Focus SashNinetales-Alola is listed as a Ice/Fairy type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Ninetales-Alola fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Snow Warning, Focus Sash and Hardy 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Blizzard, Protect, Encore, Freeze-Dry, Disable, and Aurora Veil. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Ninetales-Alola has important weaknesses to steel 4x, fire 2x, poison 2x, rock 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as incineroar, sneasler, kingambit, gengar-mega, and garchomp appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
