If cresselia is reintroduced, it will make stall more viable which is great as it's more fun to have multiple play styles in a meta "cough" "cough" "OU get some variety" "cough". Also if cresselia comes back I'm thinking that the max defense sub CM set will dominate and then my favorite pokemon drapion will rise to the top 10 as it's probably the best defensive counter until cress starts running HP ground. Sure you can deal with cress the offensive way but it's not always the most successful because you don't really want cress hurting or spreading status all over your sweepers.
Personally I would love to see my little ant friend return, mostly because the meta is so offensive. Sure it has access to hustle, hone claws and great coverage moves that could possibly make it over powered, but it still has pitiful defenses. Any kind of priority except extremespeed will rip durant apart,
and not to mention things like accelgor, archeops, rhydon, sceptile, anything scarfed eat the face off of durant as well, unless you want to run some weird sub honeclaws set. And another thing not to forget is that with hustle all it's moves have bad accuracy so it's not like it can just switch in and sweep your whole team without risk, it really does need to setup.
