Here's a short list so far. Discussion on these pokemon is highly encouraged:
Celebi: It got demolished by +2 Crunches and Dark Pulses from -M Lucario and +1 Uturns from Genesect. Its defensive capabilities have improved, as well as offensive, as two pokemon that resisted its STAB are now gone.
C+ ---> B-/B
In general, Psychic and Grass was two of the types hurt by the two threads that got banned.
Quagsire: With the one non-grass physical attacker that it couldn't check out of the way, M-Lucario, Quagsire has gotten better defensively.
C ---> C+/B-
Not. Quagsiure has porr stats that iuf it wasn't for Unaware it would be unviable I don't suiggest puttiung up C for now
Hippowdon: The hippo has always been awesome defensively, but two things held it back: STAB from M-Lucario and ice beams from genesect. Now those aren't relevant, so he can wall so much more.
B+ -----> A-
I think that A- for a pokemon that isn't on the Top 100 right now is pushing it. I will put it in B* still because special attacker with Water, Grass and Ice sttacks will rise.
Slowbro: Slowbro, like Hippowdon, is a great defensive choice. But, +2 Crunches and Dark Pulses from -M Lucario and +1 Uturns and Thundurbolts from Genesect were very hard to take. Now, with none of those existing, I'd suggest
B ------> B+
I agree. Slowbro is a really great in this metagame- Regenerator means that it can afford to go an Assault Vest and can be annoying to deal sometimes. And psychic is less a liability this time (there's still Aegislash, though)
Slowking: Like its bro, Slowking is a great defensive choice. But, +2 Crunches and Dark Pulses from -M Lucario and +1 Uturns and Thundurbolts from Genesect were very hard to take. Now, with none of those existing, I'd suggest
C- ------> C+
I rise with this up because Psychic types has beeen buffed with the bans in general. Slowking rise makes sense with rise with Slowbro rise.
Crawdaunt: Crawdaunt used to find it very hard to deal with T-bolts and Uturns from genesect and fighting moves from M-lucario.
C+ -------> B-
I agree with that. Crawdaunt is really great in this metagame. it's one of the Pokemon that got buffed to death this gen.
Alakazam:
These descriptions are getting very repetitious. I'll just say a rating from now on if I feel the reasoning is obvious. B -----> B+
And with the decrease of priority Bullet Punch and Extremespeed, and the threat of U-turn, Mega Alakazam deserves the same rank because it's a very serious threat.
Mega Tyranitar:
A -----> A+
I agree completely with this. Also, with normal tyranitar. Tyranitar has now only to deal with Conkeldurr as a top tier fighting types that are overly common. Mega Tyranitar has the benefits of having a very high defense for a offensive threat. Ah, I forgot that you post about Tyranitar below.
Wobbufett: C+ --------> B
Two threats less that it can't handle. Meaning that now every other U-turn (except maybe Scizor) can't be deal easily with Wobbuffet and there aren't +2 Dark pulse easily I think that deserves putting up 1 rank. B- could be a worthwhile rank for Wobbuffet rank now
Tyranitar: A -----> A+
I agree for the same reason as his mega. Other sets of tyranitar are also buffed for the abscene for two of his checks.
Cresselia:
Unranked -----> C
Even more. Specially after two threats are gone. With less weather (aand Tyranitar Sand stream (the only one that you should care and it's benefited fromt he toher one) usually doesn't run Smooth Rock because Tyranitar now doesn't abuse sandstorm now. This means that Cresselia has reliable recovery now. And one really dangeropus U-turn out of the way (many of the Uturn are a threat of her). And don't forget the fact that this is the best mixed wall of the tier.
Meloetta:
C- -------> C
His specially bulk almost exactly of Florges (which means it surpasses Sylveon a bit) means that Meloetta are technically better as a special tank. Right now Psychic types are less a liability right now, and Meloetta has the niche of being a Psychic that usually wins with Ghost not named Aegislash meaning gthat only really loses against offensive Dark and the rare Bug 8outside Scizor) abusers.
Delphox:
Unranked ------> C-
Delphox is viable, specially now that Psychic types are in general more viable. Has Will-o-wisp (and a moveslot to use it) to cripple Bisharp and the rest of Darks (that are mainly physical except Greninja) and Fire/psychic is a goodoffensive combination. I think ti deserves D specially because it's outclassed
Victini:
Unranked ------> C+
B tier. Victini is a beast with his physical set of V-Create/U-turn/Bolt Strike/Zen Headbutt. And this is not the only set it can run. It can run special sets with Blue Flare/Searing Shot (remember Scald), has decent defenses (100/100/100) and it's one of the few threats that canhave 3 STABs and not being a silly set (Ex: Zen headbutt/Bolt Strike/V-create/Blue Flare)
Xatu:
Unranked ------> C+
I think it deserves a C ranking, if anything. mega Absol and Espeon does a way better role as Magic Bounce. They are also frail, but Mega Absol is as frail as Xatu, and Espeon is more bulky on the special side (specially Cam Mind). Espeon and Mega Absol are bad defensive pokemon, but are good in ofensive presence, Xatu can't afford that.
Mega Gardevoir:
B+ --------> A-
One of the main scarfer gone, two fo the few main resist of Hyper Voice with a Super effective move gone. Mega Gardevoir is a beast right now, with an acceptable 100 speed tierand his STAb pixilate Hyper Voice.
Gardevoir:
C+ ----------> B-
No, in general there's little reason to run non-Mega Gardevoir right now.
Sharpedo: Arguments to drop this, citing priority, were strong. But, with the two strongest priority users gone, I'd keep it where it is.
B- ------> B-
I don't comment on this.
Mega Absol:
B- ------> B/B+
I agree with this. One predicted Sucker Punch (Magic Bounce helps) and you have 115 Speed. Add that 150 Base Attack and Dark STAB and this is a best. It greatly dbenefits from the two threats that were down yesterday. And no Mega Lucario means less competition for the Mega slot.
Espeon:
C+ ------> B-
One threat of over 110 Speed with a Dark type move gone. One of the few pofensive Uturn gone. It's buffed. Espeom is surprisingly good at abusing his Special Attack stats, and it's useful for offensive teams.
Absol:
Unranked --------> D
No.
Liepard: Does the same thing as Klefki, and isn't ruined by U-turns AS much now that Genesect is gone.
C- ------> Unranked -------> D
Iffy.
Mega Medicham:
B+ --------> A-
I agree with that. Psychic is less a liability right now and now Fighting types are more rare in the metagame. Mega Medicham is the best Fighting abuser oif the meta alongside Conkeldurr.
Lucario: Now it has no competition from its mega form.
B- -------> B
I agree. However, Lucario is not that good without the Mega The 22 speed it loses means that it'soutspeed by many offensive threats. and adaptability give a 1.33 boost tohis STAB that now doesn't have.
Tornadus Therian: It no longer has to compete with Genesect as a pivot. It also won't get recked by Ice Beams/Thunderbolts from Genesect.
B ------> A-
A- is too mcuh Tornadus-T is really nerfed by the rain nerf.
