If it had access to moves like Superpower, Earthquake, and Stone Edge, i would whole-heartedly agree with a B Rank..

However, because of how many counters it has due to it's limited movepool, I believe it fits the C Rank definition better.

Just a small nitpick, Klinklang can actually turn ferroseed into set up bait by using Substitute, as ferroseed is completely unable to break Klinklang's substitute in one hit even with a maximum power gyro ball, from there Klinklang can set up with shift gear to +6 while PP stalling gyro ball's measly 8 PP, then it can stall for lefties recovery and knock out ferroseed, otherwise, your point is sound when it comes to coverage problems.

Also, sorry, i didnt see that you mentioned that Skuntank can use explosion in your other post haha :P.
