Good Hold Item for Ninetales?
I have a competitive Ninetales (non Alolan) in Pokémon Moon, and I’m not sure what I should do about it’s hold item.Other info; Male, Shiny, ability is Flash Fire, Lv. 100, Timid nature, moveset:OverheatEnergy BallDark PulseNasty Plot
Current Held Item: Razor Claw
I’m unsure if I should give it a different item or keep it with a Razor Claw.(Note: I have this Ninetales on a battle team, and the items on the other Pokémon on that team are Power Herb, Life Orb, Leftovers, Rocky Helmet, and Splash Plate, so please don’t suggest any of these items.)

I think according to your moveset, the best item should be Choice Specs; your Ninetales should have apretty decent speed stat and with your moveset, you only need to increase its attack power. Earlier I was going to recommend a Choice Scarf but considering its already above average speed combined with timid nature, all you need to focus on is increasing its Special Attack (which is pretty average as you know). The only way you can utilise it is by turning it into a good Special Sweeper as it can fulfil no other roles in your team. But just beware of the fact that though choice specs boost special attack, it will only allow one move to be used so you might have to switch out your Ninetales more often when pitted against different foes in the same battle. However to use them you need to get rid of nasty plot and replace it with any other powerful special attack of your choice since status moves can’t work with choice specs.If you still aren’t sure I recommend you search and look at the answers for the moveset question for Ninetales on pokebaseQ&A.Hope I helped. :)))
