Welcome. This thread is meant to provide a visual list of what Pokemon fit for what roles in the VGC 15 metagame. This will help players on all levels in finding Pokemon that can suit certain roles for their team, and also maybe help them discover a Pokemon they didn't know could fit that role. Pokemon listed here are only the Pokemon I find viable enough in VGC to deserve a spot on a team, even though some are very niche, they can be justified as a good pick in certain teams (the only exception for this are the Mega Pokemon, I just listed them all). I have probably forgotten a ton of things in this list, so suggestions are welcome. I do however reserve the right to deny including suggestions because I find the Pokemon to be too bad in VGC to deserve a mention. This means that although Raticate gets Quick Attack, I won't list it in the priority section because Raticate is not at all good in VGC.
