Editor analysis
Kanto Ninetales is a top pick with a Worlds-winning pedigree. Its Energy Ball coverage is so effective that it has warped Water and Ground types around it. The Shadow is almost always preferred. Ninetales struggles against Dragons and rival Fire types, so build your team accordingly.
