If it's ok, I'd like to offer my two cents on things :)

Yonko, while I agree with almost all your post, there are a few things I thought I'd mention. Galvantula gets Giga Drain, so that should be replacing the Energy Ball mention. I don't really understand the support segment on Kabutops' offensive section (and generally question the usefulness of defensive 'Tops in it's entirety, but whatever), and should probably be rephrased in a manner reflecting his efficiency as an offensive Rapid Spin user. Klinklang really shouldn't be using a Hidden Power, and anywho the statement that Ferroseed beats variants lacking HP Fire is blatantly false, as it can just set up to +6 with Substitute (as Gyro Ball fails to break it's subs) and proceed to 2HKO. Moltres and Feraligatr are both much shakier checks with the introduction of Wild Charge to Klinklang's movepool, so I dunno if they should be mentioned. You might want to stress Liligant's shallow coverage, and how it's checks and counters (barring stuff like Afrobull) are almost completely determined by which Hidden Power type is used.

Anywho, I really think that Aggron should be removed from defensive threats. Honestly, I haven't seen a defensive Aggron in my life, and it shouldn't be encouraged for use :/ Moreover, Crustle should by every right be getting an Offensive Threat mention, especially when it's SS set is indefinitely superior to it's Defensive set. Seconding Kangaskan for strong threat too !_!

Oh, and I'll reserve Typhlosion and Durant for now if that's cool. I'll do my bestest to get them up asap :]
