Shadow Ninetales

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Lickilicky(#1) · Tinkaton(#2) · Corviknight(#13), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it resists Fire · Grass · Ice · Bug · Steel · Fairy, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Water · Ground · Rock, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Mimikyu (usage rank #12), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
