I agree that the power ranger is pretty awesome, the red ranger was my favorite back in the day.... I've used him a bunch, on like almost all my teams, and while I don't play the typical DeoSharp core, he still carries plenty of weight. Being able to defer defog is p nice, as is pursuiting shit which is one of my favorite uses of him, but then you have to lose swords dance which prevents him from doing a boosted sweep unless defog. It's not that big of a deal tho, i like both options. I even tried grass knot for a while and had i remembered that i had it i would have won a match up against megados lol but i choked, which is my fault, not based bisharps. Idk, I love using him on my teams but if most ppl are saying he should be moved down to A+ then I'll go along with that.
char x i havent used much so i wont say much, but it seems really good having recovery, burning stuff, bulk, and dishing out lots of damage
Lando I is excellent, he can be revenge killed just like everyone else but theres almost no good switch ins to his amazing move pool and power
Deo D pretty much always grants at least stealth rock, is bulky enough to set multiple times, and can run superpower/magic coat or a lot of other stuff to take u by surprise and is one of the essential pieces of the ever popular deo-sharp core...
Deo S is brilliant as a revenge killer, plus he can set up some hazards, LO 3 attacks, 4 attacks, screens, etc
Thundy I has so much coverage that by the time you've scouted him he's already done a bunch of damage to your team. No one likes suspecting the special variant and bringing in something to take the hit to get knocked off or superpowered or done in by hp ice, psychic, taunted, etc etc very unpredictable.
Yea that's just my comments on S rank...
...as to who id like to see moved up or down, I'm not against kyube or m-venu moving down...I loved using Kyubes sub + 3 attacks like 2 months ago but i havent used him since. M-Venu, I've never really liked cuz he just sits there and doesnt die..he's pretty easy to play around now that everyone and their mum carries stuff to beat him, i havent had trouble with him in recent history, not that that means a whole lot he's still pretty capable...
Stuff that I like at the moment, Ferrothorn and Hippowdon for sure...some ppl have mentioned them and Idk if they need to move up or anything, but they're pretty great. Ferrothorn stacks hazards, leech seeds, can carry lefties for longevity w/ protect or rocky helmet for that sweet residual damage, has pretty insane bulk when fully invested , spDefensive is p good, has strong atcks and is no slouch with Gyro Ball which can take out mons trying to ddance on you, Power Whip, Knock off can surprise aegislash/lati@s, even bulldoze hehe which ive seen in some tournament play, Bloo iirc - i belive they were the one to bring ferro back to popularity - annnnnyway it walls a huge amt of shit and has two weakness, fire and fighting, which are common and kind of bad.... It doesn't do much tho to keldeo/char x/ lando i/ and some others i guess but it can be annoying af to take out sometimes.
hippo is in the same boat pretty much, reliable stealth rocker , recovery, can toxic blablahblah everyone knows what hippo does and he's good at it.
so if there's talk of venu moving down, as i honestly haven't seen much of him lately, and even on stall teams...well I don't wanna rep Hippo and Ferro too much, but i do like using them and they do pretty well i guess
as for moving down...manaphy, mandibuzz, terrakion, mamoswine...kind of arbitrary really but hardly anyone uses mamoswine once u get above 1500 elo or so, terrakion is good with a band, but very exploitable, he can set rocks and stuff too and is powerful, but i think he would fit well with scizor, gyarados, skarmory in A-.
I'd much rather use normal Gyarados or Scizor before i'd use mamoswine, so B+ for the mammoth.
Mandibuzz is really good..given the right circumstances. Giving trouble to bisharp/aegislash is one of the only things she does well...other than that you can hope your opp sets up so you can foul play which is pretty usefull, you can defog, taunt, but constantly getting worn down by hazards is a thing, and a lot of the time she can't do much besides trying to roost back up to stall out LO damage on the opp or something. idk, A- would probs be good for her, EDIT: altho id be fine with her staying in A
Manaphy is good on paper but against an offensive team she doesnt get the chance to really set up...still a threat with boosts but would fit well in B+ with M-Gardevoir, Diggersby, etc...sry if that's too much of a jump for most of you guys
anyway,im not one to get into big calculator debates or whatever, these are just a couple thoughts i have on a few mons
