Ninetales (Alola)

Life Orb Ninetales-Alola trades its usual bulk for raw output, since snow's chip damage matters less once the team is already winning the weather war. Timid with maxed Special Attack and Speed backed by Life Orb lets Blizzard and Freeze-Dry pick up knockouts on Mega Swampert and other bulky Water types that a standard Ninetales would miss. Moonblast covers the Fairy and Dragon threats that trouble the rest of the team. Kept in the back early, it lurks for a late Freeze-Dry or Blizzard once the opposing weather is removed and priority from Kingambit or Basculegion has softened the target.
