The PvP Coordinator team has discussed some more changes to the Viability Rankings based on latest metagame trends and developments. No change: Landorus-T: S → S The PvP Coordinator team finds that Landorus-T is still an incredibly potent Pokémon in the current metagame. It can use a wide variety of sets that perform at a consistent level. While Intimidate no longer affects Scrappy Mega Lopunny or the rare Inner Focus Dragonite, it is still a useful Ability against potent offensive threats like opposing Landorus-T, Garchomp, Multiscale Dragonite, Breloom, Tyranitar, etc. Tyranitar: B+ → B+ Tyranitar still more or less holds the same place in the metagame. Some of its key targets gained useful moves to escape Pursuit and generate momentum in Teleport, Chilly Reception, and more recently Flip Turn, or damaging moves that threaten it – most notably Aura Sphere for Mega Latias. It is still a strong Pokémon that can run offensive or utility sets and check the likes of Blacephalon, Heatran, non-Superpower Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and more. Rises: Azumarill: A- → A Azumarill continues to be a staple on HO, where it commonly runs Belly Drum and threatens to sweep the opposing team with a well-timed use of the move. It is also found on BO, where it uses Belly Drum or Choice Band and can at times take advantage of its typing and a held Assault Vest to check specially offensive threats like Keldeo, Heatran, Kingdra, specially offensive Kommo-o, and much more. Mega Latias: B+ → A In an increasingly offensive metagame, Mega Latias stands out for its ability to check a wide range of threats, while also serving as a potent sweeper with Calm Mind. With the addition of Aura Sphere, Mega Latias can now run a Calm Mind set with Psyshock and Aura Sphere instead of Ice Beam and Thunderbolt. This new set allows it to break past some of its would-be Dark-type and Steel-type switch-ins. Blacephalon: B+ → A- Despite its Stealth Rock weakness, Blacephalon is a potentially terrifying sweeper and revenge killer. Its Choice Scarf set allows it to boost its Special Attack and finish off a weakened opposing Pokémon while threatening to sweep the enemy team. Its Ghostium Z set takes advantage of Substitute and Calm Mind to find more opportunities to set up, avoid status, and get a Calm Mind boost before firing off a strong Z-Move, picking up a KO, and boosting its Speed thanks to proper EV training. A few of the common Choice Scarf switch-ins, like Clefable, Heatran, and Chansey, can lose to Blacephalon and a well-timed Never-Ending Nightmare. Latios: B+ → A- Dear customer, would you like to spam Luster Purge or slowly kill Alolan Muk and Tyranitar with Flip Turn? Skarmory: B → A- With access to Iron Defense and Body Press, Skarmory is no longer the passive wall that it used to be and can now pose a legitimate offensive threat to many physical attackers, at times even becoming a win condition. It remains a reliable Spiker that fits well on many balanced and defensive teams. Alomomola: B → B+ The Wish Fish rises from the depths of the sea to join the B+ ranks after a long-awaited update that grants it Flip Turn, a move that allows it to generate momentum and safely pass Wishes to its teammates while taking advantage of Regenerator. Alomomola is a viable defensive option for many defensive and balanced teams, as well as some niche bulky offense, thanks to its ability to check top threats like Bisharp, Mega Lopunny, non-Focus Blast Keldeo, Mega Metagross and Weavile. Mega Latios: B → B+ To reiterate what was said about base Latios: gaining access to a spammable move in Luster Purge, a reliable way of killing Dark types in Aura Sphere, and a pivot move in Flip Turn has raised increased the viability of Mega Latios. Mega Pinsir: B → B+ Mega Pinsir continues to be one of the staples and premier Megas on Hyper Offense teams with its threatening Flying/Fighting coverage, alongside strong priority in Quick Attack and the ability to take advantage of Swords Dance in conjunction with Hyper Cutter. Even with the ever-looming threat of Stealth Rock and the rise of some prominent defensive Pokémon, Mega Pinsir can still manage to cut through those defensive Pokémon after a Swords Dance. Drops: Aegislash: A+ → A Mega Mawile: A+ → A Mega Metagross: A → A- This drop is mainly caused by the increase in play from the likes of Alomomola and Skarmory, as well as an uptick in play from Tangrowth, to help deal with Breloom teams. Mega Metagross does technically have coverage options for all these Pokémon, but it currently suffers from the inability to carry coverage for every Pokémon that it wants to hit. With the right matchup, it is still a massive threat, so Mega Metagross finds itself in the respectable A- tier for now. Mega Alakazam: A- → B+ Mega Charizard Y: A- → B+ Mega Charizard Y finds itself in a position where it is still tied to traditional sand cores involving Tyranitar and Keldeo. With an increase in play from both Latias and Latios as checks to Mega Charizard Y and Keldeo, with both now having access to Aura Sphere to take out Tyranitar, it is difficult to justify using up your Mega slot on Mega Charizard Y, despite the recent addition of Scorching Sands, when you could just use a prominent Fire type in the meta such as Blacephalon or Volcarona and save your Mega slot for another Pokémon. Rotom-Wash: A- → B+ Hoopa-U: A- → B Ribombee: B- → C+ Additions: Ursaluna: B- In a not-so-distant past, some players were outraged at the thought of Ursaluna ever gracing the PvP stage, clamoring for its ban. This Pokémon may be dying to burn and chip from Rocky Helmet, Iron Barbs, and Rough Skin; it may only have 50 Base Speed; it may hate the increasing usage of Protect; it may even struggle to break stall cores consisting of Alomomola, Clefable, Mega Sableye, and Skarmory… but hey, it can OHKO Clefable on paper, so it must be broken! Aerodactyl: C+ We shall simply pretend that this Pokémon was always ranked and that this oversight never happened. We all know what Aerodactyl does by now. But if your Aerodactyl has good enough IVs, perhaps consider dropping the anti-Mega-Lopunny tech (Protect) for a bulky and speedy Rocky Helmet variant that can more consistently punish it while always surviving Fake Out into High Jump Kick! Terrakion: C Blastoise: C- In the wake of the Blastoisinite complex ban, regular Blastoise retains a niche over Mega Blastoise in the current metagame thanks to Shell Smash in conjunction with typical coverage options allowing it to hit most Pokémon – with the exception of Azumarill – for neutral or super effective damage. However, Blastoise comes with several drawbacks: it does not find many setup opportunities, suffers from the Defense and Special Defense drops of Shell Smash, is weak to priority spam, requires a Z-Crystal to break past bulkier Pokémon, and is, in most scenarios, outclassed as a Shell Smash user by Cloyster. Kleavor: C- Kleavor starts out in C- as we continue to monitor further developments. As a wallbreaker, Kleavor can slash its way through some bulky Pokémon thanks to Sharpness-boosted cutting moves. It can also set up Stealth Rock while dealing a potentially large amount of damage. Two sets have emerged: a suicide lead set able to set up Stealth Rock against Taunt Aerodactyl thanks to Stone Axe, making the Pokémon an appealing option for anti-HO offense; a Choice Scarf set that can do the same without being limited to HO, while being a decently speedy revenge killer. Kleavor does struggle to get through some of the rising defensive Pokémon, like Skarmory and Alomomola, hence the cautious placement in C- for the time being.
