Going to lay out some thoughts about the new tier so far.
I sincerely think that this mon is busted out the behind and to me, it is more scary then terrak and far worse than mimikyu, and I really hope that we get rid of this thing as soon as possible. Of course, lycanroc was excellent before the month began, but I think it has become much better.
First of all, preparing for lycanroc has become much much harder. Before the shifts, it was a given that one had to fit a scarfer on, either jirachi/mienshao/keldeo/mowtom is most cases, which made revenging lycan much simpler, however, ive found that fitting on a scarfer is very difficult right now, especially now that jirachi is banned and mienshao and keldeo have suffered from shifts. The most common structure seen atm is something along the lines of slowbro/rhyperior/zarude/noivern/fairy check/filler, and mienshao and especially keld are just deadweight vs these teams, vern is everywhere and always paired with a slowbro/king so locked keld is awful, mienshao also struggles more vs these types of builds. Not only are the scarfers pretty bad, but there is just no room to fit them on; it is difficult to create a good team with a scarfer on it especially when we have no real steels and every slot is valuable. The only real reason to use these is to revenge lycan and ig vern, bc vern can revenge most of the tier anyway and is on every team essentially taking the role of the scarfer, just like pre dlc again basically.
Another big difference from pre shifts is that now lycan gets infitely more opportunites-it is easy to say that a mons coverage can destroy a team, but it is not so easy to actually go out and do it. Lycan has always had the coverage and excellent speed tier being higher than the musketeers and lisk to shred teams-the arcehtype i layed out before gets shredded by rock move/crunch/cc-but now, it is easier to do so. You dont have to run sucker for scarfrachi anymore, you dont need to worry about breaking skarm, palo usage is going down, the scarfers are going down, all of these trends benefit lycanrcoc tremendously. Also, Noivern is everywhere, and lycanroc is one of the best mons at taking advantage of a -2 noivern. I have played several games in the last two days where I literally cannot click draco lest i give lycan a free turn and even worse a free sd.
However, I think the one thing that for me pushes it over the edge is the potency of the SD set, which was not seen very much before the shifts, but is genuinely amazing right now and extremely, extremely hard to beat. As I mentioned before, vern is everywhere, and lycan gets free sds all over vern, SD doesn't need to worry about the scarfers anymore, and EVERYBODY DROPS to +2 lycan. Like, everybody. With all the teams running vern as speed control, you cant outspeed this thing and revenge it, your best hope is just to pivot around lo until it dies. I consitently ran into and used accelrock crunch cc sd, which i think is the best; the only thing really holidng it back is weezer, but weezer takes 40 from accelrock (!), and its not hard to chip down. CC is a roll on max bold rhyp, crunch is 62.5% ohko on max bold bro, coba gets blown away, hell, if you wanna run starmie to try and revenge this thing for some reason it dies from full with no bulk.
Ridiculously strong, difficult to revenge, got better with shifts as well as meta trends, tldr b-r-o-k-e-n
I think that terrakion can be argued both ways, its definitely not crystal cut whether this thing is broken or not, I am leaning towards not broken but I think banning lycan and then looking into this is the best move.
I dont have a problem with this mon, i think it was much better before shifts, now that vern, zarude, rhyp have all surged I think this thing is kinda lame, just me but not too big of a fan definitely not deserving to be on the same tier as the rocks.
here are a few random things i have thoughts on
This mon is very cool, definitely threatening, the speed tier is really nice and being able to have that good coverage+be able to nail rhyp with a toxic for a vern in the back is really nice. You absorb tspikes, revenge zarude, coba, sycther, celebi, rose, a bunch of other stuff, easily switch into coba and weezer, and can threaten a lot of teams with the dual stab, especially now that people have been running more bro than king.
lol I think all the poisons are pretty good right now, we have no steels and being able to threaten the steels is really valuable, I think rose and dragalge are good as well, but I randomly used skuntank because I wanted something to absorb tspikes, threaten sylv, and pivot into zarude once or twice, and honestly this thing is super fun and lowkey viable. Dark/poison/fire coverage is ridiculous, and the typing is really useful to check stuff once or twice, I used np and it shreds common cores like slowbrother/weezer/zarude/rhyp, nails coba, etc, but you could probably use defog too. Better speed tier than I thought as well. More of a niche fun pick definitively dont bring this to a tour or something but I wanted to share him >:o
Another fun mon, I was using rain dance kingdra dual dragon stab and it is alright, it is definitely much better on paper than in practice though unfortunately. if you can get a good opportunity, changes the pace of the game and flips it on its head so it is rewarding when you pull it off. I tried lo but the recoil adds up, dragon fang i dont think is strong enough though, but definitively pair it with something like volt coba to try to get it opportunites vs the slowtwins. I was using helmet volt coba to chip zarude into range of two dragon pulses and to bring in slowbro and it worked decently well. Tspike removal also mandatory it adds up way too quick, also 5 turns of rain feels like 3
Broken mon we have no vern checks besides nasty wish slyv Ive been using hurricane draco turn bc there are no flying resists but ig you could use flame for zong? idk I know people hate on cane vern but if you hit it is seriously annoying to deal with. Excellent mon, far and away the best mon in the tier not even close.
Zarude is very good, super bulky and excellent defensive typing so its on like every team, I always end up using boots uturn jungle healing dual stabs because I hate trying to check rotoms and krook etc taking hazards, really defeats the purpose of the awesome typing, but i understand that band can be really scary to switch into.
