[SET COMMENTS]
Alolan Ninetales's fast Aurora Veil allows Fairy teams to better take advantage of their setup sweepers. Freeze-Dry nails Water- and Ground-type Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Gastrodon, Seismitoad, and Pelipper, while Moonblast allows Alolan Ninetales to hit Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting-type such as Sableye, Hydreigon, Kyurem-B, and Kommo-o hard. Encore enables Alolan Ninetales to lock setup sweepers such as Corviknight, Snorlax, and Centiskorch and defensive Pokemon like Toxapex and Hippowdon into inopportune moves. Light Clay and Snow Warning pair with Aurora Veil to maximize its duration and enable setup, enabling teammates such as Mimikyu to more easily take advantage of it. The given EVs and a Timid nature allow Alolan Ninetales to be as strong and fast as possible and take on Pokemon such as Cloyster and Toxapex. Alolan Ninetales should time when its sets Aurora Veil against other teams with access to weather, as it can easily be blocked if hail is overridden.

All of Alolan Ninetales teammates appreciate its ability to set up Aurora Veil, especially the setup sweepers. Calm Mind Hatterene, Swords Dance Mimikyu, Bulk Up Grimmsnarl, and Nasty Plot Togekiss are the team's setup sweepers that can take advantage of Aurora Veil, allowing them to tank hits with more ease and making setting up easier. Hatterene also can bounce back entry hazards for Alolan Ninetales thanks to Magic Bounce, which also allows it to keep up Aurora Veil against Defog users such as Galarian Weezing and Pelipper. Other teammates such as Gardevoir and Primarina appreciate the Aurora Veil, as it allows them to spam their attacks with little drawback. Gardevoir especially helps Alolan Ninetales, as it can take advantage of opposing weather teams thanks to Trace and its Choice Scarf to revenge kill their sweepers with ease, such as Excadrill and Barraskewda. Clefable is another support Pokemon available to Aurora Veil teams, being able to support them with Thunder Wave and Healing Wish or set up Stealth Rock, allowing its teammates to break through the foe's team with more ease. Stealth Rock also allows Alolan Ninetales to at least 2HKO all Pokemon in the Water matchup, such as taking out Toxapex with Freeze-Dry and OHKOing Cloyster with Moonblast. Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl can take on Pokemon that can beat Ninetales such as Jirachi and Gengar with Sucker Punch, and Togekiss can tank attacks from Choice Scarf users that take can OHKO Alolan Ninetales such as Duraludon and paralyze them with Thunder Wave. Lastly, Ribombee's Sticky Web allows Alolan Ninetales to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Terrakion, Dracovish, and Duraludon.

"Alolan Ninetales can easily set up Aurora Veil thanks to its signature ability in Snow Warning, due to the fact Aurora Veil can only be set when there is hail."
This line seems unnecessary, and Snow Warning isn't a signature ability, so I'd remove it.

When talking about Encore I'd mention locking foes into recovery moves like Toxapex.

Mention opposing weather setters like Torkoal and Tyranitar and how Ninetales can struggle with them due to Aurora Veil relying on hail.

Would expand a little bit on some of the teammates and how they can be useful in taking down anti-Ninetales leads. Grimmsnarl can Sucker Punch Jirachi and Gengar and Bulk Up into Sucker Punch on Scarf Excadrill, max HP Togekiss can live a hit from Scarf Dracovish and Duraludon and Thunder Wave them etc. You don't have to go super into detail but just say that foes can try to take advantage of the obvious Ninetales lead and its teammates can punish them.

Also talk more about Gardevoir and how it's a good check for weather abusers such as Venusaur and Excadrill combined with Alolan Ninetales' Snow Warning to change the weather.

Corviknight and Togekiss/Snorlax should be used as examples of a setup Pokemon for Encore over Mimikyu, which has priority to hit Alolan Ninetales before it uses Encore. I would also use Hippowdon as an example of a defensive Pokemon considering its another weather setter that disrupts Aurora Veil. Specify that it and Toxapex are locked into their support moves by Encore.

"Light Clay and Snow Warning pair with Aurora Veil as the first extends the turns screens are up from five to eight, and Snow Warning is necessary for setting up Aurora Veil."
Say that the Light Clay lets Alolan Ninetales's teammates take advantage of Aurora Veil or something along the lines, it's pretty much dex info right now.

"Its EVs and a Timid nature allow it to be as strong and fast as possible."
Give more detail on why this is significant, types of key Pokemon the Speed helps outspeed and why the power is important. The power is especially nice in the Water matchup where it lets Alolan Ninetales threaten Pokemon like Toxapex and Cloyster more effectively with its attacks.

"Gardevoir especially helps Alolan Ninetales as it can take advantage of opposing weather teams thanks to Trace and its Choice Scarf allowing it to revenge kill the weather abusers with ease."
Name some weather abusers like Excadrill and Barraskewda here. For Hatterene, the fact that it can use Magic Bounce to keep Aurora Veil up against Defoggers is pretty nice, as well as bounce back hazards to keep Alolan Ninetales healthy.

Clefable's description is vague as to how it supports Alolan Ninetales. Try to focus on Stealth Rock, is there KOs you can get with them for Alolan Ninetales? It's fine to just focus on Stealth Rock chipping things down and the fact that it can beat Ferrothorn with Flamethrower. Stealth Rock is particularily good against Water teams for allowing Alolan Ninetales to 2HKO Toxapex with Freeze Dry on the switch in and breaking Cloyster's Focus Sash so Alolan Ninetales can beat it with Moonblast.

Ribombee should be mentioned as a teammate, the Sticky Webs are nice for Alolan Ninetales as it means it can now outspeed Choice Scarf users like Dracovish, Virizion, and Terrakion.

Choice Scarf Dracovish is not a great example of what Togekiss helps with considering losing to it is still pretty likely. Using Charizard over it is better.

Good work! Aurora Veil is just referred to Aurora Veil instead of screens.

Moonblast allows it to hit Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting-types such as Sableye, Hydreigon, Kyurem-B, and Kommo-o. Encore allows it to lock set up setup sweepers such as Corviknight, Snorlax, and Centiskorch into setup moves (parallelism with "support moves") Swords Dance and Coil respectively as well as defensive Pokemon like Toxapex and Hippowdon into their support moves. Light Clay and Snow Warning pair with Aurora Veil as the first extends the number of turns Aurora Veil is screens are up from five to eight, and Snow Warning is necessary for setting up Aurora Veil. This allows Alolan Ninetale's its teammates such as Kyurem-B to reap the benefits from Aurora Veil for longermore easily take advantage of the screens. Its EVs and a Timid nature allow it to be as strong and fast as possible. This allows it to take on Pokemon such as Cloyster and Toxapex. Alolan Ninetales should time when its sets Aurora Veil against other teams with access to weather, as it can easily be blocked if hail is not up.

All of Alolan Ninetales teammates appreciate its ability to set up Aurora Veil, especially the setup sweepers (You've talked about this in the first paragraph already. If you think it's necessary, just remember to add an apostrophe after Alolan Ninetales). Calm Mind Hatterene, Swords Dance Mimikyu, Bulk Up Grimmsnarl, and Nasty Plot Togekiss are great examples of the team's setup sweepers that can take advantage of Aurora Veil, allowing them to tank hits with more ease making setting up easier.

Gardevoir especially helps Alolan Ninetales as it can take advantage of opposing weather teams thanks to Trace and its Choice Scarf,(AC) allowing it to revenge kill the weather abusers with ease such as Excadrill and Barraskewda. Clefable is another support Pokemon available to Aurora Veil teams and is being able to set up Stealth Rock, allowing its teammates to break through the opposing foe's (this is subjective but I think opposing is more clear than foe's)team with more ease, or and support them with moves such as Thunder Wave and Healing Wish. Stealth Rock also allows Alolan Ninetales to 2HKO all Pokemon in the Water-type matchup such as Toxapex with Freeze Dry,(AC) and OHKO Cloyster with Moonblast. Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl can take on Pokemon that can beat Ninetales such as Jirachi and Gengar with Sucker Punch and Togekiss can tank attacks from Choice Scarf users that take can OHKO Alolan Ninetales such as Duraludon and paralyze them with Thunder Wave. Ribombee can set Sticky Web allowing Alolan Ninetales to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Terrakion, Dracovish, and Duraludon.
