I think Game Freak should expand Ninetale's default movepool to include all the Grudge variants. It only learns Grudge as a Vulpix, meaning if it loses it after evolution, its locked out of it forever. Game Freak should give it Grudge, Destiny Bond, and Memento. For battle purposes, I think Destiny Bond is the only useful one, but aesthetically, I'd like it to get all three.
I've been using Ninetales lately in Rotation to set up sun. It's great, it can make it last for 8 turns thanks to Heat Rock, but Ninetales is literally dead weight after that (unless I need to set sun up again). Anything Ninetales can kill, my other Pokemon can as well. As far as dead weight goes, Destiny Bond at least allows Ninetales to take down slower Pokemon that it couldn't otherwise hurt with its unboosted SpA stat--if a vengeful fox is going to die, I'd like to think that it would take its opponent with it in the most petty way possible.
