It's because the relative value you can gain from using it is higher than the momentum drop on a well built slaking team. It's fast and has good coverage, so when played well it's monsterous. With that being said, the momentum drops put it where it is on the list, but it can be devistating. It's...

Please no. Liepard doesn't have a niche- at best it can irritate offense teams until a bad roll of the dice. It loses 100% to stall, especially bliss or chansey, and balance generally has ways of dealing with it without rng being a huge factor. Everything else in d rank can dependably fill a...

Gyarados is really good because of the way the meta is built. I think Jirachee put it well, but also the defensive utility gyarados provides is good to point out too, being a backup check to Keldeo and volcarona as well as the utility intimidate gives in the late game. Mamoswine is good because...

I would disagree because of the boom, but the point about struggling with blizzard in general is true. I just think the two together is what makes it effective, its extremely disruptive.

I'd like to see cloyster move up to B. It's a blizzard spammer with a wrap move and explosion, that's a lot of utility in and of itself, and when you add in how well it handles physicals it just gets better. It's got a very useful explosion, because lapras is the only thing that actually likes...

On mobile, so I'll edit this to mKe it more in depth, but I think tentacruel still deserves A rank. Yeah it's only really seen on rain balance and stall, but it's an incredible mon on both of those playstyles, setting and removing hazards very efficiently, living forever in rain, having near...

Seconding, Alakazam is one of the best things in the current meta. Abuses Sand balance and can handle opposing sand balance on the same slot while revenging Venusaur (and even volcarona with psych up) to help against sun, and even doing a number to rain. It doesn't really have bad matchups save...

Having goofed around on the ladder a bit I'd say the most fun addition to the tier is custap berry forry, that thing is so fun to play with. Terrakion is certainly broken, and mence is dangerous, but I don't think it's entirely broken, I think a longer test would be best for it. Mega sharpedo is...

I think cress should move up to A+. It's the best support mon in the game, can do anything your team could want and can do it extremely efficiently. It's extremely splash able on most play styles and can improve any team. Aside from being the bulkiest thing ever, it can control speed quite well...

Audino to drop to C: Yes, it's not even that good of a trick room setter now, no reason not to use cress Dragalge to rise to C+:Abstain Heliosk to rise to C+:No, D rank fits better, it's a bad thundurus with a tiny niche Gothitelle to drop to C+:Abstain Altaria to rise to C+:Yes Vivillon to...

You check them, and in the process of checking them lose hp, meaning that your sweep is less likely to happen. The point of my post, not to be rude, was that yes you can check them, but you weaken the ability to sweep with every hit you take. I'm not arguing it's bad, but S rank is excessive...

I think timburr fits A+ better than S given its compition and lower general team utility, especially when compared to mienfoo, who it competes with almost directly for a team slot. Timburr is a threatening sweeper, but it sacrifices so much of the utility mienshao provides, and that utility is...

Vileplume to A- Vileplume checks hariyama, feraligatr, lilligant and every other fighting type in the tier. It forms a good core with Seismitoad and spreads status quite well, as well as compressing the roles of bulky poison and bulky grass. I agree with Dentri about zangoose, it's quite...

Mind if I reserve swords dance serperior and weather setter liepard and uxie? I'll have them done much faster this time. :] Also, When writing these should I call weather setters support, or should I fit them in their own category?

Hey, I saw your post about garbodor in gen 5 OU and was wondering if you had a sample team with it? It's a cool idea and I'd love to see how you fit it in.

Typhlosion @ Choice Specs Ability: Blaze EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Eruption - Fire Blast - Hidden Power [Grass] - Extrasensory Role: Wallbreaker What It Does: Typhlosion is one of the most dangerous pokemon in the tier, slaughtering just about anything with prediction. It...

Haxorus is terrible. You're ignoring its weaknesses, and only talking about its few strengths. Haxorus looks good on paper I guess, but there's a reason it doesn't see usage except on niche drag mag teams that don't want a kyube. It's entirely outclassed by other dragons, who either have speed...

I would still use Landorus as the example... I guess it's beside the point. The matchup against other stall teams is very important, given it's (usually) one of stall's most difficult matchups, and honestly, although they aren't that difficult to clear they force your opponent into playing...
