Thread idea borrowed from TPP here
This thread is intended to help beginner and even veteran VGC players in finding Pokemon that could fill certain roles for their team or even identifying what roles a Pokemon could have on opposing teams. All of the Pokemon listed are some of the more viable users in each category, but if a strong enough case is made for a Pokemon not listed then it can be added. Also, Dynamax is a bit of a weird category to add because Dynamax naturally makes a wide variety of Pokemon more viable but if there's enough defense for it it can be added.
