Treecko for D Rank:
For some reason or another, I decided to use a 'SmogFrog' LC team, using various Pokemon in the E Rank in a team. And for some reason or another, it was a pretty alright team.
Treecko, however, was the MVP, most of the time. Using a SD Sash Unburden set, with STAB, Acrobatics and Rock Slide, it sweeps teams, given in the right conditions.
Here is a replay where it straight up sweeps a team:

Hazards, of course, are the only way to counter my set especially, but I was lucky enough in this battle to allow me to sweep by having Treecko in the first slot.

Seemingly a late game sweeper, unburden works wonders again.
In all, Treecko isn't as bad as it seems, and could be used on a serious team (which mine was not). Albeit, could.
As I said, hazards are a counter, unless it is sent out the same time hazards are. Treecko could hold other items, such as Berry Juice, but the Sash uses Treecko's frailness to its advantage.
Because of this, I believe Treecko should be D Rank, at least, instead of E Rank.
