Ninetales is one of the best wallbreakers in the tier due to its access to Drought and Nasty Plot as well as its good Speed tier, allowing it to get past most of the tier with its powerful attacks. It faces competition as a special wallbreaker from Salazzle, which is faster and has a strong secondary STAB option but Ninetales is still a great pick thanks to its decent bulk and its ability to get past bulky Rock- and Water-types with Solar Beam. Toxic is used to cripple Ninetales's checks such as Rapidash, Turtonator, and Coalossal, as well as pressure Snorlax. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Ninetales to switch in more often even with hazards on the field and threaten Sticky Web teams; however, Heat Rock should be used instead on sun teams.

Ninetales works very well alongside wallbreakers such as Virizion and Swords Dance Rillaboom. It also appreciates pivots like Passimian and Choice Scarf Rillaboom, which can bring it in safely to threaten their checks such as Vileplume. Passimian, as well as other Fighting-types such as Gallade and Bewear, can also take on Snorlax for Ninetales. Since Ninetales struggles against some Fire-types such as Rapidash and Turtonator, checks such as Jellicent, Lanturn, and Snorlax make for great partners. Ninetales also pairs very well with Pokemon that can take advantage of Drought, such as Vileplume, Leafeon, and Charizard, which can help Ninetales break walls. If using Heat Rock, hazard control from the likes of Xatu and Silvally-Steel is greatly appreciated as Ninetales can't switch in as often with hazards on the field.

"Psyshock can be used instead to hit Centiskorch and Snorlax for much more damage."

this sounds misleading cuz it barely does anything to lax

good job otherwise!

Ninetales is one of the best wallbreakers in the tier due to its access to Drought and Nasty Plot and its good Speed tier, allowing it to get past most of the tier with its powerful attacks. It does faces competition as a special wallbreaker from Salazzle,(RC) which is faster and has a strong secondary STAB, but Ninetales is still a great pick thanks to its decent bulk and its ability to get past bulky Rock- and Water-types with Solar Beam,(RC) on top of being able to setting sun. Toxic is used to cripple its checks such as Centiskorch, Rapidash, and Coalossal, as well as pressure Snorlax. Psyshock can be used instead to hit Centiskorch neutrally and do some more damage to Snorlax than Fire Blast. Heat Rock is the item of choice for sun teams, but otherwise Ninetales should run Heavy-Duty Boots as it allows it to switch in more often even with hazards on the field and threaten Sticky Web teams.

Ninetales works very well alongside wallbreakers such as Virizion and Swords Dance Rillaboom. It also appreciates pivots like Passimian and Scarf Rillaboom,(RC) which can bring it in safely to threaten their checks,(RC) such as Vileplume. Passimian, as well as and other Fighting-(AH)types such as Gallade and Bewear,(RC) can also take on Snorlax for Ninetales.

Ninetales is one of the best wallbreakers in the tier due to its access to Drought and Nasty Plot and as well as its good Speed tier, allowing it to get past most of the tier with its powerful attacks. It faces competition as a special wallbreaker from Salazzle, (AC) which is faster and has a strong secondary STAB option, but Ninetales is still a great pick thanks to its decent bulk and its ability to get past bulky Rock- and Water-types with Solar Beam on top of being able to set sun (fluff since you already mentioned drought). Toxic is used to cripple its Ninetales's checks such as Centiskorch, Rapidash, and Coalossal, as well as pressure Snorlax. Psyshock can be used instead to hit Centiskorch neutrally and do more damage to Snorlax than Fire Blast. Heat Rock is the item of choice for sun teams, but otherwise Ninetales should run Heavy-Duty Boots as it allows it allows Ninetales to switch in more often even with hazards on the field and threaten Sticky Web teams; however, Heat Rock should be used instead on sun teams. (reworked this to match the order on the set)

Implemented. Also removed all Centiskorch mentions and the Psyshock mention as there's no point without Centiskorch in the tier.
Should be ready to be uploaded.
