BL isn't a tier. And your 10 tiers still wouldn't cover your own example of Monferno.

Note that No Guard only works on moves used by and on the pokemon, so a Duggy + Champ 2v2 team wouldn't work because Duggy is neither Machamp nor targeting Machamp.

Saying Salamence should remain OU because Stealth Rock whittles it down is like saying Lugia, Rayquaza, or most notably Ho-Oh should be OU for that same reason.
