I'be been using Shell Smash on this thing. Not fantastic but it works alright. It gets decent speed after a boost and STAB, +2 Fire Blast is a nuke.

Now that Alakazam is ded, could we unrank Jolteon? Now that there's no relevant base 120 Speed mons, I see very little reason to use it over Heliolisk- the only thing I can really think of is that it speed ties with CB Crobat and has a neutrality to Infernape's Mach Punch, but the former's not...

I'm supporting the Heracross to D nom, if only for the reason that I think it's not totally outclassed. Guts means that it is pretty much the only Fighter that can break M-Sableye without taking a burn (Conkeldurr can't hit Sableye hard enough with its coverage moves) as well as the BandGuts set...

Ok then, I see a drop from V4 which I strongly disagree with: Gourgeist-XL Unranked--->D I think Gourgeist has just enough of a niche to be ranked, albeit no higher than D. Its niche is its fantastic 85/122 Physical bulk, combined with its decent defensive typing. Together, these allow it to...

Whilst it's cool to see Conk drop, it does meant that we'll see even less BandGuts Machamps, what with Durr generally doing the Guts gig better. And that makes me sad. ;_;

Wait, so Amoog + Quagsire are now OU? Isn't Quag going NU-->OU the biggest rise ever?

Hm.. shouldn't be too useless here, imho. The main reason it's bad in standard tiers is because it's heavily outclassed by other offensive Fire-types like Delphox in RU, but it may have a niche here (maybe a Sticky Web team with Smeargle?)

I've found that Piloswine is extremely underrated. It checks so much, it's ridiculous. Nidos, Dragonite, Raikou, T-Tar... On that note, Nidoking also seems to work decently; not a top threat due to its disappointing speed, but Sucker Punch works for Alakazam and it can break through several walls.
