Tentacruel in particular is very absurd now that jolteon and alakazam are gone. Only one revenge killer in Espeon (two if we count the mediocre Tauros) and not a whole lot in the way of defensive answers. Answers include: -Curse Porygon2 and Kangaskhan: Pory gets ruined by a sludge bomb poison...

it seems like I already did a while ago, sorry for not clarifying autumn

As someone who's laddered extensively with Caly-I during both suspects (and succeeded very well with it), no way it's that high. It definitely deserves higher than Kyurem-Black but it certainly doesn't deserve A. It's mostly limited to hyper offense teams cause it's a huge tera hog. w/o it...

There's really no reason to preserve it just for Houndstone. ADV Ubers didn't preserve Baton Pass just because something like Volbeat wouldn't be broken with it. Also, Basculegion-f and White Stripped Basculin exist, both of which would absolutely be broken with Last Respects. Last Respects is...
