Probably a planet. The distinction between planet and dwarf planet turns on whether the body has demonstrated gravitational dominance. Planet Nine's existence (if it indeed exists) was inferred from alignments of other bodies' orbits, which makes for a very, very strong case that it's a planet and not a dwarf planet.
