[SET COMMENTS]
Ninetales is a niche wallbreaker in the RU tier; with access to Drought and good coverage, it sets up in front of Pokemon such as Registeel, Sylveon, and Roserade, and it can threaten a wide variety of Pokemon including Seismitoad, Rhyperior, and Steelix. However, it is weak when unboosted and faces competition from Chandelure, Toxtricity, and Volcanion. Solar Beam grants Ninetales a strong coverage option to muscle past bulky Water-types such as Milotic and Suicune. Toxic cripples incoming walls such as Incineroar and Snorlax, and also Noivern. Scorching Sands hits Dragalge, Chandelure, and Incineroar. Choice Specs is a good alternative item, but Choice Specs Ninetales gets worn down by entry hazards quickly and is very prediction-reliant.

Despite Ninetales's great power, it has trouble bypassing Snorlax, as it can tank any hit Ninetales dishes out, so Fighting-types such as Cobalion, Mienshao, and Heracross are good teammates. Ninetales in return can help deal with Doublade and bulky Fairy-types such as Galarian Weezing. Ninetales has trouble breaking Dragon-types such as Noivern and Dragalge; Fairy-types such as Togekiss, Sylveon, and Gardevoir deal with Noivern, while bulky Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross can handle both. Choice Scarf Gardevoir is notably an excellent teammate, as it also provides Healing Wish support late-game, whereas Ninetales can blow through bulky Steel-types such as Registeel and Doublade. Knock Off users such as Mienshao and Thundurus can remove annoying items such as Assault Vest on Reuniclus, Heavy-Duty Boots on Noivern, and Leftovers on Snorlax. Entry hazard setters such as Registeel, Metagross, and Golisopod are great, as they help in wearing down walls. Golisopod is an exceptional partner, as it provides both, Knock Off and Spikes support, and it helps check Zygarde-10%. Seismitoad sets Stealth Rock and also uses Knock Off. Ninetales can form a semi-sun core with Shiftry, which has good offensive synergy with Ninetales and can provide Knock Off support, although the lack of sun turns can limit the pair's effectiveness.

Ninetales is a niche setup sweeper in the RU tier, with access to Drought and good coverage it is able to setup in front of Pokemon such as Registeel, Sylveon, and Vileplume. Ninetales can threaten a wide variety of Pokemon such as Seismitoad, Gastrodon Rhyperior, Volcanion, and Steelix. With Nasty Plot and its coverage options Ninetales is able to break Steel-types in the tier such as Registeel and Metagross; Water-types such as Milotic and Suicune; and Ground-types such as Rhyperior and Seismitoad. Moreover its wallbreaking capabilities allows it to break opposing Fire-types such as Chandelure and Volcanion after a boost due to Nasty Plot with its coverage in Scorching Sands. (just some condensing here) Ninetales can also support sun-based sweepers such as Shiftry, and other sun-abusers like Darmanitan and Heliolisk because it enables them to sweep in the case of the former or to strengthen the power to great levels in the case of the latter two (this can be talked about with teammate options). Its moveset is Nasty Plot which is used to boost Ninetales's Special Attack to threatening levels to excel best at wallbreaking and to threaten a majority of the tier with sun-boosted hard hitting moves. Solar Beam grants Ninetales a strong coverage option to muscle past through bulky waters such as Milotic and Suicune. Toxic can be used to hit incoming walls and to wear them down such as Gigalith and Snorlax. Scorching Sands (typo) is a coverage option to hit Chandelure and Entei. Heavy-Duty Boots grants Ninetales some durability as it doesn't take damage from entry hazards and can therefore execute its job over a longer time. Alternatively, on sun-based teams, Heat Rock can be chosen to grant the sun-abusers such as Shiftry, Darmanitan, and Heliolisk more turns to abuse the sun set by Ninetales. (mention stiff competition from Torkoal here and how its usually preferred on full sun-based teams due to better bulk, Stealth Rock, and Yawn support) Drought is the preferred ability which gives Ninetales some power on its Fire-type STAB Move and to help it with its strongest coverage in Solar Beam. The nature is Timid as it outspeeds Chandelure non-Choice Scarf Darmanitan (Modest would still outspeed Chandelure), Obstagoon, and Roserade.

Despite its great boosted attacks due to Drought it has trouble bypassing Snorlax as Snorlax it can tank any hit Ninetales dishes out into its direction so teampartners Fighting-types such as Cobalion can deal with Snorlax. Ninetales in return can help with dealing with Doublade and bulky Water-types for Cobalion them. Ninetales can also bypass bulky waters such as Milotic and Seismitoad for Cobalion. Ninetales has trouble breaking bulky dDragons-types such as Noivern and Zygarde 10% Dragalge (Zygarde-10% is far from bulky and outspeeds you anyway. Dragalge eternally walls in the absence of Scorching Sands and can still take one in a pinch), so Choice Scarf Gardevoir is an excellent teampartner teammate helping with that, whereas Ninetales can blow through bulky Steel-types such as Registeel and Doublade; Gardevoir can also Healing Wish Ninetales back up late-game. On Sun-teams great teampartners are Shiftry, Darmanitan, and Heliolisk, Shiftry takes care of bulky Water- and Gorund-types such as Milotic and Rhyperior, whereas Darmanitan can just break holes with a Sheer Force-boosted Flare Blitz in sun. Heliolisk can also abuse the sun with its ability in Solar Power and therefore makes up for a great teampartner. Ninetales can help as a secondary sun-setter and breaker on full sun-based teams. Torkoal is an excellent teampartner due to its supportive nature in Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin and its better durability alongside Heat Rock, which grants the rest of the team more sun-turns to abuse. (this is to reflect the change in focus to almost strictly as a staondalone wallbreaker. Shiftry is fine as a mention as a way to finish off what Tales might have started, but that's about as far as I'd go since Heat Rock is no longer slashed and makes Shiftry far less reliable with the other two not really being necessary since Tales itself is the breaker.)

Not going to stamp this yet as there's a shift in focus QC as a whole is wanting to see. Of course, you know you can come to me to rattle off questions you have :)

EonEdit: Good job with the edits and focus shift. [QC 1/2]

Ninetales is a niche setup sweeper wallbreaker in the RU tier, with access to Drought and good coverage it is able to setup sets up in front of Pokemon such as Registeel, Sylveon, and Roserade Vileplume (Vileplume is very seldom seen.). Ninetales can threaten a wide variety of Pokemon such as Seismitoad, Rhyperior, Volcanion (Even Scorching Sands doesn't 2HKO and Volcanion 2HKOes back.), and Steelix. (You've done a great job explaining Ninetales's strengths, but it's a C+ ranked mon so put also an emphasis on its shortcomings like being pathetically weak when unboosted and stiff competition from Chandelure, Toxtricity, and Volcanion.) Its moveset is Nasty Plot which is used to boost boosts Ninetales's Special Attack to threatening levels to excel best at wallbreaking and to threaten a majority of the tier with sun-boosted hard hitting moves. Solar Beam grants Ninetales a strong coverage option to muscle past through bulky waters Water-types such as Milotic and Suicune. Toxic can be used to hit cripples incoming walls to wear them down such as Incineroar Gigalith (Gigalith is UR.) and Snorlax as well as Noivern. Scorching Sands is a coverage option to hit Dragalge, Chandelure,(AC) and Entei Incineroar. Heavy-Duty Boots grants Ninetales some durability as it doesn't take damage from entry hazards and can therefore execute its job over a longer time. Alternatively, on sun-based teams, Heat Rock can be chosen to grant the sun-abusers such as Shiftry, Darmanitan, and Heliolisk more turns to abuse the sun set by Ninetales, but it faces stiff competition from Torkoal as it helps sun-teams with better bulk, Stealth Rock, and the support with Yawn.

Ninetales in return can help with dealing with Doublade and bulky Fairy Water-types such as Galarian Weezing for them. Ninetales has trouble breaking bulky Dragon-types such as Noivern and Dragalge, so Fairy-types such as Togekiss, Sylveon, and Gardevoir deals with Noivern while bulky Steel-types like Registeel and Metagross can handle both. Choice Scarf Gardevoir is notably an excellent teammate helping with that, whereas Ninetales can blow through bulky Steel-types such as Registeel and Doublade; Gardevoir can also Healing Wish Ninetales back up late-game. (Some other things you can add on is Knock and hazards support, as Ninetales loves Noivern not having boots, Reuniclus AV, and Snorlax Leftovers to then have them be worn down by hazards. Notable Knock users are Thundurus, Mienshao, and Seismitoad which also provides rocks. Other notable hazard setters are Registeel, Metagross, and Golisopod. Golisopod especially works well with Ninetales, as it provides Knock + Spikes while checking Zygarde-10%.) Ninetales can also support sun-based sweepers such as Shiftry, and other sun-abusers like Darmanitan and Heliolisk.

id emphasize shiftry more, its a very decent offensive mon, good synergy w tales etc. only issue its got is that theres not a lot of sun turns available but theres def merit to running semi-sun cores
