B--> B+ I feel like this thing is being underrated and B rank is underselling it. It can take on a huge portion of the meta with ease. It beats everything in S other than Suicune and is one of the few things that can repeatedly come into stuff like banded Arcanine and is a hard stop to...

Amoonguss B+ ---> A-: On the fence. Mainly because I don't think it's much better than Tangrowth or MegaVensaur. It just kinda of sits there and does nothing after it spores something. Not to mention While it fits well on sand BO it doesn't do well against sand BO since common mons on sand BO...

A- ---> B+. This would be one of my last picks for an offensive fairy. Diance is a better offensive fairy with it's better speed and more useful secondary stab. Choice BAND Azurmaril an knock holes into teams better than this without eating a mega slot. For a middling speed tier mega this...

The biggest problem with Skarmory and why it should always be ranked at least one sub rank below Ferro is that it just sits there and does nothing after it has got it's hazards down. It kinda even shows in the Latios matchup you posted. What is Skarm gonna do after it tanks that HP fire? Tickle...

Any reason why Tangrowth is in B-? B- is low for a mon that checks so much shit. It hard checks nearly every water and physical attacker in the tier. It's physical bulk is absolutely obscene, and assult vest patches up it's terrible SP def and allows it to reliably counter shit like ZAM. Phy...

Thoughts on Clefable Dropping from S--> A+? Clef is fantastic mon. However, the current meta is not too kind to it. First off, Volcanion just kinda dicks all over it and being a free switch in to Volcanion and giving it free reign to spam it's stabs is not a good thing at all. Not to...

Agree with Tangrowth to A-. Tangrowth simply walls too much of the tier and has too many options to pick it's counters to be anything less than A- Nominating Scizor up to B+. Banded set is very good right now with Bullet bunch picking off lots of frail shit and knocking holes into bulky builds...

Nominating Tangrowth from B to B+ With the ability to check virtually every Water/Ground and Electric, Tangrowth is a very good alternative to Mega Venusaur on balance teams. With Regenerator it is very hard to wear down and is extremely difficult to OHKO It's also customizable fuck and has...

Azumarill: A+ -> S It's fine in A+ Choice Band set is very prediction reliant and BD has difficulty setting up and is not hard to revenge with the plethora of water resists. Ferrothorn: A -> A+ Great typing, excellent movepool, it's raw bulk lets it go toe to toe with anything not carrying...

Garchomp is up there with Azumarril and Mega Scizor as the best mon in A+, but S seems a bit too much. It can run a variety of sets but only the truly good sets are obviously Bulky helmet and possibly Berry SD; But even they have their weaknesses such as the lack of recovery and being easily...

Tangrowth for A- This thing is really good, especially with Pidgeot gone. It's extremely bulky and difficult to wear down. Let's look at the things it counters: Feraligatr, Mega Aero, Mega Swampert, Suicune, Krookodile, Mega Sharpedo, Slowking Along with nearly every Physical attacker...

Nominating Tangrowth B- -> B. This thing is actually really good and pretty anti meta right now. Assault Vest checks half of OU and is really difficult to kill. Excadrill, Hippowdown, Keldeo, Mega Gyarados, non Bounce Gyarados, Landorus-T, Mega Lopunny, Thundurus, Starmie, Rotom-W, Slowbro...

I think both Dragonite and Garchomp should drop to A-. As long as Mega Mence exists in OU they are nowhere as effective. Every team being over prepared for Mega mence for really limits their effectiveness since they all share pretty much share the same checks.

Mega Slowbro A------> A+. Full stop to nearly every physical attacker and a godly calm mind user. This guy needs to move up. Tyranitar A- -------> A. It seems better and easier to fit onto teams than the other -A ranks. Sand is always good. Banded set is a bitch to switch into. Stuff that...

Azumarrill A+---->A It Is no longer the ultimate glue pokemon. Geninja now destroys it with Gunk shot and several of the new threats just muscle past it. Garchomp A+ -----> A It has poor match ups vs many of the new megas and the general speed creep hasn't done it any favors. Thundurus A+...
