Resource SV PU Viability Rankings

Sense the tier discussion forum is dead.
Anyone thoughts on :Bellossom:? It recently got banned from zu and there's a pattern of people not using a low tier until its bl and than finding out it's broken (Ru oricorio pom-pom and Gyarados)
To be honest, I never agreed with Bellossom's ban from ZU and I think people just see it as "an annoying element that doesn't bring much to the tier" but honestly it's worse than oricorio-F which i never saw as broken either. From my POV they're the kind of mons that set up a quiver dance or two and then fail to sweep.

Frosmoth w/ hail support is much less susceptible to "anti-cheese" imo. Meanwhile, even in ZU, Oricorio-F's biggest issue is that it can't really setup on anything, and if it does, it will eventually need to hit a hurricane to hope for a 2HKO, since there is no shortage of good water types in the tier.

There's a lotta one-liners in this thread so imma have to teach y'all how to post in here. These are mostly small noms tho based on a personal VR I made.

Rises:
:frosmoth: A -> A+ Our current "tera makes it broken" mon. Some want it banned, with or without snow.
:sandslash-alola: A- -> A/A+ The other top snow sweeper, but still deserving of A-rank otherwise as one of our top hazard controls.
:bruxish: A- -> A It's always been a huge offensive threat, except now there's no more Wo-Chien to stop it.
:virizion: B- -> B/B+ It really benefits from losing pretty much all the mons that rose to NU.
:orthworm: B -> B+/A- It just hard switches into so many relevant mons. And that gives it all the more chances to set up hazards or Coil.
:porygon2: B -> B+ Annoyingly soft checks a lotta stuff with it's high bulk and annoying utility. Yes, I'm looking at you Thunder Wave.
:dipplin: B- -> B/B+ See above.
:thwackey: B- -> B Grassy Terrain is slightly better than before, and you're gonna need this monkey to pull it off.
:hitmonlee: B- -> B Another Grassy Terrain team mon, and it's debatably the best Unburden option we have.
:glastrier: C+ -> B- A solid trade mon, it can also be really hard to switch into without a Milotic on your team.
:coalossal: C -> B- This just feels like a mon that is popular to hate on. Sure it's not at its peak, but the utility, specifically hazard control, is great in the current meta.
:mesprit: C -> C+ I don't support it dropping last update, it can easily be used over Uxie for Healing Wish support or as a more offensive SR setter.
:froslass: C -> B- Spikes are good :P

Drops:
:amoonguss: A -> A- Checks stuff less reliably than we anticipated, and one of it's biggest resists, Pawmot, has Ice Punch for it.
:jolteon: B -> B- Only rose due to a couple hype tour matches, fell from B+ last shift and I think it deserves another fall.
:trevenant: B- -> C Cool in theory with Milotic being a thing, but too meh in practice to usually justify over other stuff.
:grafaiai: B- -> C/C+ Pretty much just used on terrain, and I know I said to raise some terrain mons, this is not one of em.
:arboliva: C -> UR This is the kind of mon that can put in work in a match every blue moon but doesn't have enough going for it to actually justify being ranked.

Most of this doesn't have to do with Snow and I'm impatient, so I'll just update this if it's banned in a couple hours.
