Santa's sleigh raining down brimstone and hellfire lol Honestly, with the ORAS changes, Greninja has become beyond ridiculous. Its new and improved capabilities just make it such a pain to run HO or balance since it just murders something every time it comes in and forcing everyone to run some...

I guess I'll just run down the list briefly with my thoughts. Altaria (Mega) --> A+: Savage of a DDancer, plenty of utility roles, just really good imo. Dragonite: --> A-: Sets aren't as great anymore but multiscale is still good, CBESpeed is still a pain in the ass. Gliscor --> A-: ORAS not...

Regarding Gallade for S rank, I'd say A+ if only because of its shortcomings with parts of stall like its matchup vs Sableye. It's still flat out savagery at +2 and is motherfucking amazing. Keldeo A+, no lower. Specs Secret Sword and Hydro Pump rip and tear holes in so much crap. Support...

It accounts for the Close Combat defense drop.

Fair enough. Like you said, if you have nothing else better to use it on then it works but otherwise there are usually better options.

Right in one. This thread takes opportunity cost in as well and honestly, the benefits of using Mega Latios aren't actually worth the cost. Granted, everything has opportunity cost relative to M-Mence but once that's over with, why would you use Mega Latios? You get a very slight boost in SPA...

oh my god this is amazing actually, going from the reverse, i guess you could argue that specially based ice attacks can check it but after 1 d-dance that doesn't actually apply barring scarf greninja and random things with focus sashes. i'm not actually sure if it keeps anything in particular...

Cloyster has 1 shell smash set that isn't all too difficult to stop. I'd like to hear your rationale as to why Garchomp should be S though. I'm pretty sure Garchomp has been at A+ for several months prior to ORAS. It's probably the SR lead set but I haven't used Garchomp in a few months so...

slowbro mega evolves and gains 90 extra lbs of shell wonderful

aw i saw the poll post but then left and when i came back all the funny posts were deleted regarding the d rank noms: wait what niche do any of these serve at all? obama is bad even in TR, not sure what the others do although i guess metagross works as an offensive check to mega gardevoir...

pretty sure it's definitely taken into account, but the higher ranked megas usually stand out enough on their own to have clear strengths and weaknesses over others and justify their rank

i started to write some reply to the rotom part but then was like "you literally cannot be serious wtf" so yeah agree with keeping lati@s in current place for all the reasons listed, pursuit trap, easy to rk, plenty to deal with them, not saying that they're bad or anything but they're not as...

"nominate Lando-T for S Rank" "Lando-T for A+." alrighty then the magneton idea is interesting, i actually wanna play around with it a bit now although i'll probably just end up looking like an ass it feels kinda like a surplus nom really, ranking for the sake of ranking, that sort of thing...

okay mega gardevoir takes physical attacks like toilet paper and using the 3rd most powerful physical move in the game as an example isn't really saying much

okay, the legendary argument is kinda dumb but thats neither here nor there so with what you have to work with... 1. dont use brick break. hjk instead. 2. you can either use sub sitrus hawlucha or power herb sky attack. im personally a fan of the latter but w/e. 3. get rid of specs ninja...
