last day of this meta, so i'm Literally Obligated to post a personal vr
Persian-A gives cats a bad name.
S- isn't necessary anymore. Gogoat and Misdreavus are still very good Pokemon, but both have some serious competition for their respective roles, are easier to pressure, and don't feel as automatic as they used to. Misdreavus has these issues especially imo, hence its lower placement, but you could convince me that it's better than Basculin.
Whiscash is a bit of a fraud at times, but the WhisKlawf core is undeniably good and effective. Couple its contributions to that core (and most teams in general) with how reliably it blocks Volt Switch, being a solid blanket check to most offensive threats, and its presence forcing a lot of Grass coverage/Tera Grass, and you have what I consider the third best Pokemon atm.
Dugtrio is perfectly fine, y'all are just haters.
Setup Wyrdeer is A- with Grassy Terrain support and probably like B+ without it. Still incredibly cheap either way, though. Choiced isn't bad either btw, I swear!
A lot of what's in the B ranks honestly deserves more exploration (esp. stuff like Lycanroc-N, Camerupt, Rabsca, Fraxure, and Sneasel), but I get that they can be incredibly awkward to fit or are incredibly specific in what they do. Still, they're pretty kewl.
Houndoom and Fantom aren't real Pokemon.
