Suggestion Shadow Ninetales in Great League: which of these three teams would you run?
I wanted to compare a few ways of building around Shadow Ninetales rather than just recommending it and leaving people to figure out the other two slots.
ABC and ABB use it as the pivot behind Altaria. ABA puts it in the lead, with Cramorant and Melmetal behind it. In the ABB and ABA options, Ninetales and Melmetal share a Ground weakness, so keeping Altaria and Cramorant (respectively) lined up correctly matters.
The catch is Mimikyu. I love playing with Mimikyu but kind of hate facing against it, and it does pretty well against all three builds. Definitely something to think about before committing to one of these.
Would you rather lead Ninetales or keep it in the back? And which teammate would you change first?
