Disagree with the pykumuku nom. Pykumuku is a really cool pokemon with access to unaware and inwards out. On paper the mon looks great but in play it is dealt with pretty easily. It has no real way to do with status out side of support and most teams that afford that support with pykumuku is stall which is what used to get high ladder ,but stall hates mega gar and this mon lets m gar to come in for free unless rocks are up and even if rocks are up it still can come in multiple times. This is also walled by rest users. Main rest user in the tier is Pdon which if rest makes it useless. Its Z-Purify BP SET is not completely but almost completely out classed by other baton pass users i will mainly mention smeargle it does pass defenses and has better bulk and could afford to switch in and out pokemon get moves like that yes it means they have to take more damage but it will save them a team slot instead of running pykumuku using Z-Purify means taking up a z crystal. Also must mention taunt kills it lol., as i mentioned M gar there is also Defensive and most lo sets of Yvetal and others.
Here are some calcs,
252+ Atk Life Orb Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 214-253 (68.1 - 80.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 196-231 (62.4 - 73.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Necrozma-Ultra Light That Burns the Sky vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 237-279 (75.4 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252 Atk Necrozma-Ultra Photon Geyser vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 237-279 (75.4 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+2 252 Atk Necrozma-Dusk-Mane Searing Sunraze Smash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 225-265 (71.6 - 84.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
And what thimo said about Clefable being better I totally agree.
Keep it at D.
I have my first nom and its waterceus dropping from A- to B+,
1. Walled by some of the best pokemon in the tier for example P don ( https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-739436417 ) If it was toxic and Pdon wasn't rest it would have poisoned don but other mons can deal with toxic like ferro Chansey and Blissey wall the defensive set which is the one that is mainly used and most teams have atleast one of these or something else for it.
2. Sd is not outclassed in a sense but normally there are better options Like arc, Arc ground, U necro, Necro dusk mane,M-Ray (if on webs or u can afford it), Marshadow, DD users (mainly Mega ray and partial Zygarde-C), and Pogre Does its job better in most cases. This pokemon cant get past ferrothorn unless sub and if ur sub you sacrifice priority or your form of hitting certain pokemon in stone edge both of these tho are affordable to remove for eq because on certain teams u can chip yvetal for liquidation and eq helps it alot. (Marshadow also threatens it with spectral if u predict an sd or if marsh 2 hit kos everything left on your team and u have no free sacks assuming its sash or your chipped because water z does 252 Atk Arceus-Water Liquidation vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Marshadow: 157-186 (48.9 - 57.9%) -- 95.7% chance to 2HKO unboosted and if its splash plate it does less and if its used z 252 Atk Arceus-Water Liquidation vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Marshadow: 157-186 (48.9 - 57.9%) -- 95.7% chance to 2HKO .)
3. Cm is a horrible set imo (also i know that this is not a set i just wanted to bring it up). It lacks what other arc that use cm have. Arc steel cant be poisoned and can afford another move because of that like earth power (for pokemon like don) or thunder (for pokemon like celesteela) arc fairy can beat cm darceus and is a xern with less coverage but multiple times to set up and darceus has a solid type that with a few cms it can beat arc fairy unless crit on the right turns also i must mention all the pokemon have stabs that pokemon are not immune to, primal don is immune to judgement. This pokemon is not a solid cm user but all of us already know this just wanted to talk about it.
Its defensive set is walled by alot and its offensive set is something most people would would would use another mon and this pokemon is horrible as a cm user due to it either having the possibility to be statused and chansey or blissey if confine removes set up and if its not refresh it gets poisoned or in rare cases paraed.
I'm sure this is not solid at all for a nom and alot of my points are trash and i failed to explain things just blame that on it being my first nom LOL
