Now, I will give my opinion on Wingull.
And really, I want to say that now, I just love this mon.
He needs a lot of support to work, but Hurricane + Scald + LO kills just a significant portion of the metagame.
Wingull is probably one of only special birds in the tier with NP Vullaby. I often used it in lead, because he kills Dril with Scald, Foo and Timburr with Hurricane (Timburr can survive however with a BU spread). U-Turn is just a must have in Wingull, because he has a fantastic synergy with Diglett, and Wingul is a perfect lure for Chinchou, who risks to be trapped after a U-Turn. He has no sure switch-ins, even if Porygon/Munchlax and some others can take hits easily.
He can be played with Diglett, like a DigFletch. Obv, gothita is too a good support for him, but Goth is mostly used in order to trap Archen, and Wingull don't give a fuck about him. 19 spd is also great, allowing him to outspeed really a lot of things (Archen, Foo, Gastly, Dril, and more).
His typing is also great, I explain : Often he came on a DP, a Mach Punch, a Vacuum Wave (DP does like 40%) in order to keep to momentum, and his resistance fighting is perfect for this. It forces the switch and I can scout the switch-in and keep the initiative.
Now his failings :
He is really frail, it's very difficult to switch with him. His ground immunity is often the only way, with his resist fight. I would have wish too that his spe atk was better. 55 isn't very good, and I miss a lot of OHKO's due to that. With 10 bs more, he would have been great. That's not badly. His stealth rocks weakness is also terrible, LO + SR just cripples him. His staying power is really, really awful. The last problem is that it's quite difficult to play with him rain less (Like me) due to the accuracy of Hurricane, who just make me lose a lot of time.
However, it's a great mon, and a very decent D Rank. A lot of teams are disoriented by him, because flying counters are usually Archen (who is beaten) and Chinchou (Who can be trapped) and he can deal with a lot of good teams.
My opinion is made : Viable mon for good.
I will edit if I win another medal.
By the way, here is the export if you want to test, enjoy :

I stop with this account c: .
Let's test another thing :
Alt: Deadball for Kill
Rank: 1124
Pokémon:
Voltorb @ Choice Specs
Ability: Static
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 36 Atk / 240 SpA / 196 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Sucker Punch
With his high speed, Voltorb can use Choice Specs in order to offset his atk spe who is quite weak. The coverage of the set isn't very good due to the lack of good special moves. I chase Sucker Punch with Hasty nature instead of Signal Beam, because I find that Signal Beam in a electric type sucks and because a priority is always useful.
Let's test !
