Shadow Alolan Ninetales PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Alolan Ninetales lacks the stats to make an impact in the PvE scene. However, due to its exceptional Ice/Fairy typing that punishes Dragon Pokémon, you can consider using it against lower tier Dragon Raid Bosses or in down-the-wire situations where you have to rejoin a Raid Lobby against a powerful Dragon-type Boss. The same applies to Gyms as well, where it functions as a roadblock to Dragon Gym attackers.

Shadow Alolan Ninetales PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Chilling Water is a good addition to Alolan Ninetales’ movepool, helping it tackle Fire, Rock, and Steel types it previously struggled against. Moreover, it is guaranteed to debuff the opponent’s ATK, making Shadow Alolan Ninetales bulkier in the process. This excellent overall coverage helps establish Shadow Alolan Ninetales as a very strong part of the Great League, taking down Feraligatr, Shadow Steelix, Lickilicky, Corviknight, Wigglytuff, Cradily, and even Alolan Ninetales that don't have Chilling Water.

It's also the perfect switch-in to Dragon Pokémon. 🙌

🟡 Ultra League

With several Dragon and Dark types in the Ultra League, Shadow Alolan Ninetales is a menace out here. And with the addition of Chilling Water, even threats like Cresselia, Steelix, Armored Mewtwo, Tinkaton, and Florges can be defeated. Needless to say, it is also excellent against Giratina Altered. Overall, Shadow Alolan Ninetales is an invaluable part of any Ultra League team, built to win your matches! 👏

🟣 Master League

Despite a great type combination, its low stats leave Shadow Alolan Ninetales not good enough to compete in the Master League.
