I guess I wasn't convincing or high enough ranked to be taken seriously, but a little saddened Dragalge and Vaporeon were left out of the ranking while Bellibolt and Flamigo were ranked. Also fairly surprised Floatzel and Barraskewda switched spots, they feel very similar in efficacy on rain teams.

If I would run Poison Fang, I'd run it over Super Fang, in which I'd lose the opportunity to massively chunk stuff like Ting Lu or Dondozo. Might be worth considering, but Super Fang is the only way for Grafaiai to do meaningful damage, so you have to choose your battles.

Sandy Shocks and speed tie other Garchomps. I think 301 is totally fine as well, though I would just hit 304 myself and call it a day.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not calling arms to ban Iron Valiant, by no means is it overwhelming. I think you're right in that Chien Pao can overpower most of the meta when positioned correctly, but more and more creative lures and Tera bait options are being played these days, as well as...

Oh boy, this'll be fun. Bolded my new additions that I think will eventually make the VR. If I have time later I'll do write ups for the new additions to justify them, because I think some might view it as... well, just strange without explanation. I've explained the new mons that were included...

Grafaiai @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Poison Touch Tera Type: Bug EVs: 248 HP / 24 Atk / 236 Spe Jolly Nature - Knock Off - U-turn - Taunt - Super Fang Fun set to try out. Knock Off, U-Turn, Super Fang all are contact moves so you can proc Poison Touch on them, and fast Taunt...

Which I think is pretty healthy. There's a lot of flexibility and role compression you can run, with the opportunity cost being you can't also run it as the other options. It's a strange situation where it does have 4MSS, but regardless of the moveset it still always feels effective. Biggest...

The team Chien Pao gets a lot of great switch ins due to Slowking Chilly Reception, and the increased bulk in Snow can help it survive the 1v1 vs DDnite and the like. Slowking Amoongus Regen core with bulky Covert Cloak Gholdengo for Garganacl who otherwise is a problem for the team. Mixed...

Skeledirge @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Unaware Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 208 HP / 252 SpA / 48 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Earth Power - Shadow Ball / Tera Blast - Torch Song - Slack Off I'm certain there are better sets, but something like this could work fine. Speed is to creep...

I might be blind but I don't see Skeledirge on here, base 66 168 with 31 IVs 0 EVs

Walled by Houndoom, D Rank at best. I have no opinion on Speed on Volcarona, but depending on how much Speed is required to outspeed Specs Valiant at +1, that's what I'd ideally hit.

I think Psychic is also nice into the Iron Moth match up, because otherwise you struggle with its future self. Not sure I would say its the best set, but its an interesting lure. I still think Bulkarona is its best bet until a decision around Chien Pao is reached, but Tera Ice is also cool into...

You can switch into Chien Pao with Iron Hands and win barring Icicle Crash flinch. Its my current check into it at least. Iron Hands is usually pretty free into mons like Corviknight and other weaker resisted moves, and when it gets in it usually can take a mon down. Also EQ has been very...

Yeah Tera was specifically mentioned as counterplay so I didn't bring it up. Though I think a lot of Kingambit are Tera Flying so difficult to say if it helps it much. To not make this a two liner, there's conversation in the PS OU chatroom regarding HDB and whether its problematic or not...
