "amazing" is a bit far for B-, and it's far from the best dual screener. Its speed isnt super high either, 120 is usually the benchmark for "fast" mons.) Speed, a wide utility movepool, access to Aurora Veil and Snow Warning, and a great typing. Encore can be used to punish setup sweepers like the Urshifu forms, (both are typically choiced, both are afraid of moonblast, consider replacing with DD arcs or M2)entry hazard setters like Magearna and Skarmory, and passive walls like Corviknight, Clefable, and Blissey, although Hypnosis is a luck-reliant alternative to put these aforementioned Pokemon to sleep instead. Tera Water is recommended to flip matchups on Pokemon like Gholdengo, Chi-Yu, and Reshiram, allowing Alolan Ninetales to setup Aurora Veil. Setup sweepers, like Zamazenta-C, Kingambit, and Zacian appreciate Alolan Ninetales ability to provide setup turns. Baxcalibur is one of the best teammates for Alolan Ninetales, as it loves the Snow support from Alolan Ninetales since Baxcalibur gains a 1.5x Defense boost under it. Alolan Ninetales is madatory (mandatory on what?)and only usable on hyper offense and is the backbone for dual screens teams. Alolan Ninetales pairs well with breakers like Iron Bundle (not a great HO mon)and Landorus, as they love Alolan Ninetales' Aurora Veil support.
