If you're up against a good player, they are not realistically just going to let you sit there and curse three times.Is there a limit to who can post? If not, here I am.
Flareon: B- ==> B.
I have recently been using Flareon far more than normal, maybe to test it's capabilities. Actually, exactly what I was doing. When using a specific set, it pretty much dawned on me. "This is too good to be as low as it is in this tier." Honestly, I would take advantage of what Flareon has and not harp on what it can't do.
Honestly, what Flareon lacks is Defense and Speed. Just try a couple Curses, then it's Defense will rise to over 450.
252+ Atk Silk Scarf Kangaskhan Double-Edge vs. +3 248 HP / 252+ Def Flareon: 82-97 (24.6 - 29.1%) -- 99.8% chance to 4HKO
After a +3, it can pretty much wall Kangaskhan, and most other things it isn't weak to, unless a Critical Hit happens to it. It's Speed will remain lackluster, in fact, since this nature is a Relaxed one and IVs should be 0, it will not even be 50. But it's rather worth it to keep Kangaskhan in check and OHKO it the same turn.
+3 0 Atk Flareon Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Kangaskhan: 486-573 (138 - 162.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The drawback is it takes forever to set up, and Flareon has a high chance of being OHKOed without 1 or 2 Curses up. 6 may be necessary for some battles. But with this set, you won't have to worry about pesky physical attackers murdering you.
And we all know the Guts set, lol. I should not have to explain THAT.

Luxray: D ==> E
Luxray is just flat out TOO SLOW TO HAVE IT'S KIND OF BULK. I say, it gets decent coverage, with Fire Fang, Ice Fang, and Crunch being those moves that just give it coverage. But other than Wild Charge, which deals recoil, what can you do?At least with Zebstrika you have Speed to make up for it's lack of decent STAB moves. But Luxray has none of that. And other than the 65-80 Power moves that, honestly, force it to wear a Choice item. And, it's Guts ability is hampered by being forced to have an Orb, which to Luxray, is a waste of a slot to make it's one decent move (STAB that is) more powerful.
Also, it running Special moves is a joke. As with all Physical attackers. Yay. Do I even need proof for this, you can see it glaring in your face!
Next up...
Wobbuffet: E ==> D+
Why is this so far down? It's HP with a proper set is 584. And it's other stats suck butt, yess, but there's a point to it moving so far up.
It is called COUNTER AND MIRROR COAT. It can return 2x damage to any target it wants, and with Leftovers, it restores over 35 HP per turn. Also, me and my friend call it Godbbuffet because it candeal that much damage.
The gigantic flaw is, if used against something like a cleric, or something Super Effectice, IT WILL BE COMPLETELY USELESS. You best remember this.
EVEN MORE NEXT OMFG...
Furfrou: E ==> C+
LISTEN FOR ONE MOMENT. Furfrou does not deserve to be so low on the list because of one single thing. It has 480 Defense when maxed out. Now, what other physical walls like that have any more than about 100 SpD and 250 or 275 HP? And most of them lack recovery as well, so that is a common issue with Pokèmon like this. Fur Coat is extremely useful, making it less succeptable to the Fighting Types of the tier, and it does get good coverage.
(Zen Headbutt and Wild Charge.)
-Till next time, ADIOS!
Wobbuffet is ranked where it is because it is nothing but set-up fodder. No-one is going to actually attack it unless they've boosted to the extent they can OHKO it. Unlike it's Shadow Tag brother in OU, it can't trap choiced attackers and it can't encore very easily.
