My viability Rankings. The pokemon that are highlighted are subject to change, but i'll probably talk about each one individually
Tier 1: Dominant pokemon with very few bad matchups (kyurem, kartana) or are just extremely splashable and fit on almost every team (rillaboom, fini)
Tier 2: Pokemon that are good but match up poorly against the tier 1 or other tier 2 mons
Tier 3: Pokemon that are a little inconsistent but have a solid niche
Tier 4: Pokemon that i think have potential, but are either just worse versions of other pokemon (scrafty, pelipper) or are just inconsistent (registeel, cresselia, nihilego, spectrier, ect.
Tier 5: Pokemon that are pretty bad rn and match up poorly against a lot of stuff
UR: I either have no idea what these pokemon do (latias, suicune, entei) or they're just garbage (regieleki, dusclops, ect.)
Subject to Change:</p><p>Tapu Fini: Tapu Fini is great. It can wall pretty much every special attacker after a few calm minds and hits incredibly hard, but because of the popularity of rillaboom and kartana, it might drop down a tier. Even kyurem black and zeraora can bea it after it's been chipped
Urshifu R: It's good, but consistently loses to rillaboom, kartana, and fini and has a pretty bad matchup against kingdra and volcanion too. Might move it down a tier depending on where the meta goes from here
Naganadel: Hot take: Naganadel is underrated. Specs naganadel matches up well against a LOT of the current meta, even stuff that probably should beat it. It drops a draco on zygarde and kyube, sludge bomb/waves fini and triple axel tsareena, flamethrower/fire blasts kartana, excadrill (outside of sand) genesect and rillaboom, and can run tbolt to hit stuff like politoed, pelipper, and maybe even kingdra if you don't want to drop a draco on it for some reason. It can be a tailwind support as well because of it's great speed tier, and set up tspikes while it's out (it might actually not get tspikes, i forgot and i don't feel like checking rn). And the things that do beat it (scarf lando, excadrill, dragapult) aren't very popular on ladder from my personal experience. idc if i get shit on for this, naganadel 100% deserves to be tier 2 imo, but everyone seems to hate it for some reason and i just don't get it
Kommo-o: Kommo-o is solid against anything that isn't a fairy type. The problem is, well, fairy types. It's inconsistent, but it has potential. I might move it up a tier, but no higher than tier 3
Cresselia: Honestly cress is pretty inconsistent, but once it gets set up stab stored power is gonna be hittin different. The problem is if your opponent has incin, urshifu rapid or kartana you're fucked. Probably moving down to UR, fini is much more consistent and harder to ignore
Registeel: same thing as cress. it's inconsistent but once it gets set up it's near impossible to remove, but if your opponent brought a crit mon you're fucked. Moving down to UR, just use metagross for a tanky steel type, and just use diancie if you wanna do body press stuff
Tornadus: I've literally never seen this thing on ladder, but it might be good, so it might move up a tier
Entei: Again, literally never seen this thing, but it might move up once i do some research
Also the tiers aren't ordered
Volcanion: I saw actuarily put this is tier 1. I've never really struggled with it, so i wondered why theythought it was tier 1, and then i thought about it. Great bulk, 2 4x resists (and one immunity if you count water absorb), can 1v1 fini in some scenarios because it resists both of it's stabs and doesn't even die to a +4 moonblast iirc, and it also hits hard. get this thing some leftovers and slap it behind a sub and it can be extremely difficult to remove. it honestly doesn't even need tr, it'sbulky enough that it doesn't even matter if you're moving last. I'm not sure if it's tier 1,but it's definitely at the top of tier 2
