Hey
Dragapult is definitively S rank. This pokemon is incredible, really versatile and capable of running a multitude of sets capable of disposing of its checks and you really gotta be really wary of all the possibilities. It is just so fast and effective that can easily dictate the pacing of the game on its own since it is also a really efficient pivot too. It is extremely good and easily one step ahead of everything on its current rank even, naturally anti offense and really adaptable versus any playstyle and really splashable on pretty much any playstyle cause of the speedtier + typing (you can easily do some semi-stall with it if you try hard enough tbh). Definitely S Rank, really dominant force in the metagame.
Volcarona and Weavile can definitely rise to A rank. Both great mons that are really threatening, one cause of a busted setup move in quiver dance that can get extremely ugly without a heatran or dragonite so you gotta be extremely wary of it and flame body is always fun, and weavile is a really fast and latent threat that can run SD and has some great coverage to make it really something to consider, stab knock off is always nice and the ice typing offensively really puts a dent on a lot of teams. Some stuff can kind of stop on its tracks but it does liberating to use a mon that is so fast and can pose a threat at any point in the game. Rise Urshifu-Rapid-Strike while at it, very similar in context to these 2. A Rank too!
Cant really say much for the rest of the slate, gotta see them through again, but I will to talk about Terrakion. Terrakion is surprisingly good, but in a weird way. Fighting types that are effective in this metagame are extremely rare right now cause many of the pokemon available on the top ranks naturally check one of the good available ones in Urshifu, but with terrak you have a mon that tanks to its rock typing it can really pose a threat to pretty much all of them. Rock STAB mean none of the natural fight checks that can handle shifu offensively really cant do that here and the overall good speed just below kart (annoying I know) means it can have plenty of opportunity to do its thing.
It is hard to explain cause it is definitely pretty prediction reliant with CB, and SD can be pretty hard to pull off in practice but offensive fighting type neutral to flying, good bulk and ok heatran check that has a STAB move to punish many fight switch-ins plus good speed? pretty good, everything I mention is rather ideal but it does feel better than something like hawlucha or buzzwole or suicune in my eyes. Id raise it to B, anything else just doesnt feel realistic tbh.
Have a nice day everyone.
