They're As Cold As Ice (Alolan Sandslah vs Alolan Ninetales)

The Alola games introduced two Alolan forms of beloved Kanto Pokemon, Sandslash and Ninetales, and they were both made into ice types! Sandslash became Ice/Steel, while Ninetales became Ice/Fairy.

So the simple question for this poll is; which one is your favorite?

I'm going to go with Sandslash, because the typing is cool, and the design with all the spiky icicles is awesome.

Alolan Sandslash because I just love the typing and think it's awesome.

i like alolan ninetales a bit more. imo, i like ninetales a bit more. competitively, both are nightmares to use since they both have 4x weakness but Sandslash got the worst of the two. because of ice/steel, well, obviously, it won't have much fun against fighting types and fire types. at least ninetales only has one. but personally, i appreciate sandslash's badass design. and ninetales' regal design is 10/10.

Steel and Ice are arguably my two favorite types, so Sandslash should be my pick, but I fell in love with Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales from the first time I saw them. On their own they're both Pokemon I love, but my vote has to go to Ninetales here.

Having not really used either I think I prefer Ninetales just because of overall design and creativity even if it's new shiny form isn't very unique.

I think Alolan Sandslash has a pretty interesting/clever design, certainly more interesting than its original form, but I prefer Ninetales as well!

Alolan Ninetales because it's so beautiful.

I love both of them but I'd have to go with Alolan Ninetales. How could I not after SOS Hunting for a Shiny one for my team .

Havent voted on this and honestly I can't freaking decide because I love both of them... like seriously. I suppose if I had to give the edge, it'd be Vulpix because Vulpix is love, Vulpix is life!!!

It's honestly a tie between them because they're both great Pokémon, so well designed in my opinion, with excellent typings. But despite owning Moon, I did get my sister to send over Alolan Vulpix for a reason! It's gorgeous. Nintetales gets my vote!

Do you even have to ask?

Alolan Ninetales is clearly superior.

I like Alolan Sandslash... but my vote here has to go to Alolan Ninetales. Can't beat that majestic design!

Hnnn, Alolan Ninetales. It's so lovely.

I like Alolan Sandslash, I really do. It was a much needed update to a somewhat mediocre Pokemon.

But.........


How can you not LOVE this gorgeous foxy friend!?!?

Ninetales. Mostly because I don't like the design of A-Sandslash much ahha, while Ninetales looks amazing :3

tbh I'd be surprised if alolan sandslash had even a single vote yet alone four.

I fell it love with Alolan Ninetales ever since I've seen it, so I'll give my vote to it.

But I like Alolan Sandslash more and more and can't wait to shiny hunt it in my SQB Challenge in Ultra Moon.

*Cough* Alolan Ninetales (Ice/Fairy) <- that's why you voted for it no?

I gotta vote for the underdog here, my boy Coldsteel the Hedgehog. I've always liked Sandslash better than Ninetales, and both of their Alolan variants were designed well enough that my preference carried over. It is undeniable that Alolan Ninetales is better in USUM OU, though.

Has to be Alolan Ninetales for me. I liked Ninetales to begin with, and while Snaslash is also cool it's a distinct second for me.
