Not sure I like Ninetales' spread here. Max speed is pointless when you miss out on the tie with base 100s, and can't take on anything that hovers just under that tier without heavy SpA investment. A spread of 252 HP / 36 SpA / 220 Spe maximises bulk & gives you enough power to always break offensive Heatran's Substitutes. The speed is also enough to outrun all base 95s ensuring a clean 2HKO on offensive Gliscor and the ability to revenge Timid Lucario/Jolly Excadrill.
