Drops
A+ -> A- Qwilfish really sucks atm, doesnt check any of the toptiers, and is outclassed by jelli as a water+fighting resist, and by froslass as a spiker.
A+ -> A Kinda struggle in the current meta; aggron often plays the role of the aurorus we knew in the past, and oricorio dies to froslass, togedemaru, aggron and dodrio. I dont see a reason to use them atm, i would often just use aggron or froslass instead of these two.
A -> A- Swanna, swanna, what are u doing nowadays? Being a bad dod, being a bad defogger, being an awful scarfer, being replaced by bulky, tanky, sweeping corios. Swanna is too "slow" in the current meta and just frail, dont use it imo. A defogger than threatens mudsdale? Frosttom does it +beats froslass. Spiritomb has fallen in disgrace, was amazing in ferro meta, but now, what are u going to do vs froslass, aggron, mudsdale? It doesnt provide the role compression it did in the past, and isnt the go-to spinblocker: froslass does it well, and jelli... you know, ghost competition.
Also sableye actually scares aggron and dodrio away.
Rises
A -> A+ Mudsdale is the best rocker with mesprit atm, almost a standard mon in balance and bulky offense, checks aggron, dodrio, primeape, togedemaru, hitmonchan, gurdurr, skunk, lycanrock, pressures articuno, has no switchin except grasstypes and quagsire. This mon is just goat. Togedemaru is the, THE scarfer, and there is no reason not to use it, checks lilligant froslass lycanrock dodrio clefairy oricorios swanna jynx scyther omastar it checks EVERYTHING. Togoat.
A- -> A Ok this mon is the best hazard remover in balance. Checks aurorus, lilligant, weezing cant touch it, froslass wont beat it easily, it is immune to toxispikes, it says fuck jynx and fuck scyther, it takes 0.00% from defensive mesprit and sets up rocks+spins, wtf man this mon is amazing. Also the hail one is A- rank worthy imo since evry team can stop it reliably, but
the Spdef one is A rank worthy imo.
Thanks for reading.
