★★★★ (Four-star Rank)
These gods are great in the metagame, but have either one noticeable flaw or several minor flaws that hold them back. They may be restricted by limited team options based on typing, predictable sets or an above-average support requirement. However, the positives of four-star gods greatly outweigh the negatives, and given the right setup, they can dominate games. If your opponent does not prepare for these gods, they can often lose unless they skillfully play around them with the options they have.

My opinions on the viability rankings (as 8/9/15)
★★★★
Aegislash: Perfect as it's destroyed by PDon, but is greatly boosted by having great match-ups in a lot of gods
Arceus: Perfect as normal type gives you options in jobs, not mons
Dialga: Maybe higher, but definitely not lower since Steel-Dragon is amazing
Gengar: Highest it could go, as the typing is meh, but the killing power of at least killing a god and/or a couple of followers is great. Destroyed by pursuit
Giratina (O): Giratina has bulk and survivability. Dragon is great and ghost is ok, but this+M-Sableye could be annoying as hell. I'll settle for this for now
Primal Groudon: Raise is please. It's PDon
Kyurem: Either here or three-star, as ice hinders it in terms of predictability, but has a niche in
coverage hitting dragons and ground
Latias: IMO better that Latios, and might raise
Latios: Perfect place, as regular Latios is better that Latias, it's better to keep the strongest options while powering up the weak ones
Lugia: Maybe higher, as it's probably the best staller and gets good healing and field control
Mawile: Probably higher, as fairy and steel are probably the two best types in the game, with moil having access to both types. Can't make a FDS core
Mewtwo-X: Potentially raise, as Psychic-Fighting create both great balance and offense and both types usually use different stats. They have a lot of viable pokemon and have a lot of power
Palkia: Probably should by five-star IMO, as water-dragon allows it access to a lot of pokemon with a lot of rolls, it just is that
it's a penis it can't do defensive
Reshiram: IDK, three-star?
Salamence: Perfect, since 4x weaknesses put a huge strain on team-building as almost all of your pokemon are effected. Kyurem-Black will probably be the biggest problem.
Volcanion: Three-star sounds better, as water- and fire-teams flourish in weather, and PDon's a thing. Without weather, water is severely hurt and fire is screwed
Xerneas: Perfect since options are limited and Xerneas is a one-time sweep, but dragon is common, but so is steel
Yveltal: IDK, five-star?
Zekrom: Three-star, as volt-turn is obvious and defensive electrics are limited. Dragon is dragon
In all:
Aegislash: 4
Arceus: 4
Dialga: 4-5
Gengar: 3-4
Giratina (O): 4
Primal Groudon: 5-ban(~0.000000003%)
Kyurem: 3
Latias: 5 (CM & PDon)
Latios: 4
Lugia: 4-5
Mawile: 5
Mewtwo-X: 4-5
#penis Palkia: 5

Volcanion: 2(unlikely)-3
Xerneas: 4
Yveltat: 5?
