Time for a VR post. I'll be putting a couple things I think are good up for takes, aswell as a couple URs that deserve to be on here.
UR -> C/B-
This mon is stupid. Another pokemon made far better by tera, tera goltres finds setup opportunities fairly easily from Pult, Gholdengo, and others. It has some bad matchups like Tyranitar and Kingambit, but this can be worked around with Tera Fighting, though personally i like Tera Steel, as it helps flip the script vs Lele and uses it as setup fodder. I only have one replay, but I think alot of Goltres's values can be inferred fairly easily, so more than that isn't entirely needed imo. Try him out, he's broken.

A+ -> S-
Pretty much a second vouch on what hidin put prior, but these 2 are incredibly good rn. Kingambit imo is a step above of heatran and certainly of Gholdengo, fantastic pursuit trapper and wincon. While Mega Lopunny is very clear of the other megas not named Scizor, momentum game and it's MU into offense is incredible. Highly support these 2 being 3rd and 4th respectively.
B- -> B+
Now unlike my previous vouch for hidin, idk who is loading tera fairy and tera ghost kyurem. Tera ground is where it's at, as boosting earth power allows it to completely flip the script on Mega Scizor, who's generally a solid check to it under normal circumstances. Additionally, an underrated factor of tera for kyurem allows it to shore up it's hazards vulnerability a fair bit, grants it a sand immunity which while minor does help vs Mega Ttar, who's not a terrible soft check in the short term. Of course, Tera water is also nice in this regard. What you lose from tera ground you keep in the godlike MU vs Rain. Truthfully tera grass can do this too, if Kartana is something of a concern to you. This is just subroost btw, if your running specs which i have to great success, Tera Ground is where it's at. Comparable to Lele, it trades it's power for superior defensive profile, rain and lower vulnerability to pursuit. Obviously lele is better, but i dont find it that far out of Kyurems reach. Underexplored, give em a try.
B -> A-
How is this a B rank. This things MU spread rn is nothing short of incredible. Great Tusk, big Lopp, Buzzwole (i'll get to you later), Mega Scizor, Zamazenta a bit, and especially Torn-T. These are all high profile targets buzzwole aside, and this thing keeps its solid speed tier as both a wall and a breaker. Offensively it's solid, Flyinium-Z sets are solid at what they do and it's place is similar to SS in that regard. Defensively i've already gone over it's profile, but 3A roost pivot is fantastic, personally i find it's a subpar defogger and losing out on an attack hinders what its capable of by a noticeable degree, so i would just not bother and find removal in other ways, though it's not horrible at that specific task, i just find it's better used in other aspects. I also see the potential for other Z moves, namely electrium, taking note of Garganacl as a defensive check, and since 50% of our grounds in the meta don't particularly like Zapdos, I think this is more viable than last time and is worth considering. Overall static is very broken, this pokemon causes disruption very well, and it's worth it to use him over Torn-T on a good amount of occasions. Good mon, use him.
B- -> B
No, this mon is not out just yet. Gholdengo was a blow, as is the recovery nerf. However for the former, did i not mention pursuit kingambit? Of course, Gholdengo sometimes will pack things that mess with this pairing, such as Focus blast or Tera types, this most certainly isnt always the case for the former, and the latter you need to both stay in, and burn a valuable resource just to not get popped. Kingambit aside, my point is Gholdengo is both not a pokemon always present, nor a pokemon immovable when it is here. What does it do? Do you even need to ask, the usual. Rocker, Twave, and probably the most coveted? Garganacl. Everybody tripping over themselves to slot a covert cloak on a 6 when they could instead look into Clef. It's good matchups don't end there though, Mega Lopp will get chipped by helmet, and Zama-Hero doesn't always run Iron head, and thus gets annoyed heavily by Clef's presence. Overall a solid utility pick, with other sets like LO being useable aswell. CM is shit dont bother lmao
B -> B+
In my eyes, the peak of HO Danger atm. It's attacks are mostly unresisted across the meta, and it's bulk is nothing to sneeze at especially under screens. Very hard to check outside of Ferrothorn, and on HO you bounce off of other sweepers. On HO, this is a default pick in my eyes, the kind of pokemon you use, period. VERY good. I also think it has potential on BO too, but this is both underexplored and untested, so this idea could be trash, but I think it can have merit. That said, I think this deserves to rise.
B+ -> A-
I'm shocked this ever dropped. Easily one of the hardest things to switch into, with added tools like Spikes, it can be an effective offensive spiker that tusk and really any hazard removal wants nothing to do with, in the same vein as Ash Gren from SS. Of course, spikes loses out on the power its 4A set has. Rock Fairy Fire Ground is insanely powerful coverage, and Diancie has the stats to grab 2hkos or OHKOs vs the entire tier on the right call. Entry points do exist such as Torn, Zapdos, and pivots on BO aren't in low supply to supplement it otherwise. If there's one drawback, it's that Tera doesn't play nicely with it. Other than that though, this thing is excellent.
Pretend gliscor is here
C -> B-/B
This pokemon still got it. It does the exact same shit as before, SD tera sets are interesting, Tera Normal Facade hits hard, but i think it's better with tera types that add defensive utility. Tera Steel is probably best, but uh dont activate that before your poisoned lmao. That said, tera steel allows u to mess with Lele, while the idea of Tera grass is surprisingly interesting, as you now fodder ferrothorn, you already beat Heatran, and the water resist pays well vs rain.
-> UR
Yall got hidden talent. keep it hidden. Trash, get em outta here.
Aint got any replays of him but uh rank mandibuzz aight pce
A -> A+ This mon is not OK Tera Grass is extremely threatening to a huge amount of common structures, and most switch ins get messed up by Taunt or Toxic if you can fit it, even if you can't it's a really good rocker and most builds are still lacking in a real switch in to this. Defensive sets are also really useful for a check to Sciz, Lele, and Tera Grass defensively lures a lot of stuff too. A is criminally low for a mon that is this effective, you could even make an argument for S but I'm keeping this on the conservative side.
A- -> A Extremely useful for almost any offense, has the coverage for just about everything as well as useful resists in a meta with so much Dark and Fighting-type offense. Multiple options for sets and coverage too so its hard to predict, definitely one of our most effective offensive options right now.
A- -> A This thing's worst matchup was Espa HO, so it being banned is very useful as its very good into most of the rest of the meta. Very effective into most of the balance and fat structures that are running around right now and generally rly annoying lol. A would be an appropriate place for this imo.
B+ -> A Gargler is a stupid wincon, great into a huge amount of the meta and very easy to support with other fat teammates as long as you are playing well. I really believe that Garg based fat will become a premier playstyle post Espa since Garg can actually get going more easily into the current structures that I'm seeing and Espa HOs were not a good matchup for him. Great mon.
B -> B+ Has some nice defensive traits in checking the fighters but I think where this really shines is FuturePort, which is something that I think needs to be explored more. We have some stupid breakers that many defensive cores have just one answer to or can just barely hang on against, and Slowbro supports those mons in spades, especially if it's a breaker that doesn't like Toxapex very much. Tera Dark can also mess with Gambit and Pult. Cool mon.
C -> B This mon is nuts right now, yes it has some really common switch ins named Heatran and Toxapex, but fortunately you can just U-turn out of those and the rest of the meta is really not equipped to defensively handle this, and it pairs great with Koko for that juicy boost. STABs+Eball wrecks a bunch of common cores and you are powerful enough to run boots which makes longevity much less of an issue. Pair with Future Sight for some real magic. Either way C is a crime for something this effective, just needs some support but nothing unreasonable in the slightest.
C -> B- Has some nice traits for the meta, checks Heatran, helps against some Ghold variants, and Toxic variants can help out against Ape. These traits make it a good choice for some of the current fat structures. Also PHeal makes the Roost nerf a slightly lesser issue. Far from amazing but perfectly usable.
B+ -> B / B- This thing was bad even before Espa was banned and now that Espa is gone I can take this off of a lot of teams. Ting-Lu and Hippo (hell I'd rather use Glisc in a lot of cases) are almost always better options its super passive and dies to anything with Taunt, and most of the stuff its supposed to beat can beat it if they choose the right Tera.
B- -> C None of what this traps is actually good right now except for Kartana and Skarm, but fat Torn fits on like everything atm so there's no real reason to run it for Kart and Skarm can be abused by other teammates. I guess certain offenses that rly hate Skarm could use it but outside of that role idk why you would run this, I've yet to see a team this gen that has even remotely needed its services. (Edit: Somehow forgot about Ferrothorn lmao but Ferro can just Tera and most teams can break it without zone so I think the above points still stand.)
UR > C 
Nihilego UR -> C
