This majestic arctic fox makes a glorious return to Doubles! Alolan Ninetales's high Speed tier in combination with Aurora Veil makes it the best snow setter and an excellent support for fearsome setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Baxcalibur, which sets up more easily thanks to Aurora Veil and snow support. Blizzard is Alolan Ninetales's strongest attack, 2HKOing Amoonguss and Landorus-T. Encore forces out slower status users such as Cresselia, discourages opposing setup users like Iron Hands, and punishes Protect and Fake Out users that try to stall out Aurora Veil and snow. Moonblast hits Chien-Pao. Light Clay ensures that Ninetales needs to set Aurora Veil less often and spends less time on the field. Tera Ghost makes Alolan Ninetales immune to Fake Out from Pokemon such as Iron Hands, which can allow it to set up Aurora Veil more easily, and it provides a late-game opportunity to set it up again. Other great teammates are Choice Specs Iron Bundle, whose Blizzard is guaranteed to hit in snow, and Ogerpon-W, which sets up with Swords Dance and hits the Fire-types that threaten Alolan Ninetales.

This majestic arctic fox is one who should not be messed with! Alolan Ninetales makes a great support on weather teams Weather teams isn't correct here, it's the core of a Snow team, being a great upgrade to Abomasnow and is able to turn off other weather., due to its above average Speed and Defense thanks to its ablilty, Snow Warning. This makes it sound like Snow Warning boosts speed. ATale's defense is actually quite mediocre, so you would want to mention that it increases its own survivability instead of saying it has above average defense. It's really a side note. What makes its speed tier stand out is fast Aurora veil. Blizzard with its ablitly ability makes it not be able to miss , allowing for it to deal solid damage to most Pokemon in the tier, 2HKOing Pokemon like Amoongus. "Blizzard hits are guaranteed in Snow, 2HKOing Amoonguss and Landorus" or something like that. Blizzard is a pretty strong move, but it's not specially invested off an 81 base stat and most targets are neutral. It hits a few things hard, so just mention those. Moonblast can be used to help with Dark-types such as Chien-Pao, it only hits Chien-Pao, no other relevant Dark type it does significant damage to while Encore can be used to trap slower Pokemon. remove period here and merge these sentences forcing it out and allowing for Alolan Ninetales teammates to setup. It doesn't trap opponents, but it does force them out for being locked into a move (discouraging setup). Remove the mention of trapping. Aurora Veil reduces the amount of damage its teammates take, making them harder to handle. Mention something like it's another way it assists with teammates setting up here, "harder to handle" is too vague. Fast Aurora veil is the star of the show for this set, so it should probably be mentioned first and elaborated on more. Light Clay ensures that Aurora Veil lasts for 8 turns. Tera Ghost makes Alolan Ninetales immune to Fake out from Pokemon such as Iron Hands, which can allow for it to setup Aurora Veil easier. Alolan Ninetales fits well on hyper offensive and weather teams that try to overwhelm the opponent. Alolan Ninetales can pair well with Ice-type partners such as Iron Bundle particularly because Bundle also wants to use Blizzard because of the accuracy and Chien-pao Baxcalibur Bax is a better mention here, as it benefits much more strongly from Veil and the Snow defense buff as it's a setup mon, helping them sustain more damage allowing for them to live longer. "increasing their survivability" or something, this is worded a bit strangely.
Not 1/1 yet, I'll need to recheck due to the length of this check. Ping/DM me on Discord if you need help!

In addition to mentioning Aurora Veil first, please change the move order so it's first there as well.

This majestic arctic fox makes a glorious return to Doubles! Alolan Ninetales is a great core Pokemon for snow, being a great upgrade to Abomasnow, due to its above average Speed letting it be a fast Aurora Veil setter, and it can increase its own survivability thanks to its ability. Aurora Veil reduces the amount of damage its teammates take, letting them live longer and assisting them to setup. Alolan Ninetales' high Speed tier in combination with Aurora Veil make it the best Snow setter, and an excellent support for fearsome setup attackers such as Swords Dance Baxcalibur, who sets up much easier with Aurora Veil's damage reduction and increased defense from Snow. Blizzard is Alolan Ninetales' strongest attack, 2HKOing Amoongus and Landorus-T. Moonblast can be used to hit Chien-Pao, while Encore can be used to force out slower Pokemon, discouraging setup and allowing for Alolan Ninetales teammates to setup. Encore forces out slower, utility-focused foes such as Cresselia, discourages opposing setup users like Iron Hands, and punishes foes who use Protect and Fake Out to stall out Aurora Veil and Snow. Moonblast is a second damaging option that hits Chien-Pao. Light Clay ensures that Aurora Veil lasts for 8 turns, so that Ninetales needs to set it less often, and spend less time on the field. Tera Ghost makes Alolan Ninetales immune to Fake out from Pokemon such as Iron Hands, which can allow it to setup Aurora Veil easier, and provides a late game opportunity to set it up again. Alolan Ninetales fits well on hyper offense and weather teams that try to overwhelm the opponent. Alolan Ninetales can pairs well with Ice-type partners like Iron Bundle and Baxcalibur, increasing their survivability thanks to Aurora Veil and the Snow defense buff letting Iron Bundle use Blizzard better because of the accuracy and letting Baxcalibur setup. Other great teammates are Choice Specs Iron Bundle, whose Blizzard is guaranteed to hit in Snow, and Ogerpon-Wellspring who seeks to set up with Swords Dance and hits the Fire types who threaten Ninetales.

I've condensed some of the information, added a little bit of detail, and rephrased some of the sentences, copy paste and it’s gp ready.
