In case you haven't seen this in other generations, basically its a thread where we rank Pokemon based on their viability in the metagame. If you think there is something wrong with it, suggest we move something up to down, or even to remove or add something to the list. The community will discuss it and maybe change the list.
This list isn't exactly like other lists, as E contains Pokemon that are somewhat usable, other lists have E as the specifically bad Pokemon one should never use.
I would like to thank Jorgen for helping me form the initial list and descriptions.
Anyway, unto the list.
S Rank: Reserved for Pokemon which pose a very significant offensive or defensive threat, consistently harming or walling the opposing team. The roles these Pokemon can fulfill are crucial, if not mandatory, for RBY teams and these Pokemon are the best at their certain roles.
D Rank: Reserved for Pokemon that are mediocre in the RBY metagame, but are decent enough to pose a threat at times, usually out of surprise. These Pokemon have a small niche in the metagame and are often not worth using.
