Alolan Ninetales Guide: Builds and Best ItemsComment

ALOLAN IS JUST BETTER

aurora veil and dazzling gleam,op healing man.Awesome moveset

Tier list is bad but the developers need to buff this character. Considering the mobility and damage a lot of the truly better mon have, Avalanche especially but also Blizzard need an attack range buff. Dazzling gleam can get a range buff too since as a stun its lasting effect isn't anything write home about. Comparing even just the stats alone to say a Gardevoir, it's clear there's many problems. Gardevoir gets cooldown reductions ontop of already better spell damage too.

>>14 the reason for using avalanche instead of dazzling gleam is to increase snow warnings affect. Dazzling gleam and blizzard feels like a fusion food that sounds smart but isn't that great

>>28 I forgot to mention the moveset I use is Aurora veil and dazzling gleam

The moveset that I've found very effective is shell bell to slightly heal with dazzling gleam and to decrease the amount of time it takes to get aurora veil. I also use wise glasses to increase sp atk. Finally I use rapid fire scarf to speed up Aurora veil boosted attack

The build I use is Aurora veil and Dazzling gleam. Personally, I use scope lens and max critical hit emblems to get the best out of her boosted attacks/aurora veil since she has a 0% base crit-rate. It's not ideal, but it's worth it when the crits start kicking in. I also use rapid fire scarf and muscle band for constant speed reduction. The only major setback to the build is lack of endurance and minor mobility, but you could run eject button or x speed.

Please, put rapid fire scarf into concern because it increases less attack(useless for her) but more attack speed than muscle band

>>22 shell bell works but not the scope lens

Basically umm, i think we all agree that mamoswine is kinda hard to take on while using ninetales, right?

How is this S tier? This should be degraded down to A or C, It's excruciatingly terrible in the Theia Sky Ruins, like whoever uses this as part of the meta in the new map is a total idiot.

So yeah and I have a question. Does scope Lens and shell bell work with her?

I think the freeze build is good because I get Chased a lot and the freezing PLUS the wall from Avalanche and the Eject Button. I think you get chased a lot too! That is why I think the Freeze build is good!

Does scoop lens works with alolan ninetails?

>>14 Muscle band works well with both SPECIAL ATTACKERS and PHYSICAL ATTACKERS as musle increases the damage of basic attacks and also increases the speed of basic attack (regardless of physical or special attacker). If you use the move Arora Veil, then musle band is a must item, muscle band is a God gift for players who use arora veil😇!! Hope I was able to clear your dought!! And also thank you so much @game8.co for giving us such good information’s!! 😊

>>17 Muscle band works very well with alolan ninetails because alolan ninetails moves have a long cooldown, and ninetails has to rely on her basic attacks whenever her moves are on cooldown. Muscle band not only increases Attack stat (for PHYSICAL ATTACKERS) but also increses damage of basic attacks and also increses speed. So mucsle band works well with alolan ninetails.

Why muscle band? An attack item to a special pokemon?

>>14 Yes I really agree with you But still don't you think there matchup and counters guides are wrong I think ninetails can beat more Pokemon

people really sleeping on how busted avalanche > blizzard is. in a game so centered on mobility, the ability to just send people to the CC dimension is pretty insane. avalanche > blizzard > unite outright deletes squishies, which is especially relevant at zap since they’ll often have no chance to use their ult.

Personally I think Dazzling Gleam & Blizzard are a must, avalanche is just BAD that skill is literally useless in comparison. Mobility is inherently Ninetails main issue, she will be destroyed by a Lucario, Absol, Gengar, etc, but not if you play it right. This is WHAT your unite ability is for. Say your enemy team is majority speedy f*ks then take the L, but Dazzling gleam disabling opponents, and blizzard knocking them back and freezing, you can’t get better utility and damage than that.
