Strategy & play

How Alolan Ninetales-GX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Blizzard Edge) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥105 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Alolan Vulpix; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Alolan Ninetales-GX

  • Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥105 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

How can I tell if my Alolan Ninetales-GX is real?
