Excadrill on sand really only had Ability Shield Fur Coat mons as defensive counterplay, as anything else would fall victim to at least one of Banded Tinted Lens/Sword of Ruin sets or setup variants after a boost. Offensive counterplay was also spread thin thanks to Sand Rush.
After a bit of experimentation, Magnet Pull has proven to be unreasonably hard to account for in practice, as Magnet Pull users can trap Imposter, as well as themselves, without a free turn due to their additional Ability. Magnet Pull users' potential to trap passive Steel-types and set up to oblivion was deemed uncompetitive.

and 
is an incredibly powerful special wall, and is a fairly reliable hazard remover, though it suffers from passivity a fair bit.
is the team's main Special pressure, and can tank 1 hit from most fast mons, and threaten slower mons, while also being a stopgap imp proof for :Toxxapex:
is a replacement for 
because this team was originally made before the challenge code had forme lock enabled for the dog. It's a fast physical threat that can really fuck up offensive pokemon like 
, 
or 
does Imp stuff, nothing special about it.

Coal has Steel/Bug still with U Turn which should be on it.
Mola has Water/Ground sets
Does this thing even exist anymore?
Tapu Lele should have Psychic/Ghost sets
Aerodactyl is definitely overrated like who is using that
Cheesy and all but I just feel it doesn't deserve B Rank
Who ever used this?
I have seen no one use this.
Could see this as a moldy mon but outclassed by Firepon and is just overrated.
Now this is a mega, but I just haven't seen anyone using it.

Cheesy mon but can be good with Stamina and Calm Mind with a Normal typing to be Spectral Immune
Not very good, but its viability is dependent on getting Chilly Receptioned. That’s not as good with the Electro Shot and ZardY bans gutting weather a bit. It’s bulkier and faster than Beartic, and its attack isn’t negligible with a Band or Swords Dance. It deserved to be ranked.
Is an underrated late game cleaner. It can run either physical or special. It’s very rare to see it but I don’t think of it as untiered.
Knock it down a few ranks for sure. It’s there for Water Absorb. It’s worse than Volcanion, but not untiered imo. This could go either way.
Feels at least a bit nicer to use than in base BH since its checks are either super passive (Gliscor food) or not as common. Ice Beam's mostly for Gliscor but it's also decent coverage in general. I'd say maybe a third of all games are won by positioning Eleceus for a sweep when the opponent wouldn't be able to break through. Not much else to say, with Strength Sap Eleceus seems like it can 1v1 almost any physical mon.
MG is unintuitive but it allows you to continuously come in on hazards and do your thing against passive mons, especially since you're also immune to Salt Cure that way. Dual Spin means you have semi-reliable removal which is important on a structure like this, Burning Bulwark lets you burn stuff and safely get Poison up against most stuff, and Spikes because there's honestly not much the opponent can do when Gliscor sits on passive mons forever. If you accidentally Poison Imposter with Mortal Spin it's not the end of the world because that means Imp's worse off against every other team member.
VD sweeper since those are broken as shit and discourage bringing Choiced breakers in in the right situations. 32 Attack EVs lets Yveltal self-Improof since +4/+6/+6 Power Trip deals <50% to itself; this might seem like a large detractment from Yveltal's potential power but it's still slightly stronger than non-Dark Aura Adamant Yveltal so it works out. Another third of my games end with a Yveltal sweep.
Klefki generally has pretty shitty raw bulk so it might seem unintuitive but with Ice Scales (ends up with ~200k HP*SpD, making it 25% bulkier on the special side than Registeel) and its defensive typing (as well as Rain from Kyogre) it actually performs its function pretty well, with Ghostceus dealing 25-30% and randomly eating SE hits on the special side. Knock for item removal and Taunt stuff (as opposed to a no attack set), while Haze/Parting Shot allow Klefki to prevent sweeps while retaining momentum. The latter synergizes especially well with Kyogre since at -1 they both collectively wall like everything.
The first thing I realized was that Bascu doesn't actually lose much from not running Primordial Sea, save for the Speed boost – while Technician restricts the moves you'd prefer to run it provides the same multiplier as Rain to your main STAB (Surging Strikes) as well as other attacks Basculegion favors (Jet Punch, Flip Turn). Add Rain support onto that, and Basculegion's Surging Strikes 2HKOes everything that isn't a 4x resist or some extremely bulky Prankster resist like Giratina. Spirit Shackle over Poltergeist since you 2HKO frailer 4x Water resists anyway and some bulkier ones (Dialga-O, Eternatus) get 2HKOed with a bit of chip if you don't want to click Water STAB for whatever reason. This is your main breaker so try not to lose it early on.
Probably the most important deviation from "standard" Rain, Altaria pairs well with everything else against Sun, more or less hardcounters MG Sceptile, and can reliably remove hazards via PixiSpin. Nuzzle's theoretically useful to slow everything down in case Bascul(eg)i(o)n lack Rain support for whatever reason, and dissuades Imposter from coming in. PixiBurst minimizes Altaria's passivity, letting it reliably check VD Yveltal, and generally forces things out, helping to retain momentum. Pivoting's also pretty nice. One downside of Altaria's its rather disappointing bulk when not resisting something, just before writing this post it got OHKOed t1 by Specs (Mold Breaker) Porygon-Z through AV so don't recklessly throw it out against everything.
Basically a worse Basculegion, but that's too high a bar to really mean much of anything – Wave Crash still 2HKOes resists/OHKOes most neutral foes with chip, and Flip Turn still deals a decent amount. Recoil-less Head Smash helps against Desoland Fires (mainly Ho-Oh/Char X) that might try and annoy Basculin, while Glacial Lance is a filler move that 2HKOes Eternatus and theoretically hits Hydrapple.
Improofs everything if you don't get Ability Shield Knocked (though Altaria/Eternatus can deal with Impostered Bascs satisfactorily it's not the end of the world if you do get your item removed). Not much else to say, aside from AShield the set's identical to what's found on base BH Rain.
this thing, so I have to use the fully evolved form. It gets 116 attack and STAB on every move and there are loads of strong physical moves it can use, like V-create Glacial Lance, Headlong Rush, Bolt Strike, Close Combat, Sunsteel Strike (or Gigaton Hammer, but it doesn't work that well with band), and more, which hit quite hard when paired with Adaptability:
