Project Personal ZU Viability Rankings

S+
:Falinks: Falinks This is honestly the most threatning mon rn. After a boost very few things take a hit and live. Might as well ban it. Pressures and centralises building too much.
S
:Type null : Type:null Might be an under explored or under appreciated mon as of no, but from my exp of testing it, its an op addition and an extremely good wall as well as mid-game/end-game sweeper. Also conventionally people ue rest talk, but Ig its low speed can be exploited for rest/payback(becomes 100bp almost always).
S-
:Crustle: Crustle HDB+Sturdy+SS with that huge atk stat is a sweeping potential. Its power forces teams to run loads of priority for the sometimes unavoidable worst case scenarios.
:Lilligant: Lilligant From my ZULA matches, this thing is legit op.

A+
:Bouffalant: Bouffalant Nice wall to overpowered grass types of zu
:Drednaw: Drednaw Need I say?
:Mr. Rime: Mr. Rime Better Mime-G
:Musharna: Musharna Mushy Mushy Mush!
:Rapidash-Galar: Rapidash-Galar From terrain sp to cm and sd sweeping to choiced hit and run or speed control with bonus toxic immuty, its amazing
:Stunfisk: Stunfisk My nightmare!!! Something kill this!!! Bulky as hell, best rocker probably, SOMEONE KILL THIS!!
:Roselia: Roselia Same as above, something pls kill it!!!
:Golduck: Golduck Rain boosted lo 252+ Stabs hit hard as hell. Even non rain boosted psychic and ice beam beat the tier to a pulp. Of course water types wall it and it has many answers, but that is why it aint in S. Overall amazing.
:Pikachu: Pikachu Still continues to be an amazing revenge killer. The fact it can switch in on electric moves now,is also cool. Besides since terrain/rain/crustle are a thing, its fake-speed is pretty nice(fake out+volt tackle leave crustle in a pain with 4% health. If crustle chooses to ss then, next espeed kills it and if it decides to eliminate pika, it is asgood as destroyed.)

A
:Boltund: Boltund
:Gourgeist: Gourgeist-Large
:Mareanie: Mareanie
:Mawile: Mawile
:Dubwool: Dubwool
:Pincurchin: Pincurchin The factthat after a layer of tspikes is set, its Rising Voltage(182)/Hydro Pump(110)/Hex(130)/Venoshock(130) becomes a strong and nearly perfect coverage capable to ohko/2hko the entire tier whiel also boostin other mons like grookey did is huge. Though it has its own issue of decent bulk and low speed to not make it A+ or S tier.
:Heatmor: Heatmor
:Manectric: Manectric

A-
:Hattrem: Hattrem
:Marowak: Marowak
:Pawniard: Pawniard
:Lycanroc-Midnight: Lycanroc-Midnight
:Glaceon: Glaceon
:Leafeon: Leafeon
:Armaldo: Armaldo Rock+spin+knock+rain abusing+Destructive atk+sweeping potential in plain sd to rp+wp is something it isn't ebing credited for just yet.
:Lapras: Lapras From perish trapping to rest abusing in rain to being a powerful offensive tank to being able to deal with most water types is praiseworthy.

B+
:Beartic: Beartic
:Beheeyem: Beheeyem
:Meowstic: Meowstic
:Raboot: Raboot
:Raichu: Raichu
:Silvally: Silvally-Ice
:Silvally: Silvally-Rock
:Trevenant: Trevenant:
:Silvally: Silvally-Bug
:Grapploct: Grapploct While its true that it has lost its broken shine, its not true that its bad. From my tests, I conclude that even now its nice and cans till sweep if given a good switchin.
:Palpitoad: Palpitoad Being able to deal with almost all rain abusers(haven't calced for armaldoand golduck yet) is amazing.

1. Hot takes warning
2. This is mostly meant to be a snapshot of my feelings at the end of the November B / TerRain meta
3. This one's pretty sloppy and not at all like my old one
4. I might end up coming back and touching up this, but getting experience with every single mon on the list has been difficult
5. Each mon was taken from the recent drops or the current viability list
6. No fun gimmicks this time :(

This is very dead so I wanna do mine before the actual one comes out. So it's going to be my own narrowed feelings and perspective of the meta. Take in consideration that testing every new mon is very hard and theres still some stuff that are underexplored.

I'm only ranking mons that were listed on the actual viability list. (except some lower ones i picked at the end lol)
Also I'm giving some hot takes on some of them who may seem questionable.

As an active ZU player, I wanna show to the community my personal opinion of what I think is optimal for a viable competitive team and the reasonings behind that.

S
:Sneasel: Reasons: Amazing stab, excellent speed tier, just fearing the uncommon boltund, makes this mon hard to deal with. Banded sets are almost imposible to counter, only poliwrath and avalugg can switch into, and it has to be phys def. SD sets are not inmediatly threating, but is good against that rely on sneasel locking itself (Boots are an extra benefit of this set)

A+
:uxie: Reasons: The most reliable rocker and check to fighters, weather support, calm mind sweeper, makes this mon splashable on most knid of teams.
:magmortar: Reasons: Probably the most splashable fire type. Is very hard to wall, taunt three attacks is my favorite set, is very good to punish defensive cores like pyukumuku and audino. Specs is also a good breaker, belly drum exist, but is niche.
:silvally: (dragon) Reasons: ZU lacks good fairy types, making the dragon stab almost unwallable, iron head and flame charge complements well the sd set. The defog set is also decent, with options like draco meteor and flamethrower.
:silvally: (ghost) Reasons: Excellent spin blocker, stab that is resisted by few mons makes this vally as good as its dragon counterpart. This form is better at supporting because of its typing.
:centiskorch: Reasons: The third member of the big fire types, this one is specially good against fat,slow teams thanks to fire lash, knock off and power whip. Its typing is a double edge sword, but thanks to boots it can use the full capacity of its typing.
:garbodor: Reasons: An excellent spiker that provide defensive utility against fighters and grasses. It punishes really hard contact attacks when it dies..
A
:cofagrigus: Reasons: A bulky ghost that provide tspikes, will o wisp and spin blocker and its ghost+fighting coverage gives this mon offensive power.
:omastar: Reasons: A very dangerous sweeper with shellmash that can destroys entire team if played well. Both shell+meteor and the rain sweeper set are dangerous.
:palossand: Reasons: Excellent typing, couple with good defense, reliable recovery, good moves, makes this mon a good option as rocker for many teams.
:Miltank: Reasons: Another rocker with good defensive stats, good utility moves, and good abilities makes this mon a good defensive mon.
:Skuntank: Reasons: With poison, dark and coverage can hit every mon for nuetral damage and also prove a good answer against darks and poisons specially

- hitmonchan might have potential as a rapid spin user, it doesn’t seem that bad
more notes:
- every team in zu has to at least take rotom and kanga into account. rotom provides both solid power & fantastic utility, while kanga does everything an offensive wallbreaker wants to do
- i think cofa’s capabilities as a physical stonewall pairs it fantastically with special sweepers, and its ability to break a lot of targets actually makes cofa better than i think people give it credit for
- uxie is amazing but it mainly works on offense, so it’s a bit linear for a defensive pokémon. especially due to having no recovery
- manectric is plenty underrated, and i think is a premier specs/scarf user due to its speed and special attack
- golbat is also plenty underrated, as its stallbreaking capabilities make it great for team support
- what does flapple do, and what makes it considered good?

edit: i’m strongly considering putting manectric in A and skuntank in A-

Nice list though I have a few comments:

1. Lurantis is listed twice.
my b
2. I'm curious as to the niche of certain lower ranked mons on here like Grapploct and Beartic.
1. beartic is slightly justifiable to use in hail, because it can be a nice breaker w slush rush. it sux besides that.
2. av grapploct is a slightly alright tank that can handle special hits from volt switchers like mane, rotom, etc. i made this team with tack using av grapploct, the ev spread lets it survive switch into hits from special attackers and potentially get good damage on with power-up punch and stuff. it’s not that good, but it’s easier to use than most low tiers from my experience, due to its natural bulk & general longevity.

Rotom sucks, don’t use: bad flying resist (always 2HKOed by Unfezant’s Brave Bird) + dies to Mold Breaker Earthquake lol. So much for levitate… S -> C-
Tangela gets destroyed by prominent special attackers like Rotom-Frost, meteor beam cradily, and specs a-sandslash A+ -> C-
Rotom-Frost has accuracy worse than hustle with blizzard: 80% > 70% accuracy, so therefore Flapple > Rotom-F A -> B-/C+
Poliwrath = good: Mixed Scarf outspeeds entire unboosted metagame (except Accelgor) and can lure tangela much more effectively with ice beam B+ -> A-
Jellicent sux due to how common grasses are and the rise of skuntank; may be forced to run ice beam to deal with altaria and tangela A- -> B-
Rhydon is awful due to how it gets worn down too quickly by its terrible defensive typing and hazards + it's so slow. use rockers like cufant or dugtrio instead… A+ -> UR
…. In all seriousness, here‘s my genuine takes of the current meta rn:
