Ninetales has a small niche as a Choice Scarf user due to its decent Speed stat and typing, being able to outspeed up to Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan and Zacian-C, while also being able to provide sun support. However, Ninetales lacks offensive power, being rather weak outside sun, and lacks movepool options, which limits its capabilities. Fire Blast makes the best use out of its offensive capabilities, being able to revenge kill offensive Steel-types in the sun such as Zacian-C and Excadrill as well as OHKO Corviknight. Energy Ball is a coverage move that gives Ninetales a option to OHKO Quagsire and also damage Rotom-W and Jellicent. Overheat can be considered as a secondary STAB move with superior damage output at the cost of lowering Special Attack by two stages. Due to its lack of attacking options, Ninetales resorts to support moves. Hypnosis is a decent sleep inducing move to catch predicted switch-ins by surprise that easily wall Ninetales such as Eternatus or Toxapex. Memento helps to provide setup opportunities for teammates such as Agility Eternatus and Swords Dance Zacian-C when Ninetales cannot be utilized in other ways.

Ninetales requires hazard removal support to function effectively. Corviknight is an ideal partner for Ninetales, as it is able to provide Defog support and check cores of Tyranitar and Excadrill, which Ninetales struggles to deal with. Charizard appreciates the sun support that Ninetales provides, being a good offensive partner with good wallbreaking potential under the sun. Pokemon that deal with Eterantus and Toxapex such as Hatterene and Choice Specs Gothitelle also make good offensive options to deal, and Umbreon makes a sturdy defensive check to Eternatus.

Memento helps out other team members allowing for easier setup, in exchange of sacrificing Ninetales. Memento is best used when there is no longer a need to keep Ninetales around to do anything else significant.

These two sentences read awkwardly and don't really present any information that isn't already obvious. I would rewrite.

QC: 1/2

I still wonder if NP or even Eject Pack + Overheat into trapper is better but until we have a solid idea this is fine for now.

QC 2/2
