I'll touch on a few of these drops/raises from the front page
Hippowdon A+ -> A: Meh
On one hand, this thing is outright beat one-on-one or cannot switch into several prominent attacking threats.
M-Meta
0 SpA Tough Claws Mega Metagross Grass Knot (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Hippowdon: 312-368 (74.2 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Tough Claws Mega Metagross Grass Knot (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Hippowdon: 212-250 (50.4 - 59.5%) -- 82.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
(EQ only does 61.7 - 73.7% back)
Manaphy- no calc needed
M-Zard X- 2HKO's SpDef variants without boosts, needs +1 to 2HKO others. Hippo wins one on one, but can't switch in.
Clefable- Can switch in and set up, but will have to use Wish often, as EQ does ~30%
On the other hand... can't argue with 108/118/72(adequate if invested fully and sand is up) bulk and still can wall most Scarfers, Lando-T, ,etc. On top of that it gets slack off, rocks, decent offense, and sand (which I should be praising more). So consensus is meh.
Serperior A- -> A: Yes
Things that consistently wall it/switch in: Amoongus, Venusaur, Skarm
Things that inconsistently wall it: Pink Blobs, Bronzong, Ferrothorn, Heatran, M-Aggron,
Things that usually kill it: M-Altaria, Talonflame, Powerful Scarfers/Megas
Things that die: Pretty much everything else
Latias A -> A-: No
Still not enough hazard removers and clerics that are as fast and bulky, while not offensively useless out there. The reason I could still see a drop is because of this speedy, powerful, fairy prevelant meta, but ultimately it does its job well enough.
