Croagunk should be A-Rank. It can sweep but I'm the only one using the Bulk Up set(it's so good sets up on waters and fighters) and it's one of the best fighting-type checks. although it's worse at switching in on fighting-type moves than missy, missy losses to all fighting-types that arent Mienfoo. Snover is an incredilby Pokemon and should be A-Rank. Checks Water-types and sand really well. Hippo is good outside of supporting Lileep and Drilbur. It's a solid phazers and its access to reliable recovery means it stick around for a long time. Another A-Rank mon.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Bronzor is a C-Rank Pokemon. Bronzor is a good defensive Pokemon but that's literally all he is. He has NO offensive presence and just gives powerful threats or entry hazards mon a free switch in. Against a lot of the threats its supposed to check like Murkrow, it'll lose in the lategame since it has no feasible way of severely denting the Pokemon it's supposed to be checking, Drilbur being the exception. Bronzor is just a mediocre Pokemon.

Scraggy should be the final addition to the S-Rank. This thing is just so sick! It's super bulky with Eviolite and it can beat almost all of its checks with a little bit of support. With Stealth Rock and a tiny bit of residual damage, Scraggy can defeat Mienfoo, it's most common check; Croagunk losses to any Scraggy running Zen Headbutt but it also can't take repeated Hi Jump Kicks, especially after Stealth Rock or with some sand damage; Shelmet gets donked by Stealth Rock and Crunch on the switch if you predict correctly. This thing can set up on so many Pokemon too! Lileep, Chinchou, Bronzor, and Snover are just a few examples. Scraggy is a pretty sick Pokemon that should be S-Rank
