Hippowdon is capable of walling Zekrom, Groudon, extremekiller, and even of phazing Rayquaza whilst providing SR. With its new ability it can function much like a Groudon with recovery for rain teams, without using up your arceus slot on a defensive form. I think this niche qualifies it for tier 2.
