Alolan Ninetales Moves
Moves List
Breeding's the move. Baby-Doll Eyes and Flail give Alolan Ninetales options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Water coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Blizzard and Moonblast. The egg moves push it further.

The offense anchors on Blizzard and Ice Beam, with Dark and Grass coverage and more adding reach. It's a workable movepool for Alolan Ninetales that handles most situations. Ice Beam and Blizzard give it enough punch where it matters.

Most of Alolan Ninetales's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Blizzard and Ice Beam, but Normal and Dark and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Alolan Ninetales Weakness
Type-wise, Alolan Ninetales takes extra damage from Steel, Fire, Poison, and Rock. Watch out for Steel attacks, those deal 4x damage. Dragon moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Alolan Ninetales's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Steel |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Poison, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Ice, Bug, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Dragon |
