Has Special Tauros, corrosion sub stall Salazzle, and a scarf Kanghskan that occasionally steals a kill. See if you can surprise some people with it!

Gen 8 OU
Tbh this team still gets popped by spectrier but once urshifu gets banned you can replace buzz with something better equipped for the meta
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...
Mega Altaria: S --> A+: Neutral
The main thing with M-Altaria is 4 slot move syndrome. It hits like a truck even at neutral to many things, but one popular physical wall, (other than Garchomp, but even Rough Skin+Rocky Helmet does well) and it finds itself struggling. Lando-T and Ferro give it...
Shadow Tag: Do Not Ban
Why? Because unlike several other things that have been banned in the past, this is in Ubers. Ubers is technically a banlist, so banning something from a banlist would have to be EXTREMELY broken. Is shadow tag that broken? No. Only things that should be banned are things...
The most underrated offensive threat of RU. Curse Registeel.
Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Rest
EQ nails whatever iron head doesn't. Set has problems with Moltres :P. Other than that, it wrecks any...
CB Metagross/DD Salamence
Metagross can wear down bulky waters or flat out kill with explosion, and ddmence can set up and sweep/dent the rest of the team.
i agree with Gothitelle for B or B- rank, Raikou still a solid enough option, but has no real niche where it's not outclassed so C+ rank from me.
Also, I nominate Reuniclus for B rank. Still a deadly sweeper/team crippler if it gets up a trick room.
