Add Stunfisk to Fire-type checks. Can switch into most of them, take a hit and can either cripple them with T-Wave, or OHKO them with EP.
 
I'm surprised that there isn't a section for phazers - that's a very important role for certain team archetypes.

Here's a start: Poliwrath, Lickilicky, Grumpig, Avalugg, Zweilious, Munchlax, Vullaby, Quilladin, Leafeon, Flareon.
 
-Dodrio in Baton Pass
-Add another Category for Taunt?
-Another Category for Trappers (Probopass + Pursuit)
-Vibrava in Hazard Control
-Clefairy in Healing Wish

Yes for Taunt users, but at this point make a category named anti-leads and put them there.
I don't think trappers deserve a category because it's too niche, Pawniard doesn't even run Pursuit most of the time, Krokorok is too niche, and Probopass is the only real trapper, though it can only trap Steel-types, which aren't a lot, also Pawniard screws it if it runs Low Kick.

I strongly agree with this. I also think that Vibrava should be placed at the top of the Hazard Control list because it is resistant to stealth rock, unlike every other pokemon listed under Hazard Control.
I think Vibrava should also be placed into Electric Checks because it does such a great job checking Zebstrika. Obviously it's immune to Volt Switch and Thunderbolt, but Overheat and Hidden Power Grass barely do 20% of damage.

Not adding Vibrava yet because it's not C+ rank, if it ever gets there i will add it

Is this a rule for the resource in general, or just for Vibrava specifically? Because, if it's a rule for the resource in general, Wigglytuff is in the same Viability rank as Vibrava (C) and yet Wigglytuff is listed under stealth rock.

Banded Rampardos is unviable, as life orb 4 attacks does a much better job dismantling slower teams with its good coverage and much better survivability.

You know, if it was PU. But it isn't. But if it ever drops, I imagine lead would be viable just like it is in NU. Where it actually is.

You mean Archen, right? A focus sash Archen with Taunt + Rocks + Endeavor wouldn't be the worst thing I guess, although I'm not a fan of suicide leads in general.
