Post champs Post custap vr post orders within the tiers do not matter

UR -> B+
Its like an ogerpon that can be teched for some dragons like raging bolt and haxorus I recommend trying this guy out #saveshaymin.

A -> B
In most cases throughout champs I found sylveon to be a liability and never ended up using it as I would almost always rather have a different fairy (especially florges).

D -> B

Standard

Klefki @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 180 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draining Kiss
- Iron Defense
- Magnet Rise
- Calm Mind

This fits well on a lot of teams especially with dragapilt, can also run stored power to beat pecharunt if you really wanted to

B -> A-

Find this mon to be a better sylveon in most cases so it ended up taking sylveon's spot here. Being able to beat donphan, all hands, alolatails + pao and primarina consistently with lefties is super nice, although you do get some shakier matchups.

C+ -> B+
This mon can do a lot I recommend trying it out.

Balloon

Fezanskibidi (Fezandipiti) (M) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Toxic Chain
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 44 SpD / 52 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Charm
- Moonblast
- Icy Wind
- Roost
Bulks meow + volcanion/wake

[fake tom numbers]

spore (alt: sleep powder) should be unbanned in sv post-1v1 cl. had a conversation with the greatest minds in 1v1 frogfacts bo_bobson27 delemon Eli Indi01 LittEleven and decided it provides value to the tier and actively encourages quality in builder/game. would address ongoing frustrations w the tier being stale and inactive apart from suspecting custap (nobody asked for this) and push sv to be more played.

encourage people to post their thoughts. include a personal vr if ur eliminated from cl after this week.
would help vivi venu brute lili-h which would help against prim poopa ogerw ursa cringe bulky slow mons etc. NOT YAWN; ursa learns it

 

[frogfacts]

zoroark hisui UR > C+ or like C tier or whatever
set i use is just specs hbeam focus blast flamethrower shadow ball but im p sure it has other coverage its also gotten some usage in cl by me and Fancy1 and kaif also spammed it in champs
