I see why Weavile's STABs look nice from a type standpoint - Dark and Ice nail plenty of valuable targets, and STAB Pursuit on something fast enough to not need a Choice Scarf is also nice. But the thing is, as Electivire has proven, super-effective coverage isn't enough on its own, and that's...

Thing is, that logic doesn't really work because Sucker Punch isn't a punching attack. It's a rather unfortunate translation from its JP name, ふいうち (lit. "Surprise Attack"), where a name like "Cheap Shot" would've worked just fine without getting it confused as a punch, especially in the same...

Seel and Dewgong have Fake Out as an Egg move and can learn Aqua Jet by levelling up, which is how it can then pass both moves down to Squirtle. Sadly, there is no such combo for Aqua Jet + Mirror Coat.

Mowtom doesn't benefit from Terrains. Nothing with Levitate does.

So something like 212 Atk / 112 SpA / 184 Spe with a Naughty Nature? 184 EVs with a neutral nature puts it at 242 Speed, or 363 at +1, enough to outrun Timid Starmie (361). As for the Sp. Attack... 112 SpA Life Orb Dragonite Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 334-394 (100 - 117.9%) --...

Weather Ball seems like an interesting middle ground between Surf and Hydro Pump, but there's a pretty big downside to it: you have no Water STAB when it's not raining. I know the idea is to have it in rain as much as possible (primarily with Pelipper's help), but that's not always how it goes...

It's important to note that Complete Zygarde always starts off in its 50% form, and it changes into its Complete form through its Ability (Power Construct) when it loses enough HP. So it really is a case of saying the same Pokémon should be rated differently for a good Ability versus a shit one...

Saying "Zygarde with Aura Break should be D-tier" is like saying "Ho-Oh with Pressure should be D-tier". Giving Pokémon different rankings for different Abilities would just be arbitrary and pointless.

Does anyone have Kantonian Vulpix with Drought (preferably in a Level Ball)? I can offer any of these guys from previous breeding projects:

Those new 3D models are a recent change to Showdown itself. It was announced a couple of days ago here.

I'd have to wonder about that, since the games were thoroughly datamined (with the data dumped on this site, no less) before their official release date. I was able to easily find sound files of the cries with a quick Google search, so... yeah.

Dunno how often this gets brought up, but is there a reason why the new USUM mons (Necrozma forms and new UBs) don't have their cries on Showdown yet? Games have been out for close to half a year, so I'm really curious.
