[SET COMMENTS]

• 1-2 bullets on moves / items / abilities if they’re not self-explanatory, no need to explain if not
• Alolan Ninetales is the premier snow setter due to its speed tier and utility. It enables offensive structures that flourish with Aurora Veil support.
• Alolan Ninetales runs Freeze Dry in order to hit water types that normally
• Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
• Bullet on Tera type and usage (if applicable) - would recommend keeping this one in most cases due to it being a new mechanic
