</s><POST content="282691"><s></s>282691<e></e></POST> Name: Ambipom<br/>

Current tier: B<br/>

Desired tier: A-<br/>

Reason: simple reason, high damge + access to Ice/Thunder/Fire-Punch+ strong priority move (+3) that makes u flinch 100% <br/>

<br/>

<br/>

Name: Cofagrigus<br/>

Current tier: B-<br/>

Desired tier: B+/A-<br/>

Reason: high tank, immune to normal/fight AND good as support with haze and will-o-wisp in his kit + +1 priority stab move<br/>

<br/>

Name: Celebi <br/>

Current tier: B+<br/>

Desired tier: A-<br/>

Reason: with the right nature and ev's this pokemon is a hell of a spatk tank + access to calm mind and recover <br/>

<br/>

Name: Mandibuzz <br/>

Current tier: A-<br/>

Desired tier: B<br/>

Reason: not sure why this pokemon is even an A tier ranked pokemon, havent seen one in over 800 games so there must be a reason<br/>

<br/>

Name: Krookodile<br/>

Current tier: C+<br/>

Desired tier: B<br/>

Reason: with access to moxie this thing is a beast but has many a few weaknesses so just B tier<br/>

<br/>

Name: Drapion<br/>

Current tier: C+<br/>

Desired tier: B+<br/>

Reason: access to sword dance and 2 improved crit chance stab moves and the ability sniper + razor claw this thing can do easily a 1v6<br/>

<br/>

Name: Blastoise <br/>

Current tier: C+<br/>

Desired tier: B+<br/>

Reason: one of the best rapid spinners in the game rn and tanky enough to take some hits<e>

</e></QUOTE>

I agree with most of what you said minus the blastoise and mandibuzz parts. Mandibuzz is often overlooked but is such an amazing mixed wall. Even without having foulplay it has a great potential moveset. <br/>

I'm extremely biased about blastoise. I think that pokemon got shafted for abilities relative to the other two starters and have always looked down on it regardless of what people use it for lol but thats just me.<e>

</e></QUOTE>

Mandibuzz is A- ranked because of it's ability to defog entry hazards away. With access to Taunt + Knock Off, it can break walls such as Ferrothorn, Blissey, Hippowdon, and Skarmory. I haven't really seen too much Celebi to fully understand how viable it is in the current metagame. It can definitely be A- ranking though. Cofagrigus isn't a higher rank because of it's competition in Dusknoir, Sableye, and Gengar. They are superior to it and there isn't really much Cofagrigus has that sets it aside from these. Ambipom is B ranking because it is easily walled by pokemon such as Hippowdon, Skarmory, Sableye, Dusknoir, Slowbro, Milotic, etc. etc. There really isn't much it can do if people have pokemon such as these in there team and in the current meta this is the case. Drapion can be argued for B- or B rank but it is also walled and revenge killed by many pokemon in the current metagame. Blastoise's lack of recovery is what puts him in C+. There are more effective spinners / defoggers in Starmie, Mandibuzz, and Scizor. Once his leftovers is gone this pokemon is easily worn down. It also lacks the firepower to deal any significant damage.<e>

</e></QUOTE>

 

I pretty much agree with everything you said Tr3y. <br/>

<br/>

Fact: the player who finished 2nd last season ran both mandibuzz and celebi<br/>

<br/>

mandibuzz might be the best defog user currently and u cant block defog, celebi is arguably the best special atk grass poke(that can escape goth with baton pass) and multiple variants have given me problems.</r>

Well yes but you have to have your taunt mon already on the field and it would have to be faster than mandibuzz, a scenario that I have not once experienced.</r>

<r>Name: Alomomola<br/>

Current tier: Non-Ranked<br/>

Desired tier: A+<br/>

Reason: It seems funny but let's start to bring a Non-Ranked to A+ tier Pokemon <E>:Smile:</E> . First, It has good stats :" 165HP and 80 def " with regen abi. Role: support. It can learn wish, toxic, scald, knockoff which are really good support moves. It can learn protect too by lv up make it really hard to deal. I know that there are still some bugged with protect make it hard to use but it also has cool bugged like recoil moves still take recoil damage if the OP pokemon use protect... Wish and regenerator are perfect combines and with 165HP it can fully heal all your other Pokemon. Moreover, this Pokemon weakness is spatk sweeper but look at PRO tier, not too much spatk sweeper have good ranking and ppl even play a team with full atk sweeper in PRO.It is a bonus point for it make it even better than smogon said. And when Gothitelle ranking going down that mean regenerator pokes going up, including this poke. Rarely ppl using it just because of no one notice about it <E>:kiss:</E> .</r>
