26	Palpitoad	UR	C-	C-	C. Should be ranked due to its amazing role compression of checking Magmortar, Omastar, Basculin, Magneton, Kabutops and so on alongisde having access to an Electric-immunity to stop Volt Switch and Stealth Rock.

30	Silvally-Water	Mid	C	C	C-	C. Not stellar, downgrade to Cramorant	C-	C+. Got surprised by a specially offensive set that was quite annoying to deal with	C

38	Boltund	UR	C	UR	C+. what a good boy	C. It's fast	C	C+	C
39	Lickilicky	UR	C	C-	C. good alternative to fat spdef walls that can't be taunted/encored, so it has a better MU vs some stuff like Magmortar, Persian-Alola, Sableye and so on	C+. Stall	C	C+	C
40	Orbeetle	UR	C	C	C	C-. Worse shuckle for all ive seen. Other sets are just plain bad	C+	C+	C
41	Noctowl	UR	C	UR	C+	C. Kind of a neat pick but a little too slow	C-	C	C
42	Cinccino	High	B+	B+	A-	A-. Only held back by its innacc probs	B+	B+	B+
43	Alcremie	Mid	B+	B+	B+	B+. Sweeping sets are easily to support and hard to take down. Typing unique + valuable	B	A-	B+
44	Froslass	Mid	B+	A-. I have been impressed by Band sets.	B+	B+. Fast and all with good set variety, too much competition for A ranks	B+	B+	B+
45	Piloswine	Mid	B+	B+	B+	B-. The lack of recovery and kinda bad typing makes this hard to justify	B+	B	B+
46	Rapidash	Mid	B	B+	B+	B. utility dash is cool but there's signifigantly better fires	B+	B+	B+
47	Shiftry	Mid	B+	B-	B+	B+ for now; need to see more	B+	B+	B+
48	Altaria	Low	B	B+	B+	B. Good at walling Fires and has potential to fit elsewehere for its good typing	A-	A-. Checks the broken fire-types and is hard to wear down, making it powerful versus the very common Qwilfish and Garbodor.	B+
49	Carbink	Low	B+	C	B+	B+. Counters a handful of noteworthy stuff	B+	B	B+
50	Cryogonal	Mid	B	B-	B-	B-. Niche defensive merits, usually for stall, no where near a staple	B-	B	B-
51	Ditto	Mid	B-	B-	B-	B-. Kind of awkard to use as a scarfer, also will fail vs some sweepers like SilvGhost and Frosmoth	C	A-	B-
52	Flapple	Mid	B-	B	B	B-. best is on gterrain and hustle makes u lose games	B-	B-	B-
53	Golbat	Mid	B	B	B-	C+. SR weakness + the mons it checks have knock / super effectv coverage, ez to overwelm	B-	B-	B-
54	Rotom-Frost	Mid	B-	B-	B-	C+. Not the most relevant, some anti-meta perks	B-	B-	B-
55	Thievul	Mid	B	B-	B-	C. Unburden gterrain	C+	B	B-
56	Throh	Mid	B-	B-	B	B. Poliwrath without the water typing.	B-	C+. awkward mixed of Poliwrath and Gurdurr	B-
57	Thwackey	Mid	B-	B-	B	B-. Gterrain is a bit below average	B-	B	B-
58	Swoobat	Mid	B-	C+	B-	B-. Gterrain niche, slower than base 115 underwelming	B-	B	B-
59	Appletun	Low	B+	C+	B-	B- it's not easy to pull off but checks enough stuff to be considered	B-	B-	B-
60	Dugtrio-Alola	Low	B-	UR	B-	B-	B-	C+	B-
61	Jellicent	High	B+	B	B	B. Good tools but can be awkard to fit with better ghosts or waters.	B	B	B
62	Kingler	High	B	B	B+	B-. Meta is not in its favor; if you want a water breaker, go for a faster one at least	B-	B+	B
63	Accelgor	Mid	B	B	B+	B. Awesome Speed but kinda average in what it ends up doing, and will need a lot of building to help it out	B-	B+	B
64	Clawitzer	Mid	B	B?	B	B. It's ok as a breaker.	B	B	B
65	Gourgeist-Small	Mid	B	C+	B	B. Good speed, unreliable coverage	B	B	B
66	Liepard	Mid	B	B-	B	B. Weather	B-	B	B
67	Magneton	Mid	B	B	B	B+. pretty cool typing for an Electric	B-	B+	B
68	Stunfisk-Galar	Mid	B	C+	B	B. Average wall that's an extreme of a great typing + bulk but no recovery and awkward moves usually	B	B	B
69	Type: Null	Mid	B	B	B	B. cool pivot but its passivity makes it hard to justifiy	B-	C+	B
70	Tangela	Low	B	B-	B	B. Regen goes off	B	B-	B
71	Cofagrigus	High	A+	A+	A+	S. Like thee best physical wall with perfect coverage and options to boost, competition with other ghosts isnt that limiting in actuality	S	A+. Could be S in the future	A+
72	Magmortar	High	A+	A	A+	A+. On par with Centi, perfect coverage, noticing its easier to revenge kill / play around, especially with say SilvDragon, but still gr8	A+	A+	A+
73	Silvally-Dragon	High	A+	A+	A	A+. Best vally, awesome sweeping potential, great resistances for balance / HO to rely on for sweeping	A+	A+	A+
74	Silvally-Ghost	High	A+	A+. A demon, especially in screens. Sub has too many opportunities to abuse passive mons (Garbodor w/o haze, Audino, Miltank)	A+	A+. Also best vally, securing the Sub for setup gives it a whole different angle when sweeping compared to its peers. Doesn't invalidated DragVally; they fit on different teams / have varied support	A-	A+	A+
75	Sneasel	High	A+	A+	A+	A+. CB is its best set and that's both hard to play and hard to support right. One or two messups and you lost a wallbreaker / revenge killer; it's also near usless against most good stalls	S	S	A+
76	Uxie	High	A+.	A+	A+	S. The sheer amount of utility and options you get with its set + the fact it fits on legit every playstyle and is one of the best mons there	A+	S	A+
77	Drampa	Mid	B+	B+	B+	A-	A	B+	A- (discord)
78	Clefairy	High	A-	A-	A	A-. Little problematic with its passivity, but obvi great support	A	B+. Too passive imo	A-
79	Cramorant	High	A-	A-	A-	A-. Faster wallbreakrs with good coverage for it are more popular than ever, can fall short as a Water resist while it gets worn down; easier to play around gulp missle	A	A-	A-
80	Ferroseed	High	A-	A-	A	A. beast typing, splashable	A-	A-	A-
81	Kangaskhan	High	A-	A-	A-	A+. The best mon to compress anti-HO with wallbreaking force, you can't go wrong building with Kenga. Fake Out + Sucker Punch is a godsend when you face a sweeper you weren't expecting, or the raw power of Fake Out + Edge also helps with getting walls out of the picture	B+	A	A-
82	Lycanroc	High	B+	A-	A-	A-. Lot of great offensive qualities for a typing that gives it a lot of flaws defensively; also doesn't see that much use	A-	A-	A-
83	Silvally-Dark	High	A-	A-	A-	B+. Competes a bit too much with better vallies, and being a fast strong Dark-type isn't exactly that rare atm.	A-	A-	A-
84	Wishiwashi	High	A-	B+	A-	A. The mixed bulk and support is only comparable with Uxie, but Wishi does better with RestTalk and its typing, don't discount how strong it is either with just an uninvested Scald	A	A-	A-
85	Skuntank	High	A-	B+	A	A-. Anti-meta typing and stallbreaking, outspeeds Magmotor, but not perfect at its role	A-	A-	A-
86	Frosmoth	Mid	A-	A-	A-	A-. Always noteworthy and a sweeper you need to build checks for	A-	A	A-
87	Gurdurr	Mid	A-	B+	A-	A-. Does well for its roles but it's not the hardest to stop nor outboost by a lot of better mons	A	A-	A-
88	Palossand	Mid	A-	A	A	A. Wow this thing is bulky	A-	A-	A-
89	Rotom-Fan	Mid	A-	B	A-	A-. Does so much with just a little, its resistances and coverage makes it always pull its weight	B+	A	A-
90	Sawk	Mid	A-	A-	B+	A. Hear me out, this is the new dominating Fighting-type, and it's pretty much just as good as a scarfer as gallade was.	B+	A-	A-
91	Silvally-Ground	Mid	A-	B+	A-	A-. A ground this fast has ample revenge kill oppertunities and provides a Volt Switch immunity that's super good for your own VoltTurn teams	B+	A-	A-
92	Vanilluxe	Mid	A-	A-	A-	A-. Very hard to stop, Ice resists commonly being Water-types is adventagous. Lets in sneasel tho without flash cannon so f	A-	B+. Fires are too proeminent atm	A-
93	Audino	Low	A-	A-	A-	A. Stall staple. Stall is top-meta. Make it A. Stalls would have to go out on arms and legs to find replacements for all Audino does for it; even some balances do fine with it.	A-	B+	A-
94	Pyukumuku	Low	A-	A-	B+	A. Stall staple. Stall is good. Unaware is near-esential, this mon will always be used there and way better than more average stall picks	A	B+	A-
95	Basculin	High	A-. Water immunities and resists are p common	A.	A-. I dont see this in A with how common Poliwrath is	A. Could be lower if meta favors more prep for it but still v centralizing	A	A	A
96	Centiskorch	High	A. Definitely good, think teams prep for it more and aren't as weak to it nowadays	A+	A	A+. Perfect coverage, easy to fit, destroys defensive cores + stall with a helping hand	A	A+	A
97	Garbodor	High	A	A	A+	A+. It's bulk, neccesity to have a grounded poison, and emergency check when u need to make a trade with physical attackers makes it a go-to anywhere.	A-	A	A
98	Miltank	High	A+	A	A+	A+. Thing walls most of the meta by itself, also the fact that it fits SR and / or Heal Bell makes it phenomenal	A	A	A
99	Persian-Alola	High	A+	A	A+	A. Typing + coverage makes it vulnerable to a ton, no shortage of defensive pivots to use instead of this	A	A	A
100	Poliwrath	High	A	A-	A	A. Great wall for a lot of top tiers, cool offensive sets if you wanted to try em.	A	A	A
