Ninetales

Ninetales is a threatening wallbreaker thanks to its Drought ability and ability to threaten switch-ins with Nasty Plot or Choice Specs-boosted attacks. It also gets great coverage in Solar Beam to beat Water- and Rock-types and Hidden Power Ice for Noivern and Flygon. Also, Drought combined with its good special bulk makes Ninetales more effective against Water-types than any of its competitors. However, while Ninetales has decent Speed, it still is vulnerable to faster attackers such as Zygarde-10% and Choice Scarf Tyrantrum, which can revenge kill it. Ninetales also faces stiff competition from similar attackers like Salazzle, which can also utilize Nasty Plot and has better Speed, better Special Attack, and a secondary type for coverage.
