Item: Light Clay
Ability: Snow Warning
Nature: Quiet (+SpA, -Spe)
EVs: 128 Def / 252 SpA / 128 SpD
Moveset:
- Aurora Veil
- Dazzling Gleam
- Protect
- Blizzard
In single battles, Ninetales is known as a noteworthy Special Tank. This moveset design focuses to handle special hits and respond with decent damage. Snow Warning changes the weather to Snow when Ninetales is sent out onto the field. This increases the defense of all Ice Pokemon while the Snow remains active. This build is basically to create a decent wall against opponents in doubles for an attacker alongside it to bash the enemies. Aurora Veil to have damage, and light flag to extend it. Obviously show warning so you can use Aurora veil, and protect in case the opposing team tries to take you out. I also put in its two best stab moves for doubles, which attack both targets. The defense and so defense are to make it able to take a bit and still get up Aurora Veil. Aurora Veil halves damage done to the user by physical and special moves for five turns; In doubles, Aurora Veil protects the user and all allies, but only reduces damage by a third rather than half. The catch is Aurora Veil can only be used during Hail. Luckily, Snow Warning lets you keep the veil up pretty consistently. If a Light Clay is held when Aurora Veil is used, it will extend the duration of it from 5 to 8 turns.
◆ Dazzling Gleam is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Fairy-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent foes).
◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Ninetales this turn).
◆ Blizzard is a special STAB-boosted 110-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze foes. Can't miss in snow).

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.
Steel moves are bad against Water/Steel/Electric/Fire.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Poison moves are bad against Steel.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Ninetales-alola is: Water, Steel, Electric or Fire
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Steel
We strongly suggest: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Ice or Fairy ) could also prove helpful.

Ninetales is an awesome Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Ninetales's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack.

Equipping Icy Rock helps extend the snowstorm weather effects this Pokemon creates from 5 turns to 8 instead. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Fire-type move).

Item: Icy Rock / Life Orb
Ability: Snow Warning
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 84 Hp / 252 Atk / 172 Spe
Moveset:
- Play Rough

Ninetales is a sensational Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Ninetales's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. Snow Warning changes the weather to Snow when Ninetales is sent out onto the field. This increases the defense of all Ice Pokemon while the Snow remains active. Equipping Icy Rock helps extend the snowstorm weather effects this Pokemon creates from 5 turns to 8 instead. Zen Headbutt was added to provide additional threat coverage.
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Rock-type move).
◆ Avalanche is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Ice-type move (power doubles if Ninetales is damaged by the target).
◆ Ice Shard is a physical STAB-boosted priority-increased 40-base power Ice-type move (usually goes first).
◆ Zen Headbutt is a physical 80-base power Psychic-type move (20% chance to make the target flinch).
◆ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
