Moveset:

Taking on single battles? Ninetales is a remarkable Special Sweeper. This moveset design focuses to overwhelm foes with brute special attacks. Safety Goggles grant Ninetales immunity to powder and spore moves along with damage from hail and sandstorm. With Flash Fire, Ninetales's fire attacks do 1.5x damage if hit by one fire move; fire immunity. This set is targeted towards working with my Alolan Ninetales set Veil Attacker. That is the reason for it having Safety Goggles, so it doesn't take damage from the snow storm. I decided not to use its HA because while it gives access to Solar Beam, it removes or is removed by Alolan Ninetales Hail. If used in singles instead of doubles replace the ability with drought and the item with life orb.

Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Ninetales is: Flying, Steel, Fighting, Ground, Water, Dragon or Grass
