B+
Manectric (Mega) [Move to B. Speaking from personal experience, Mega Manectric is incredibly average and subpar. As an offensive attacker, it looks threatening, but it just can't back it up. Intimidate + high speed is great, and the Volt Switch is so good, but it suffers from really having nothing more than that. Overheat causes draw backs, Flamethrower is too weak, Hidden Power Ice is its only other coverage, etc. It does absolutely nothing against stall bar the occasional solid pivot, and it does well versus offense, but it's so mathcup based... And its opportunity cost is so high! Raikou has similar power, for example, and you get another Mega Evolution. It only fits specific cores, and the teambuilding with it is so specific that I don't think it should be B+. All these flaws make it a B Rank Pokemon, a very solid one, however.]
Beedrill (Mega) [Move to B. Coil + Gunk Shot no more. You only have to choose from Coil / Gunk Shot, or I mean Toxic Spikes / U-Turn is solid, but it's just kinda... meh. I don't really think I'm a fan of this one; however, I do see the merit in B+ if more people want it there.]
B
Togekiss [Is this worth B? I'm curious... Seems so nerfed. But then again, experience is more needed!]
Mew [Move to B+! This thing is so good! I love Mew! It's a great asset to every team it's on, it almost always fulfills its role unless a Mega Sableye is being used, and it has a nice defensive typing (bar Dark-type weakness) and should definitely be placed a rank higher.]
B-
Metagross [What does this have over Scizor? Outclassed as a Shift Gear user, defensive, Pursuit; the only viable option I can think of is Assault Vest and that doesn't seem in high demand honestly... But then again, I've only faced it once and I've not built a team with it. Would someone care to explain? I plan on building around it soon!]
Heliolisk [Seems subpar. I'd move it down a rank because it just... Doesn't sound good to me. Theorymon, of course, so I'll be testing this one. Has anyone used this? I am intrigued by it, but then again I am not sure~!]
Goodra [Goodra? Never seen this. Not in all of my time of STABmons. Of course that doesn't mean it is bad, but I would think I would've seen at least one, no? What does it do? Why am I using it?]
A few of my thoughts, though I need to use them more before I really speak aha... Hoping somebody will refute my points! ^.^
Otherwise, great job DreMZ :} <3.
i actually agree with every one of these. barring the few "nitpicks"
i agree that manectric is subpar and meh...im actually shocked its not UU/BL tbh, intimidate plus its speed is really good, but from my experience its just so subpar and actually kinda underwhelming, physical hits STILL dent it, and it just doesnt deal enough damage to be worth being ranked B+. also dont even mention electrify. its not worth a valuable moveslot.
edit: i should also point out, that this all also comes to play considering its a mega slot your giving up too.
beedrill is a odd case tbh, i feel like a lot of people have yet to see what it can do, it threatens so many switchins, that in almost every meta, it is more then capable of setting up tspikes on a predicted protect/u-turn, i cant tell you how many people overpredict out of fear with beedrill, and now that it has a 120 base power move to help threaten stuff? yeah, i can see why its B+. toxic spikes is actually a HUGE asset to offensive teams, and volturn in particular LOVES the ability to help weaken the counters/soften up the opposition. its one of those "risk/reward" scenarios, except one that bee wins 99% of the time just because of the sheer damage output it brings. sure, there might be a lot of priority in the meta, but beedrill only needs to be able to scare one pokemon to be able to put in CRAZY work. and in every meta ive used it in (including stabmons) its incredibly threatening. it also helps that beedrils "volt" partner usually handles like...every defogger in the meta. all in all, i feel like beedrill CAN be B+ worthy, but even just B sounds good.
togekiss: honestly. i think people kinda underestimate it now that it no longer gets geo/wing. are we not forgetting toge is like...the best cleric typing wise, capable of nasty plotting, and paraflinching...ON THE SAME SET? and this isnt even taking account to the OTHER possibilities it can have, moonblast, oblivion wing,geomancy if you are crazy, defog, tailwind, hurricane (ayy, paraflinchfusion), aeroblast (50% crit rate with super luck lelellel), toge is still a very threatening poke, and although it misses geo, i think its more...consistant annoyance with paraflinch is actually a lot scarier then geo. imo. id say the classic set of twave, nasty plot, air slash, and roost is probably worth B alone. its typing makes it incredibly hard to beat, especially with so many of its checks and counters being significantly weaker. and if it wants, it can forgo nasty plot/roost to deal with special attackers with moonblast. on a side note, back when geo wasn't popular, i actually used a AV set with moonblast and oblivion wing, and it actually was pretty decent. incredibly bulky, strong, and reliable recovery.
Mew...ive never seen or tried it out myself. its stallbreaker set sounds scary...walled by sableye...but otherwise good. same with its support set. potentially its offensive sets could be decent, gaining psystrike, psychoboost, and whatnot.
id actually rank it lower then B-, scizor/rachi is just...so much better. and meta doesnt...really stand out. ive always wanted to use meta, but like...what can it do that scizor/jirachi cant do better?
i guess it gets boomburst? shell smash maybe? honestly, it sounds pretty underwhelming. boomburst might just carry it up to B- tho
g-wait, who uses goodra? i guess it gets spacial rend...so it can rely on draco a bit less. its still an amazing tank and grass counter. so i guess B- COULD be okay. especially when it counters thundy with AV...actually...after looking at these calcs...
+2 252 SpA Thundurus Oblivion Wing vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 120-142 (31.4 - 37.2%) -- 84.3% chance to 3HKO
252+ SpA Goodra Spacial Rend vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Thundurus: 193-228 (64.5 - 76.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
i think goodra is better then i give it credit for.
