The PvP Coordinator team has discussed some more changes to the Viability Rankings based on latest metagame trends and developments. Rises: Dragonite: A → A+ Self-explanatory. HDB and Ice Spinner just granted Dragonite at least 2 more viable, powerful sets, making Roost a good option for extra longevity. Dragonite's defensive attributes are heightened (with some even experimenting with defensively oriented variants). Dragonite is still threatening even with 1 less move. Other sets continue to exist, which just adds to Dragonite's arsenal of possibilities. Volcarona: A- → A+ The moth has now gained the most important tool for its arsenal in HDB as it allows it to perform a defensive role more efficiently, with increased longevity, while retaining the threat of a late-game sweep. Many PvP Coordinators have it on their personal radars. Gliscor: A- → A An underrated Knock Off user and Knock Off and status absorber, Gliscor is an overall solid option to run against cores revolving around Clodsire, Landorus-T, Moltres, Zapdos, and even Torn-T. It was moved up to A with a narrow margin of 5-4 votes. Latios: A- → A Latios tends to perform rather well into the aforementioned popular cores, especially with Clodsire at times replacing Chansey on more balanced builds. Metagross-Mega: A- → A Having the option to Knock Off HDB and various items, while finally being able to hit Ghost types like Aegislash with a move other than EQ, is a positive change for Mega Metagross. It still runs into the longevity issue of being whittled down too fast (between Static, Flame Body, Iron Barbs, Rough Skin, Rocky Helmet, etc.) while trying to boost its attack with Power-Up Punch, but it usually does enough damage to open up the opposing team for one of its partners before fainting. With another narrow 5-4 margin, Mega Metagross was voted up to A. Scizor-Mega: B+ → A- In theory, Zapdos gaining HDB, Moltres and Volcarona becoming more viable thanks to HDB, and so on should cause Mega Scizor to be less viable, which explains why the vote (5-4) in favor of a rise was so close. However, in practice, Mega Scizor still performs quite well with a mixed spread or a physically defensively leaning spread. It is able to threaten Clodsire, Hoopa-U (but hates having to switch into Choice Band), Mega Alakazam, Mega Diancie, Mega Metagross, Latios, Weavile, and many other Pokémon that are quite good right now. Tyranitar: B+ → A- Tyranitar is already seeing more usage and a better performance than last month, with Knock Off breathing a new life into it and solidifying its place in the current metagame. Tyranitar still has the same shortcomings as before, but Knock Off now allows all sets (not just Choice Band variants) to make progress more steadily instead of running into roadblocks like Skarmory without even being able to remove an item. Ursaluna: B+ → A- Ursaluna is a potent wallbreaker that can force unparalleled progress thanks the combination of Facade and Headlong Rush or Earthquake. RestTalk sets have seen low but meaningful usage, making them quite successful. At the expense of damaging Skarmory more, those sets grant a fully HP-invested Ursaluna all the longevity that it needs to switch into a variety of medium-strength hits from the likes of Clefable, Gliscor, and non-Z Zapdos. Its typing and added bulk from the HP investment also allow it to switch into Ghost-type moves from Aegislash and Electric-type moves from Mega Manectric while always avoiding the 2HKO from Hidden Power Ice. Weavile: B+ → A- A threatening Speed tier, the ability to remove items like HDB, and the possibility of running HDB Swords Dance sets push Weavile into A-. PvP Coordinators were previously quite split on whether this Pokémon should remain in B+ or rise to A-, with a majority voting to keep it in B+ every time, but enough has changed to justify a rise now. Gyarados-Mega: B → B+ This change has nothing to do with the addition of Temper Flare. Mega Gyarados is particularly threatening into most of the defensive cores that are currently in use. While it is true that it risks paralysis from Zapdos, it is able to muscle past even Clefable and Skarmory with minimal luck. Mega Gyarados is quite threatening to teams with more reliable checks like Ferrothorn because they are pressured to stay healthy at all times, while Mega Gyarados' usual teammates do a very good job at forcing in said checks for Mega Gyarados to clean up later. It is also quite good at punching holes for its teammates when it is in no position to sweep. Tyranitar-Mega: B → B+ This one is a natural consequence of Knock Off gaining traction on Dragon Dance and Stealth Rock sets. Mega Tyranitar is a very threatening DD sweeper with great bulk, although its Speed (even at +1) can sometimes let it down and leave it vulnerable to faster Megas or common Choice Scarf users. Stealth Rock variants are very potent and capable of making progress against all archetypes thanks to Knock Off (for example removing Rocky Helmet from Skarmory and Leftovers from Unaware Clefable on Stall builds). Mandibuzz: C- → B Everyone knows what Mandibuzz does. It can switch into many potent threats (like Aegislash and Hoopa-U) that other Pokémon can only dream of checking. It is effective with a mixed spread that allows it to check physical and special attacks alike, which it can now do even more efficiently thanks to the addition of HDB. Mandibuzz usually wants more than 4 moves because it would like to run U-turn, Toxic, Defog, and maybe even Iron Defense, and it is not an ideal switch-in to the likes of Bisharp and Mega Metagross because they carry Knock Off, so it can be less effective against certain offensive builds. Blissey: C- → C+ Blissey has not yet made a huge impact on the metagame, but thanks to HDB, it no longer has to take hazards damage, granting it an interesting niche over Chansey on certain builds. For now, the team has tentatively voted to move it up to C+. Drops: Serperior: A+ → A Glare is still as annoying as ever, but common Serperior checks, like Zapdos and Tornadus-T, gained Heavy-Duty Boots, granting them additional longevity in their battle against it. HDB Moltres is another solid counter to add to the list, thus making Serperior less effective than before. Keldeo: A → A- Despite its consistently high usage, Keldeo cannot break Water Absorb Clodsire, which is infinitely more common than Unaware even on many Stall builds. Z sets struggle as well because EQ breaks Sub. Clodsire is way too common at the moment, and the usual Mega Diancie + Keldeo BO cores took a hit, but they each continue to be effective, albeit perhaps separately. Manectric-Mega: B- → C Mega Manectric cannot make any progress against Clodsire teams, which have become quite common. Additions: Clodsire: Unranked → A Clodsire has proven to be a very good addition to defensive and balanced teams alike. Water Absorb has been the preferred ability since last season, as it allows Clodsire to shut down Flip Turn Keldeo, Mega Manectric, Rotom-W, and other momentum-generating Pokémon, although Unaware has some specific uses, such as on Stall, and can still stop Zapdos in its tracks. Even with Water Absorb, Clodsire can handle most (but not all) Mega Diancie and Kommo-o variants. An excellent glue Pokémon for builds that desperately wanted more switch-ins for those kinds of threats (and others, like Aegislash, Blacephalon, Heatran, non-Fire Blast Mega Charizard Y, Volcarona...), Clodsire is slowly helping to redefine Balance and Stall in the current metagame. Sneasler: Unranked → A- On Choice-locked Poison Touch sets, Sneasler currently has to overrely on Switcheroo for progress because it struggles quite a bit to break Zapdos/Torn-T/Lando-T cores on its own. Nonetheless, it still boasts a very threatening Speed tier and an Attack stat that can always allow it to reposition into a late-game sweeper. Having said that, at the moment, it seems to struggle to fulfill both roles (wallbreaking early and cleaning up late game) and usually has to choose one over the other because it lacks longevity. Other sets, such as Swords Dance, Fake Out, or Unburden, present interesting yet still underexplored prospects. Moltres: Unranked → B Valid points were made about many of the Pokémon that Moltres checks being missing from the game. However, the team has tentatively voted to rank it in B with a willingness to alter its ranking depending on how it performs in the future. Moltres is still able to check many menacing Pokémon, while threatening them with a Flame Body burn. Arcanine-Hisui: Unranked → B- Boasting a strong offensive typing, Arcanine-Hisui also benefits from HDB but struggles to deal sufficient damage against defensive teams without Choice Band. It can be hard to find opportunities to switch Arcanine-Hisui into opposing Pokémon, but it has chances to do so against the likes of Zapdos, especially thanks to HDB. Stealth Rock and Will-O-Wisp are interesting options to consider, but it is often hard to justify clicking anything other than either of its strong STAB moves. No change: Diancie-Mega: A+ → A+ Kyurem: A+ → A+ Tornadus-Therian: A+ → A+ Zapdos: A+ → A+ Kyurem-Black: A → A Hoopa-Unbound: A- → A- Slowbro: A- → A- Slowking: A- → A- Victini: A- → A- Hippowdon: B → B Suicune: B → B Volcanion: B → B Gyarados: C → C Gallade: C- → C- Baby XD001: Unranked → Unranked/Shadow Realm of the Forgotten
