Hopefully nobody minds but, I just wanted to bring up some underrated stuff that I think could use more love/usage on ladder. And this post is more geared to low ladder players and players that wanna try new stuff.
1. Victini - This mon is a cool nuke that can spam it's STAB, V-Create, pretty easily. I think Heavy-Duty Boots (HDB) is a cool item that pairs well with this mon when used on sun teams due to the fact that sun is already providing that Band power to V-Create. HDB allows the Victini user to switch up moves against tanky mons like physically defensive Toxapex and Flash Fire Heatran. Victini has a wonderful movepool that can help it get past walls, like Bolt Strike for Toxapex, Glaciate for Landorus-T, and U-Turn for momentum; it even has taunt and trick. There's also flexibility in it to go special attacking. A great way to use this mon for sun is in the early game to punch holes for Venusaur to sweep easier. It also has access to Final Gambit to dish out big damage while still providing a way to bring in a sweeper easier.
2. Zapdos-G - I've seen low ladder players try to use this mon then fail and never use it again. This mon is good, you just have to know how to use it correctly. This mon really appreciates having Rillaboom or a knock-off spammer as a partner and hazards to work with. Hippowdon sand + Ferrothorn spikes + leech seed is great way to score some early-game chip on teams, which gives Zap-G a way to start KO'ing mons in the mid to late game. Having a knock off spammer is a great way to force opponents to want to defog the hazards away, allowing Zap-G a way in, as well as a to get a free boost with Defiant. Moreover so, Rillaboom with Knock is great lure for regular Zapdos, forcing it to take rocks damage the next time it comes in, and any chip on Zapdos is great for Zap-G.
3. Tangrowth - This mon is very good, and less-seasoned players need to get on-board with this mon. Trust me, it'll get you sum wins . What makes this mon so great is the ability to pivot so well on so many pokemon and having access to a great movepool to get off necessary chip for your sweepers. It even handles the current top popular physical attackers better than Slowbro (with a couple exceptions like Hawlucha and Weavile).
