Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I don't support the A+ nomination, and vote for Pinsir to stay in A- for the time being.

Although Pinsir is one of the luckiest mons in the game and rewards good prediction and...
Damn it, do I need to build another wall of proof to keep Mega Pinsir in A-? This thing hasn't changed at all, if anything MP is a little better than before.
Yugi
You want to nominate Pinsir to B+?
Well come take a seat and watch why Pinsir is in no way B+ material. This thing is a monster when on a proper team that has good type synergy.

I just...I just can't see Mega Metagross going down. It can cover most of the relevant metagame with just its STABS. Hits like a truck with Tough Claws + 150 Attack, and has base 110 speed.
If Mega Metagross goes to A+ in the next update, I'll use mega heracross on every team until I die.
My final thoughts on the matter:

Rotom-W bulk test.

7.8/10
Not enough bulky water.

Move to A- and lets get onto to better things. XD
Rotom is god no matter where he is ranked.
Honestly, I think Rotom-W is like the new donphan of conversation in this thread. Every time he's brought up the thread turns pretty bad.
I love AM to death, but that remark about Rotom's rank (in the huge post about tier opinions) felt sort of snarky and everyone was fine with in it in A rank...
I just don't think Rotom-W should leave A rank. If you play him right, he can be pretty useful.

Rotom blanket...
Excuse me for jumping from the bottom of the barrel to something relevant lol.
But what about normal Scizor's rank (B atm)? I'm thinking there's an argument for it to go B+
O, yeah MOAR MEGA PINSIR FUN

So I've noticed there's been some discussion on dropping Pinsir to the B ranks. I'll make a pretty good guess that the people who think Pinsir should drop are saying so because he's rarely seen in the metagame, and this somehow equates to him being worse. As a person whose mained this bug for...
