I feel like people have been significantly been disrespectful of this guy. B tier?? Sceptile is complete shit. Toxicroak is easily much better than everything in B+ (why the fuck is Eldeg-ass there??), as well as being better than Primeape and Torterra, while definitely being on par with Lucario and the Gatr. I voted for him to be A+ on the vr, and let me explain why this is ranking is mad disrespectful of him.
Toxicroak @ Air Balloon
Ability: Dry Skin
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Close Combat
- Earthquake / Stone Edge
This is the main set I have been using on it. Air Balloon + Earthquake allows it to 1v1 Unaware clodsire, and many sets of Clodsire are unable to hit it (still can't SD on it tho, Curse Clod exists). Many people think that Lucario is superior to Toxicroak, due to better attack and priority, but if I am being honest Toxicroak has some amazing traits too! STAB Gunk Shot can hit Chesnaught for super-effective damage, while Lucario fails to OHKO it at +2. Furthermore, Chesnaught is actually set-up fodder for Toxicroak, while Lucario just dies to Body Press. Another good point is the Scolipede matchup. Air Balloon Toxicroak can easily tank one hit from Scolipede due to the Earthquake immunity, and does around 55% to Scolipede at +2. If you are running Stone Edge, you just kill it at +2, or kill it after Stealth Rock. (252 Atk Toxicroak Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Scolipede: 210-248 (80.4 - 95%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock). Lucario can not do this, as it has to fear Superpower just dropping it. While it is true that with Stone Edge you do not have Earthquake for Clod, you can definitely use a different teammate versus Clodsire, like Ferrothorn.
vs 
Marowak-Alola is easily a top 3 Pokemon in this metagame, and has very few defensive checks, and even those are quite shaky at it. This is why most people turn to Crawdaunt for a Maro answer (252+ Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Marowak-Alola: 218-260 (83.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock). This is where Toxigoat comes in, thanks to Dry Skin it can absorb Aqua Jet from Crawdaunt and threaten it back with a Close Combat to the face. While it is true that other Pokemon can also take little from Aqua Jet, none of them are even close to being as offensively potent as Toxicroak (well, maybe Cacturne but that guy is kinda :/). Toxicroak also bullies non-Dragon Tail Milotic and unboosted Feraligatr.
Yap over, but yeah this is why Toxicroak is DEFINITELY much better than B tier
though, and I'll probably make my whole own post about that after I get the playoffs matchups done because this mon genuinely provides so much value in every game I bring it to yet I haven't seen anyone else come close to using it lately.
is extremely viable in this tier so I may be a bit biased, but I also think that’s part of the magic of Perfect 35 - if you see your favorite Pokemon on the roster there’s a very good chance it’s going to be viable in the metagame. And if it’s considered Perfect like Archeops is, you don’t even need to wonder - you can take that right to the bank. Snow, via 
, seems to be a viable archetype in this current meta but, with 
being the sole other ice-type Pokemon and one of the only beneficiaries of the weather condition, it‘s neither overbearing in the game nor the builder. 
which, despite not having access to Pain Split like I thought it did, has proven to have longevity in spades regardless. Trick Room, Will-O-Wisp, double STAB was my favorite set to run back when it was legal in main natdex 35 and has been just as fun to use in this format when testing on ladder. Sky-high natural physical bulk, Wandering Spirit to punish contact moves, Wisp to denature physical attacks contact or not, and Trick Room to take advantage of its normally abysmal base 30 speed stat and eek out a couple extra turns of value make 
has made National Dex 35 Pokes history and terastalized into the Ghost Type!
and 
while threatening them in return with super effective STAB. Ice is a type resisted by little in the upper echelons of the meta, and the recent return of physically defensive 
heralds an even better landscape for Articuno to come as the specially defensive variant of the aforementioned steel bird was consistently one of the biggest obstacles to Articuno's chip damage capabilities. Articuno only reaches its full potential though, when it stares into the depths of its movepool to utilize an attack many allegedly sane individuals have repeatedly neglected to view as a viable option: Blizzard. 52 EVs in Special Attack, 252 EVs in HP, and 200 EVs in Special Defense with a Calm nature allows 
to always ohko Jolly Nidoking while still remaining above 50% HP after a flamethrower or thunderbolt. Conveniently, this EV spread also allows Blizzard to almost always 4hko Specially Defensive Corviknight and absolutely always 3hko its evil Physically Defensive twin. :Hippodwon: is not the most commonly seen pokemon right now, but proves to be a thorn in the side of a lot of teams lacking 
to clean up. The main inspiration for this team is the classic TSS (Toxic, Sandstorm, Spikes) teams in ADV OU and this plays similar to those. Against offensive teams this team really shines, it is able to take hits from most common breakers and can beat sweepers with phasing, tricking 
switch in and can also apply pressure with adaptability surf or shadow ball. This mon is probably the weakest "wall" on the team since it lacks recovery outside of leftovers protect but it also has a fairly good offensive presence despite being EVed defensively thanks to adaptability. Surf can be dropped for pain split for a bit more healing but you lose your ability to hit normal types, out side of flip turn, and pain split isn't always reliable.
