It’s just us kittens left, and the rain is coming
Ok if you're not running quick guard/taunt just to snipe char y fine
and do we even still think of washtom as tier 1? and even then you just get burned immediately and it's a momentum suck
Not to mention losing to a load of mons such as aegislash, any grass, fairies, etc
The real issue is that not only does it lose to tr and sun but it also gets hard-rekt by anything it can't hit super-effectively and has way too many switchins
Like you can't rank a mon by how many mons in tier 1 it 1v1s, and these 1v1s are shaky too.
In my eyes, the tier 3 description fits perfectly.
Pokemon which are on the edge of viability. Here either through good matchups with a few specific top threats (such as Infernape vs Aegislash, Amoonguss, and Kangaskhan or Milotic vs Landorus-T), or because they fulfill a valuable niche on a certain type of team (such as Kingdra on Rain or Rhyperior on Tailwind). Just because a Pokemon worked on a single team does not mean it belongs here.
If you think it's an anti-meta mon then it obviously deserves to be in tier 3.
Beyond that it's seen little to no success in seasonal/room tours/any matches I've ever seen, which says a lot about it too.
