I'm glad to see Chandelure down to UU.
This thing was never OU worthy and now that the "OMG 145 SP. ATK!" vibe is dead people can see how bad it is.

I'm shocked and appalled to see Hippowdown down to UU. I think it's better than Tyranitar in every possible way. Better typing without a horrible 4x weakness and reliable recovery make it a much more reliable weather inducer than Tyranitar can possibly be.

And for god's sake STOP SAYING THAT SWAMPERT SHOULD NOT BE OU!
It's the only water type with good defenses, SR and Roar and this cannot be emphatized enough. It's far superior than Gastrodon, which is completely useless without a Storm Drain boost.
