Resource BSS Regulation G Viability Rankings Archive

[Psynergy]

Welcome to the SV Battle Stadium Singles Viability Rankings. Regulation G ended on April 30th 2025, so this thread will serve as an archive for the Regulation G VR while the while the active thread focuses on the current regulation. This is where we ended up on Regulation G before the meta transition, if any changes are made during this time they will be reflected on the main thread when we switch back in January. This thread won't be actively updated but if you look back here in the future and see that maybe we were off-base with some placements, feel free to comment! Otherwise this list is mostly here for archival purposes.
