Alright I usually don't post much on Smogon but I've been trying to change that so here is my 2 cents on the topics as of now. (I'm new to this so don't get too mad at me)
Metagross to A+
Really hard for me to make a decision on it but I really do think it's time for it to move down. The increase of Skarm, Mega Scizor and Bulky Chomp really hurt it (literally in Bulky Chomp's case lol) these mons all get free turns off of Metagross's precense and can use it to set up rocks, spikes, SD, etc. Also stuff like Clef which its supposed to switch in to now carry t-wave which cripple mega metagross for the rest of the match. Don't get me wrong Mega Meta is still a threat but not the same threat we saw earlier in the year (it was suspected thats how good it was)
Keldeo to S
I can definitely agree with this movement the influx of Weavile and Scizor is really helping Keldeo. The plethora of sets it can run also make it a threat in the current metagame. Specs acting as a great wallbreaker and scarf serving as a good cleaner late game with its stabs. Even SubCM something i was initially opposed to has put in a lot of work in practice. The presence of pursuit trapping really does help it as Weavile usually traps Latis for Keldeo to destroy the team. Keldeo is definitely a great mon rn and I can definitely see it rising to S
Rotom-W to A-
Unfortunately my fav washing machine is going to move down and I support this as well. It simply just gets overwhelmed. The influx of bulky talonflame which wisps it and wears it down really hurts it and stuff like Refresh/heal Bell Altaria just uses it as set-up fodder. It simply just gets overpowered by top tier OU threats such as mega meta, mega gyara, zard x, alt even Clef can use it as set-up fodder. So ya even though it is a good blanket check to a lot of things it simply just gets overpowered to easily. The lack of reliable recovery also hurts it.
Celebi to B+
Yes. Its way too passive to do anything. Zard X just sets up and rips apart your team. Weavile's precense hurts it and although I used to love using it, it simply is too little in this metagame of Weavile, Tornadus-T, Zard, Altaria.
Gengar to A
Disagree no matter what this thing still hits like a truck. Ripping apart balance teams with relative ease, Even though we do see stuff like Weavile and Tornadus-T around they really dont appreciate switching in. and if Gengar decides to set up a Sub on the switch and then Wisps the weavile, thats a pretty good trade off. Gengar's speed is still great even though it isnt spectacular it still puts in work and giving it a free turn usually ends up with something severely crippled.
Hippowdon to A+
I agree. There's a reason this thing has shot up in usage. It's simply so easy to put on balance teams. Its overall bulk allows it to tank hits from so many mons its crazy. I mean it can get set up on by Bulk Up Talonfalme (If no toxic/whirlwind) and it does struggle with water types (Keldeo/Manaphy) Those weaknesses don't take too much away from its superb utility. Not much to say on this mon! It's simply one of the best.
