I'm really bored so I'm going to go through some of the mons in the VR and talk about my opinions about them.
S
My S Tier is weird and keep in mind their isn't that much of a gap between tiers.
A lot of people are saying that this mon should be in S-, but the fact that it has a variety of good sets makes it S in my opinion. While you could just run brain dead scarf, it can run Chople, specs, and other items. I personally think it is a tier above Primarina, so it should stay in S. Edit: I forgot to say that this mon is banworthy. It is the reason you see so much AV and Chilan Berry.
This mon is busted. I would love to make a S+ tier just for this thing. The main thing it has over Porygon-Z is versatility. It's stats, movepool, and typing allow it to run almost anything. It also has a wincon as long as it is faster than the opponent and they aren't immune to flinches , because even without Thunder Wave it has a 57% chance to flinch. I spent about an hour looking for a mon that can beat Togekiss 100% of the time and I couldn't find one. The closest I got was Silvally-Electric and Inner Focus Mudsdale, but those are not very common and don't beat a lot of other mons. It is busted and should be banned.
This mon is an extremely solid mon that has some options, but I would leave it in S-. It doesn't have as much variability as Togekiss and even Porygon-Z, and it's answers are more clear cut. It is still an excellent mon with moves like Aqua Jet and Encore that it can use though.
A
Over Gen 8's lifespan people have found more and more ways to deal with this thing. I would personally lower it to A, but the fact that it can run scarf, band, or endure makes it a good mon nonetheless. It has some clear cut answers, but it's power cannot be underestimated.
It's variety of sets makes it a solid A+ tier mon. It's movepool and speed allow it to be extremely versatile, and a lot of it's counters don't overlap. It isn't S Tier though because it does have clear cut answers and it isn't as versatile as the mons in S.
While I haven't used this mon much in this gen, it seems very good and it has a lot of options. It is extremely bulky and has a wide movepool, allowing it to run offensive and defensive movesets. For now I would say it is A+ but it could even go up to S- tier in the future and I wouldn't be surprised.
I would drop this mon down to A personally. It doesn't have all that many options and it's low special defense really leaves it wanting. It has a decent physical movepool and Surging Strikes is a really good move though, and other than it's special defense it's stats are really good, so it is still in A tier, but not A+ in my opinion.
People have gotten used to what this mon can do, and it doesn't have many options, so I would drop it down to A-. It is still really strong and it counters (sometimes literally) a lot of things, but the mons above it have a lot more variability. It is still a great mon though.
While it's movepool isn't that vast, the fact that it can run both a really good stall set and really good offensive sets makes it a good mon. Grassy Glide is ridiculous, and it can counter a lot of mons. I would leave it in A tier.
While at the moment I would keep it in A rank, I could totally see it rise to A+ or even S- if Togekiss was banned. Togekiss and Primarina give Sylveon a lot of competition, but it still has a very good niche and it's ability and bulk makes it super good. I often have to remake teams just because it loses hard to Sylveon, as it counters a lot of mons that other fairies just can't.
This mon doesn't have all that many options, and it's attack stat is lacking, but it's blistering speed allows it to be good. I would personally keep it in A rank, but I personally think it could drop to A-, especially with how bulky the metagame is. It has been rising in usage though, so I can even see it rising to A+. It's hard to say.
I would drop this thing to B+. It has a fair amount of options and it has good stats, but I would say it just isn't as good as the mons in A-. It is still a solid mon though, and its variability makes it at least B+ in my eyes.
This mon should be A- rank at least. It is very bulky and can run both stall and offensive really well. A lot of the counters for those sets don't overlap, and it can even run a set that utilizes stuff from both. Overall it is a very solid mon.
I can see this thing getting better with more experimentation, but for now I would drop it to B+. It is strong for sure, but all it can really do is attack and it isn't the best in this bulky metagame. All the fairies and dragons running around also doesn't help it, along with super effective coverage from mons like Arcanine and Zeraora. It is extremely strong though, and that's why it should not drop that low.
This thing has options, and it can beat a lot of the really good mons in the metagame. I would raise it up to A tier personally.
Honestly this thing is similar to Haxorus in that it has a lot of options and can beat a lot of common mons. I would raise it up to A but I could totally see it going up to A+ if it is experimented with more.
It has a few tricks and it is very strong, but has a lot of hard counters. Still very solid though, so it should stay in A-.
I haven't seen many of these things recently. It is still a good mon though. I haven't used it much but I would probably have it stay in A-.
B
While it has set in stone answers, it is still a solid mon. It deserves to be in B+ tier, though I could see it drop to B in the future.
Since Knock-Off isn't that popular in 1v1, this thing can be super obnoxious. I would say it should stay in B+ or even rise to A-, because it is super hard to break through without preparation. Edit: I don't think this mon should rise, as it is super weak to stuff like trick and taunt, but it is still solid and B+ tier in my opinion.
I have not used this mon much, but it doesn't do all that well against a lot of the common mons, so I would say it should drop to B tier. It is still a solid mon though and I can see it staying in B+.
Similar to Corsola but it can Counter and doesn't have as good of a stalling movepool. I would keep it in B+.
It has options and is extremely strong, but using Hustle really hurts it's consistency. I would keep it where it is.
It has some pretty good options, and the stuff that it is known to use is very solid. I often get stuck teambuildign because I get destroyed by Gardevoir. I would raise it to A-.
I have not used many teams with Hydreigon, but it's speed and movepool make it solid. I would keep it here.
It isn't very versitile, but it can be extremely obnoxious for physical attackers and it has good ability options. I would keep it in B+.
It is solid, but compared to the other eviolite users in B+ it is probably worse. I would drop it down to B, but I dont see it going down much farther than that.
This mon should be at least A-. It has really solid matchups against common mons like Rillaboom and it has one of the best Togekiss matchups, though it can still lose. It should definitely be higher than it is right now.
It's a solid mon, but I personally don't like using it. I would keep it here for now because I don't have much information on it.
I guess I would keep it here because I literally have no teams with this thing in SWSH yet.
Same thing as Slowbro lol.
It is a very solid mon for the same reasons as it's other form. It could rise if Togekiss gets banned or if more anti-fairy measures come up, but for now I think it should stay where it is.
I have not used it but from what I have seen it seems solid, so I would keep it in B+.
It has very good stats, but it's movepool is shallow and it is fairly exploitable. I would still keep it in B because it has some options, mainly being physical or special, but it can also run stall decently well, and it is very strong.
Overall solid mon that can run stall or offensive. I would personally make it B+.
This thing has been phased out. I would drop it to B- but I could see it dropping down even more. A lot of the things it offers other mons can do better. It still has a decent niche though.
It is not very versatile and it is kinda exploitable, but it is still very solid and should stay in B.
Very solid but is not as strong as you would want it to be. It also is not very versitile, but it's niche is still very solid.
It is strong, but it is kinda frail and it doesn't have all that many options. B is a good placement for it.
It has a decent stall set along with its very strong offensive sets, but Hustle being it's main way of doing damage really hurts it. I would keep it in B.
Solid mon with some really good traits but it isn't very versatile. I would keep it where it is.
I haven't played many games with this thing, but it is a very solid mon and I could see it rising to B+.
How is this thing so high? Idk where I would put it but it should not be this high IMO.
I barely see this mon anymore. The metagame really hurts it. I can see it dropping to B- or staying in B but I have not used it in an extremely long time so IDK.
Like every metagame it has ever been apart of it was very common and then dipped in usage. It is still a solid mon but B is a good placement for it.
It's bulk (especially with AV) and power (especially with Choice Band) makes it B+ worthy in my eyes.
It can run Protect Encore or Offensive, and it fits on so many teams, that I think it should rise to B+. It beats a lot of common mons like Magnezone and a lot of Primarinas, so it should probably rise.
Solid mon overall. It can beat a fair amount of important mons with the bulldoze set. I would keep it in B.
It loses to a lot of the most common threats, but Prankster subseed is still very solid. I would keep it where it is.
Still very new and I haven't used it much, but it has good stats and some different options. For now I would keep it in B.
It has some cool matchups but considering it's typing and speed, along with its bad offensive movepool that makes it hardwalled by certain types, B- is a decent place for it.
It's not my type of mon, but it is a cool mon nonetheless. I don't know where I would put it, but B or B- seems fine for it.
It's typing and stalling capabilities makes it very solid, and it beats a lot of relevant mons. I would rise it up to B personally.
It is fine but it is super frail and it isn't the strongest thing in the world. I would keep it in B-, but I can see it going up or down depending on meta shifts.
I don't like using this mon, but I still think B- is a good place for it due to it's good stats, ability, and typing.
I would raise this thing up to B because its really good typing, stats, and abilities (Technician is the best but Swarm can be used). It has very versatile stats and it is very strong. It also has good matchups against a lot of common threats.
I'm not the one to ask about it's placement; I have not used Scyther at all. It seems like a solid mon though, so I suppose B- is fine.
The fairy one has a lot of competition and I have never seen it. It should drop to at least C in my opinion.
I would say Poison is the best Silvally form. B- is a good placement for it due to its versatility and solid matchup spread.
I would raise it up to B, just because it can beat pretty much any choiced mon and it's typing is very solid. Both Band and Torment are very good sets.
Imma stop here. I don't have anything or much to say about most of the C tier mons, and the D tier I really got nothing to say. I might come back to this later, but before I stop I will talk about 1 more mon.
It is C to C+ in my eyes. The closest example I can think of is Gen 2 OU. Snorlax is a very good mon and Kangeskhan is used to be similar to Snorlax. It has a good niche and can beat other mons that Snorlax can't, but is overall worse than Snorlax. Golduck's power and typing gives it different matchups than Aromatisse, but in general Aromatisse is better. Golduck still has a good niche though and is worth using. IDK when it will get ranked or what it will be ranked when it gets ranked (so far it's looking like it will be D) but I must spread my
Golduck Propaganda.
Thanks for reading I guess. I made this because I was bored and felt like talking about the meta. Be safe, and ban Togekiss.
