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 useful.

Special Sweeper Ninetales-Alola (Snow Warning)
Ninetales is a sensational Special Sweeper for single battles. It is designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. 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.
◆ Weather Ball is a special 50-base power Normal-type move (power doubles and type varies in each weather).
◆ Moonblast is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fairy-type move (30% chance to lower the target's special attack by 1 stage).
◆ Dazzling Gleam is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Fairy-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent foes).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Fire-type move).

Physical Sweeper Ninetales-Alola (Snow Warning)
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).
