ok so I sort of touched upon noms that were brought up but anyways here's some other stuff just from skimming lower rankings.
C Rank
Yeah let's move this up to C+ please. Hazard remover that isn't pursuit trapped like starmie, puts a dent in almost all the relevant hazard removers and hazard setters in the tier through coverage, and has the ability to pressure slower builds thus making its job of hazard removal a bit easier. Even if utilizing it without hazard removal with say like Lati for hazard removing, just as a basic tank with 4 attacks has its merits for additional coverage such as Ice Beam for eliminating fat chomp and general dragons. Also can run speedier variants to get the jump on certain fat psychics like 32 Speed Mews and support Celebis. I'd say it's better than Mega Ampharos out of general viability for sure.
This was already mentioned before by a bunch others, even Whitequeen graced our presence to present us the nom originally. Webs has gotten a lot shittier with the increased relevancy of Serperior and Bisharp. Move down.
This thing is really just so mediocre. It has all this firepower and needs Trick Room so bad that I rather would just use M-Heracross or even mattybrolics M-Steelix build if I wanted to use Trick Room. Its dead weight in practice because of Manaphy increase and still dancing around trying to hit the right mon on the switch in with whatever it picked. Positives it has is being electric immune and sort of able to take a dump on frailer offense that loses momentum with this things typing but that's about it honestly.
Ok like, it's not even the fact that it's bad more so of the fact that why would I bother using this over Mega Latias these days? Enlighten me please.
Mentioned a rise earlier see Page 13.
D Rank
Yeah this thing is kind of garbage ngl. I try to justify using it on teams a whole lot but it just falls flat on its face in a shitload of situations. Scarf, Life Orb, Stall-Breaker, Specs. It's just really underwhelming for something that theoretically has perfect coverage but there's a bunch of instances that it'll never use it well when you take into account Scarftar, fat waters, its subpar speed, defenses, and exploitable typing. Rather see this unranked after the prolonged use of this for awhile now but I'm all ears and or eyes if showing me good replays. Edit from being ninja'd above, Sub CM sucks to btw.
Move up to C. This is somewhat a big jump but it's actually pretty good on stall teams right now for providing spin blocking utility, tspikes, general status while capitilizing on hex threatening fatter Psychics due to the status so it prevents them from setting up with Calm Mind turn 1, like reuniclus as one example. ben made a pretty solid stall team around this thing and I've made one myself sort of emphasizing the whole hazard stacking stall thing that makes matchups wicked easy against bulky offense and balance at times. Rest variants + cleric support maintain the hazard aspect for a prolonged time and I would definitely say it's on the level of C just looking at the current C mons right now and where I want some to go like whimsci and dugtrio.
Too many Landos, barely checks the relevant fairies in the tier anymore, set up bait for all the manaphys and special attackers and knock off torn-t doesn't care for it other than getting hit with a toxic, EQ M-Gross is a legitimate option these day so only a check in certain scenarios. In theory it works in practice it's very underwhelming and way too specific. Not exactly a definitive placement but cleaning up D means looking at this. These niches are sort of dying down for a lot of stuff, although having a niche might be overrated these days. If it works it works and I don't feel like Doublade works for being ranked.
Not really a placement more so of just seeing if this should really be in D if we're trying to legitimize it some more. It's alright I guess I know guys like rob. use it a lot but idk it seemed kind of shitty both in TR and non TR builds.
Lol idk if this should be ranked honestly. This seems more like an E rank thing to me "niche" is like extremely specific. Just saying this now that I've gotten to reevaluate rank placements now. It seems ok just super meh to me now with M-Scizor all over the place.
Sort of interested in peoples perspectives on this. Kind of seems better than the D stuff from what I've seen but maybe that's cause stuff needs to get out of D first.
I'd probably move this up. Never liked the neutrality of Electric on Rotom-W cause it sort of just gets donked on by voltturn cores while Rotom-H's typing circumvents that. Bluwing did bring up a good point to me about the rock and water weakness but idk I've seen it put in more work than most of the C- stuff. Oh yeah I'm advocating this for C- btw if it wasn't obvious.
I think Salamence is actually immensely terrible for the "niche" that has been established for awhile with Dragon Dance / Scarf or w/e the hell people hyped about, buuuut, Bluwing said Defog set is solid enough for a raise. DaAwesomeDude1 (one of the mods in CT on PS) spent his days last year trolling the ladder with Defog Wish Mence which I find unbelievable and utterly brain numbing to think nonsense like this actually works. Tokyo tom wrote an analysis and literally saved the analysis with the set so I'm all ears as to why it should move up. If you haven't used the set please don't speak on it thanks.
Can't really speak on anything else for now.
