[OVERVIEW]
* Ninetales-Alola is a staple on Aurora Veil teams because it is the second fastest Aurora Veil setter, and the only viable pokemon with Snow Warning and Aurora Veil.
* Ninetales-Alola's high Speed stat allows it to use Hypnosis to put opposing Pokemon to sleep.
* Ninetales-Alola's Ice and Fairy STAB moves allow it to hit many of the common types in the tier
* Ninetales-Alola is threatened by opposing Weather setters like Groudon-Primal, Kyogre-Primal, and Tyranitar, because their weather can prevent Ninetales-Alola from setting up Aurora Veil
* Ninetales-Alola is unviable without Aurora Veil, so Aurora Veil should always be used.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========
* Aurora Veil allows for Ninetales-Alola to support the Pokemon on it's team by halving all damage that they take from opposing Pokemon's attacks, which increases the chances for Pokemon on your team to attack back or set up, but make sure it is used while Hail is active, or it will not work.
* Hypnosis can put opposing pokemon to sleep before Ninetales-Alola sets up Aurora Veil.
* Freeze-Dry is useful for hitting Water types like Kyogre-Primal and Arceus-Water, which normally resist Ninetales-Alola's Ice STAB, though the damage output on everything else is lower than Blizzard.
* Blizzard is Ninetales-Alola's strongest option, having the chance to OHKO Rayquaza-Mega with Stealth Rocks, Zygarde-Complete, and 2HKO Arceus-Ground, as well as having perfect accuracy while Hail is up
* Moonblast is a good secondary STAB, being able to heavily damage Marshadow and Yveltal, and is more reliable than Blizzard without Hail
