[SET COMMENTS]
Alolan Ninetales is a great support Pokemon for Ice teams thanks to its ability to set snow and Aurora Veil to make its team much harder to take down as well as facilitate its teammates' sweeping attempts with Encore. In addition, its typing and Speed tier lets it hit otherwise troublesome Fighting-types such as Kommo-o, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk. Freeze-Dry is useful against Water teams, being able to threaten Pelipper and Quagsire out and win the weather war against rain. Moonblast is useful against the ubiquitous Fighting- and Dragon-types in the tier, as it hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Baxcalibur, and Kommo-o that are otherwise problems for Ice teams. Encore allows Alolan Ninetales to lock a defensive Pokemon, such as Toxapex, into a weak move or a setup sweeper, such as Iron Defense Corviknight, into a stat-boosting move, letting Alolan Ninetales's teammates take care of the aforementioned Pokemon.

Baxcalibur is an amazing teammate for Alolan Ninetales, as it is an incredibly dangerous sweeper that can run through teams after one Swords Dance or Dragon Dance, which is easily facilitated by Alolan Ninetales's snow and Aurora Veil. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales giving it setup opportunities thanks to Encore and eliminating Quagsire thanks to Freeze-Dry. Alolan Ninetales appreciates Baxcalibur's ability to switch in on Fire-type moves and gain an Attack boost for itself, as well as run through Poison and Steel teams. Chien-Pao provides wallbreaking power or clean-up potential depending on its set while also hitting Steel-types such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Empoleon with a strong Sacred Sword. It appreciates Alolan Ninetales's ability to hit Fighting-types. Mamoswine can threaten Fire-types like Heatran and Torkoal with Earthquake, while packing Thick Fat for a pseudo-Fire neutrality. Additionally, it sets Stealth Rock, which can help Alolan Ninetales pick off weakened threats such as Baxcalibur. It also appreciates the bulk boost in snow. Cetitan is a great partner, as Slush Rush allows it to outspeed and OHKO most of the metagame after a Belly Drum boost, which is easier to acquire thanks to snow and Aurora Veil from Alolan Ninetales. Alolan Sandslash appreciates snow and Aurora Veil both bolstering its bulk and Slush Rush doubling its Speed. In exchange, Alolan Sandslash can use Rapid Spin to clear entry hazards and deal with Hatterene and Flutter Mane, which can both take advantage of Alolan Ninetales. It can also threaten Fire, Steel, and Poison teams with Earthquake. Cloyster brings a lot to the table: namely another Fire neutrality, a way to hit Fire-types such as Talonflame and Ceruledge thanks to Rock Blast and Water-type coverage, and a high Defense stat that makes it nearly unbreakable in snow. In return, Alolan Ninetales facilitates Cloyster's Shell Smash thanks to Aurora Veil and snow support. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales locking defensive answers to Cloyster, such as Toxapex and Corviknight, into unfavorable moves. Avalugg is a defensive behemoth that, when under snow and Aurora Veil, takes on almost every physical attacker in the tier. It can also remove Stealth Rock with Rapid Spin to improve Alolan Ninetales's lacking longevity. Finally, Frosmoth becomes a dangerous sweeping threat under snow and Aurora Veil thanks to Quiver Dance, letting it potentially win the Ground, Flying, and Fairy matchups.

Alolan Ninetales is a great support Pokemon for Ice teams thanks to its ability to set Snow and give its team a Defense boost upon simply entering the field, as well as set Aurora Veil to make its team nearly unkillable (tbf it and Abomasnow do the same thing, but what makes Ninetales just better?). Coupled with Snow's natural Defense boost, Aurora Veil makes Alolan Ninetales's teammates nearly unremovable, letting Pokemon such as Shell Smash Cloyster and Swords Dance Baxcalibur set up freely against threats that they would not be able to, such as Great Tusk and Heatran. Freeze-Dry is useful against Water teams, being able to threaten Pelipper and Quagsire out. Moonblast is useful in the Fighting matchup, as it hits Pokemon such as Urshifu and Great Tusk that are otherwise problems for Ice teams. Encore allows Alolan Ninetales to lock a defensive Pokemon, such as Toxapex, into a weak move or a setup sweeper, such as Volcarona, into a stat-boosting move (worth noting that you technically cant lock volcarona since it'll attack next turn anyway, maybe slower guys like Iron Defense Corv would be more suitable), letting Alolan Ninetales's teammates take care of the aforementioned Pokemon.

Baxcalibur is an amazing teammate for Alolan Ninetales, as it is an incredibly dangerous sweeper that can run through teams after one Swords Dance, which is easily facilitated by Alolan Ninetales's Snow and Aurora Veil (note that bax isnt really just SD, it can still DD anyway). It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales giving it setup opportunities thanks to Encore, and eliminating Quagsire thanks to Freeze-Dry. Alolan Ninetales appreciates Baxcalibur's ability to switch in on Fire-type moves and gain an Attack boost for itself. Cloyster brings a lot to the table: namely another Fire neutrality, a way to hit Fire-types such as Talonflame and Ceruledge thanks to Rock Blast, and a high Defense stat that makes it nearly unbreakable in Snow. In return, Alolan Ninetales facilitates Cloyster's Shell Smash thanks to Aurora Veil and Snow support. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales Encoring defensive answers to Cloyster, such as Heatran and Corviknight (move cloy lower than Pao, Mamo, and Sandslash-Alola). Chien-Pao provides wallbreaking power or clean-up potential depending on its set, while also hitting Steel-types such as Heatran with a strong Sacred Sword. It appreciates Alolan Ninetales's ability to either hit Fighting-types (if Chien-Pao is using Choice Band) or facilitate its cleaning through Aurora Veil (with a Swords Dance set)(dont use ()). Mamoswine can threaten Fire-types with its Ground STAB move of choice, while packing Thick Fat for a pseudo-Fire neutrality. It also appreciates the bulk boost in Snow. Finally, Cetitan is a great partner, as Slush Rush and Belly Drum allow it to outspeed and OHKO most of the metagame after a Belly Drum boost, which is easier to acquire thanks to Snow and Aurora Veil from Alolan Ninetales.

Alolan Ninetales is a great support Pokemon for Ice teams thanks to its ability to set Snow and give its team a Defense boost upon simply entering the field, as well as set Aurora Veil to make its team nearly unkillable (I dont think unkillable is a term we use, you can just say "harder to take down" or something.

Alolan Ninetales is a great support Pokemon for Ice teams thanks to its ability to set Snow snow (weathers aren't capitalised) and Aurora Veil to make its team much harder to take down as well as and facilitate its teammates' sweeping attempts with Encore. (changed for clarity to separate snow/veil and encore points) In addition, its typing and speed Speed tier lets it hit otherwise troublesome Fighting-types such as Kommo-o, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk. Freeze-Dry is useful against Water teams, being able to threaten Pelipper and Quagsire out and win the weather war against rain-using Water teams. (you've already specified water teams in this sentence) Moonblast is useful against the ubiquitous Fighting- and Dragon-types in the tier, as it hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Baxcalibur, and Kommo-o that are otherwise problems for Ice teams. Encore allows Alolan Ninetales to lock a defensive Pokemon, such as Toxapex, into a weak move or a setup sweeper, such as Iron Defense Corviknight, into a stat-boosting move, letting Alolan Ninetales's teammates take care of the aforementioned Pokemon.

Baxcalibur is an amazing teammate for Alolan Ninetales, as it is an incredibly dangerous sweeper that can run through teams after one Swords Dance or Dragon Dance, which is easily facilitated by Alolan Ninetales's Snow snow and Aurora Veil. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales giving it setup opportunities thanks to Encore (RC) and eliminating Quagsire thanks to Freeze-Dry. Alolan Ninetales appreciates Baxcalibur's ability to switch in on Fire-type moves and gain an Attack boost for itself, as well as run through Poison and Steel teams. Chien-Pao provides wallbreaking power or clean-up potential depending on its set (RC) while also hitting Steel-types such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Empoleon with a strong Sacred Sword. It appreciates Alolan Ninetales's ability to hit Fighting-types. Mamoswine can threaten Fire-types like Heatran and Torkoal with Earthquake (RC) while packing Thick Fat for a pseudo-Fire neutrality. Additionally, it sets Stealth Rock, which can help Alolan Ninetales pick off weakened threats such as Baxcalibur. It also appreciates the bulk boost in Snow snow. Finally, Cetitan is a great partner, as Slush Rush allows it to outspeed and OHKO most of the metagame after a Belly Drum boost, which is easier to acquire thanks to Snow snow and Aurora Veil from Alolan Ninetales. Alolan Sandslash appreciates Snow snow and Aurora Veil both bolstering its bulk and Slush Rush doubling its Speed in Snow. In exchange, Alolan Sandslash can use Rapid Spin to clear (moves shouldn't be used as verbs/actions themselves, a pokemon uses a move) entry hazards away and deal with Hatterene and Flutter Mane, which can both take advantage of Alolan Ninetales. It can also threaten Fire, Steel, and Poison teams with Earthquake. Cloyster brings a lot to the table: namely another Fire neutrality, a way to hit Fire-types such as Talonflame and Ceruledge thanks to Rock Blast and Water-type coverage, and a high Defense stat that makes it nearly unbreakable in Snow snow. In return, Alolan Ninetales facilitates Cloyster's Shell Smash thanks to Aurora Veil and Snow snow support. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales Encoring locking defensive answers to Cloyster into unfavorable moves with Encore, such as Toxapex and Corviknight. Avalugg is a defensive behemoth that, when under Snow snow and Aurora Veil, takes on almost every physical attacker in the tier. It can also remove Stealth Rock to improve Alolan Ninetales' Ninetales's (even when a pokemon name ends in s, it still needs the 's) lacking longevity. Finally, Frosmoth becomes a dangerous sweeping threat under Snow snow and Aurora Veil thanks to Quiver Dance, letting it potentially win the Ground, Flying, and Fairy matchups.

[SET COMMENTS]
Alolan Ninetales is a great support Pokemon for Ice teams thanks to its ability to set Snow snow (weathers aren't capitalised) and Aurora Veil to make its team much harder to take down as well as and facilitate its teammates' sweeping attempts with Encore. (changed for clarity to separate snow/veil and encore points) In addition, its typing and speed Speed tier lets it hit otherwise troublesome Fighting-types such as Kommo-o, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk. Freeze-Dry is useful against Water teams, being able to threaten Pelipper and Quagsire out and win the weather war against rain-using Water teams. (you've already specified water teams in this sentence) Moonblast is useful against the ubiquitous Fighting- and Dragon-types in the tier, as it hits Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Baxcalibur, and Kommo-o that are otherwise problems for Ice teams. Encore allows Alolan Ninetales to lock a defensive Pokemon, such as Toxapex, into a weak move or a setup sweeper, such as Iron Defense Corviknight, into a stat-boosting move, letting Alolan Ninetales's teammates take care of the aforementioned Pokemon.

Baxcalibur is an amazing teammate for Alolan Ninetales, as it is an incredibly dangerous sweeper that can run through teams after one Swords Dance or Dragon Dance, which is easily facilitated by Alolan Ninetales's Snow snow and Aurora Veil. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales giving it setup opportunities thanks to Encore (RC) and eliminating Quagsire thanks to Freeze-Dry. Alolan Ninetales appreciates Baxcalibur's ability to switch in on Fire-type moves and gain an Attack boost for itself, as well as run through Poison and Steel teams. Chien-Pao provides wallbreaking power or clean-up potential depending on its set (RC) while also hitting Steel-types such as Heatran, Kingambit, and Empoleon with a strong Sacred Sword. It appreciates Alolan Ninetales's ability to hit Fighting-types. Mamoswine can threaten Fire-types like Heatran and Torkoal with Earthquake (RC) while packing Thick Fat for a pseudo-Fire neutrality. Additionally, it sets Stealth Rock, which can help Alolan Ninetales pick off weakened threats such as Baxcalibur. It also appreciates the bulk boost in Snow snow. Finally, Cetitan is a great partner, as Slush Rush allows it to outspeed and OHKO most of the metagame after a Belly Drum boost, which is easier to acquire thanks to Snow snow and Aurora Veil from Alolan Ninetales. Alolan Sandslash appreciates Snow snow and Aurora Veil both bolstering its bulk and Slush Rush doubling its Speed in Snow. In exchange, Alolan Sandslash can use Rapid Spin to clear (moves shouldn't be used as verbs/actions themselves, a pokemon uses a move) entry hazards away and deal with Hatterene and Flutter Mane, which can both take advantage of Alolan Ninetales. It can also threaten Fire, Steel, and Poison teams with Earthquake. Cloyster brings a lot to the table: namely another Fire neutrality, a way to hit Fire-types such as Talonflame and Ceruledge thanks to Rock Blast and Water-type coverage, and a high Defense stat that makes it nearly unbreakable in Snow snow. In return, Alolan Ninetales facilitates Cloyster's Shell Smash thanks to Aurora Veil and Snow snow support. It also appreciates Alolan Ninetales Encoring locking defensive answers to Cloyster into unfavorable moves with Encore, such as Toxapex and Corviknight. Avalugg is a defensive behemoth that, when under Snow snow and Aurora Veil, takes on almost every physical attacker in the tier. It can also remove Stealth Rock to improve Alolan Ninetales' Ninetales's (even when a pokemon name ends in s, it still needs the 's) lacking longevity. Finally, Frosmoth becomes a dangerous sweeping threat under Snow snow and Aurora Veil thanks to Quiver Dance, letting it potentially win the Ground, Flying, and Fairy matchups.
