In the anime's defense, the J arc in DP was surprisingly dark.
The final episode with the lake trio really takes the cake and could be considered the darkest episode in the entire series.

Terrakion can't be placed in a lower rank than Keldeo.
Water/Fighting is resisted by a plethora of common OU pokemon and Keldeo has to rely on the weak Icy Wind and Hidden Power to get past them. ...

Further fragmentation of the ranks makes things unecessarily complex.
The ranks are fine the way they are right now.

Why would you run CB Dragonite?
Sure it has Outrage/Dragon Claw and Extremespeed but its coverage moves are really underwhelming.
Fire Punch is too weak and Superpower on a CB set is a no-no unless...

4x SR weakness automatically disqualifies Volcarona from being A-rank.
And, yes, Shell Smash is the best boosting move in the game as the defense drops are easily negated by White Herb.
