Even if Ninetales got Energy Ball doesn't mean that it can beat Drizzletoad or T-tar. And Ninetails is often dead wieght on most teams apart from being the sun inducer. If it didn't have Drought, it would NU.
On the other Hand, Arcanine is good and actually viable for OU, even with intimidate or flash fire. It also looks better. So my vote goes for Arcanine.
Energy ball ones cannot beat t-tar and thats a fact.Common misconception. A bulky Ninetales with Will-O-Wisp will beat Tyranitar and as long as it can keep the sun up, also Politoed. That said, Arcanine is the stronger Pokemon. However, Ninetale's sun support is too valuable this Gen to justify shafting it for Arcanine ninety percent of the time. Ninetales' utility is too useful this Gen and that's why I think Ninetales is currently the better Pokemon.
The problem with Arcanine is that you have other Pokemon that can do its role better than it in OU. The monkey, Darmanitan, Chandelure, Heatran, Victini....
Ninetales, on the other hand, provides unique support to a team which makes her the best at what she does.
IMO, both are awesome, but I prefer Ninetales' design and the fact that she singlehandedly made my favorite Pokemon (Venusaur) viable in OU so I picked her.
Energy ball ones cannot beat t-tar and thats a fact.
A scarftar albeit rare and predictable can beat that Ninetales. Even setting up sr puts it in trouble. Secondly half of SS abusers can beat Ninetails. SS & Drizzle >> Drought.
And don't forget that for 4 gens , arcy has been better than the fox. As I said, without Drought, ninetails is terrible.
