Arguably the best spiker in the tier. And SD + 3 attacks (Blades, Edge, and Heat Crash) eviscerates fat teams like no one’s business
Swords dance isnt really a set nowadays, but rather its very high defense allows it to check koraidon zacian while also providing status support with wisp / thunder wave and spikes. for crushing fat teams we already have plenty of things that do (EX: Life orb koraidon, lorb eternatus, cm ogre, etc)
The meta switched from wisp spam into twave spam that frees up Groudon a lot in all sets
Chien-Pao B- to B rank - Really good against slower teams that try to take advantage of the meta. Chien-Pao's ability + typing allows for it to poke holes in teams without spending tera. Often times, it can get the opposing player to spend their tera or force double switches. I think Chien-Pao is great for progress making.
Dondozo C+ to B- rank - A pokemon that can help to defensively check Koraidon and Zacian-C shouldn't be ranked so low. It's passive, yes, but it is good at disrupting progress for physical attackers. Probably one of the best physical walls in the game, it should go up in ranks to reflect that.
