Thank you for bringing this up, idkup. After extensively using both Lati twins last season, I can safely say that they are both worthy of an A placement. I did encounter several KeldTar teams, but even those did not particularly hinder the performance of either one of the Lati twins. Weavile teams have to play risky games and either sacrifice a Pokémon to bring in their Pursuit trapper or hope that Latios or Latias is clicking Defog or Recover/Roost. Latias' utility and bulk is always appreciated and, unlike Latios, it does not always have to heal up after switching into Mega Charizard Y, Keldeo, Volcanion, etc. Healing Wish Latias is particularly good on dedicated offensive teams that appreciate having a check to specific dangerous threats (such as the ones I just mentioned) that also happens to possess Defog and the ability to give one of its teammates a second chance. As for Latios, I have been an avid user of the Life Orb variant, as I do appreciate its ever so slight increase in power (in comparison to Soul Dew variants). It still manages to chunk Heatran and Ferrothorn quite nicely while obliterating the likes of Zapdos, which might attempt to Roost up on its powerful Draco Meteor, if they happen to be faintly weakened. Choice Specs sets are quite prediction-reliant but can wallbreak rather effectively and are a threat to all teams. I am less sold on Choice Scarf Latios, because I would then prefer using Latias, but I can acknowledge the occasional worth of such a set. I do not particularly find Mega Alakazam to be overrated. I only faced it a couple of times, but it managed to land all its hits while sometimes lowering the Special Defense of my main checks for it. I think it is still dangerous in a metagame where many teams (mostly balanced ones) are relying on their defensive Mega Alakazam checks without necessarily having any priority move in the back to handle it if it ever gets out of hand (e.g., Calm Mind, Substitute...). From personal experience, Mega Scizor was also surprisingly uncommon last season, at least on Silver server. Oftentimes, players find themselves in a position to have to hope that Mega Alakazam misses Focus Blast against something that could KO it back. As for Mega Medicham, I was not impressed by its performance. I think its frailty and relatively lackluster Speed are definitely holding it back. Slowbro has been increasing in usage and I have even encountered some Mew sets that can always survive its hits. Overall, I do think it might be the weakest Mega in A+, but I am open to other opinions. Finally, we get to Mega Diancie... I still find that it struggles far too much against all archetypes to be considered on par with other A+ threats. Chansey is still one of the most used Pokémon in the metagame and Ferrothorn gives it too much trouble on balanced builds. I will admit, however, that it makes it easier to anticipate certain switch-ins to try to take advantage of them. Protect is also a double-edged weapon, as it allows the player to scout for Choice-locked users while leaving the outplay door open for both parties.2 points

PRO PvP Viability Rankings by Jorogumo Welcome to the unofficial PRO PvP Viability Rankings thread, where we as a community can reflect on the current metagame in an attempt to accurately rank every single viable Pokémon. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts regardless of their level of expertise. Keep in mind that these rankings can never be entirely objective and that, as such, our opinions on the viability of several Pokémon may differ. Moreover, I am of the view that usage should not dictate viability. If you wish to look at usage stats, please check this thread instead. While we may disagree, what matters is maintaining civility and respect throughout our discussions. As a host, I will do my best to take into account everyone's thoughts. Currently, there is no ranking team responsible for updating the PRO PvP Viability Rankings as frequently as possible, but I deemed it necessary to provide the community with a freshly updated Viability Ranking post. I have submitted this list for review purposes to many players who have expressed a mix of agreements and disagreements over its content and I am thankful to all of them for their contributions. However, as I was understandably unable to satisfy everyone, I decided to keep the reviewers' names anonymous to avoid associating some of them with a list that they may not agree with. The following Pokémon are ranked in alphabetical order within each sub-tier: S Rank: S Rank A Rank: A+ Rank A Rank A- Rank B Rank: B+ Rank B Rank B- Rank C Rank: C+ Rank C Rank C- Rank I am unable to explain the reasoning behind every single placement, but I will try to break down some of the rankings whenever I have time. Please feel free to discuss any of the above rankings. Archived banners1 point

Hello @Esix. Apologies for the inconvenience. Your issue seems to be a Dev related issue and has already been forwarded to them. However, due to the recent updates, the Devs are very busy. It may take some time for there to be a fix to your issue. In the meantime, we ask for your patience and understanding.1 point

ik we talked about this in DM but I really feel that both Lati twins being ranked below mons like Bisharp, Weavile, and Zapdos is a massive travesty and makes no sense - Scarf Tyranitar is not common enough to keep them from being by far the best Keldeo answers for teams that care about tempo - Latios's draco meteor is an insane special nuke and Latias has more utility than 95% of the tier. Alakazam-M (51% on-paper 2hkos) and Medicham-M (mediocre speed tier, garbage bulk) are both overrated imo, Diancie is better than them in general with 110 speed tier + unique typing + magic bounce, but we talked about this as well. just wanted to post my thoughts to maybe start some discussion1 point
