Great tier list, finding the meta substantially different from the OU generations from Smogon, so this would help out a lot of players including myself.

 

Surprised to not see Rhyperior higher up.

Volcarona

Current tier: A-

Desired tier (optional): A+

Lack of Talonflame and addition of defoggers.

 

Rotom-Wash

Current tier: None

Desired tier (optional): A- / A

If we had functioning Volt Switch this mon would be A+ but without it you can't take advantage of the many good matchups Rotom-Wash has. This mon is supposed to also allowed wallbreakers and setup sweepers to come in safely but without Volt Switch it can't do that. Talonflame is also gone so I don't see why other bulky waters shouldn't be used over this mon. It does hold a place in the metagame due to its ability to wall Excadrill, Defog on many hazard setters (Donphan, Hippowdon, Skarmory and a few more).

 

Rotom-Heat

Current tier: None

Desired tier (optional): A / A+

The prevalence of Ferrothorn, Tangrowth, Magnezone, Togekiss, Volcarona, Amoonguss, etc. is why I rank this higher than Rotom-Wash. It has the ability to force those mons out and can click Thunderbolt vs. the bulky waters that think of coming in vs it. The only waters capable of walling Rotom-Heat are Volt Absorb Lanturn and Gastrodon (idk any others) and they aren't used as much. The only things I don't like about this one is its weakness to Stealth Rock and its only STAB fire attack is Overheat.

 

Amoonguss

Current tier: A-

Desired tier (optional): A

Much better due to the addition of Clear Smog. It can now keep Suicune, Clefable, and a few others in check.

 

Pelipper

Current tier: None

Desired tier (optional): Replace it with Politoed

It's a better Politoed with access to Hurricane, Defog, and Recovery in Roost. It can't get in rain abusers safely due to U-turn not working but it's still better. It can break things that beat rain such as Tangrowth, Ferrothorn, etc. with a choice specs set as well. Politoed can't do this as well as Pelipper.

 

This is the tier list I use when making some teams so I just wanted to post this in order to help get it up to date. :D
