Smogon players:--> B-. I actually really like Cloyster in the meta.... Shell Smash + King's Rock is a really annoying and, at the same time, really fun gimmick.
Also, Scizor should rise
bulky sets don't die and sometimes your opponent just make the big oops of letting it get +4 and they lose. I think LO + Superpower sets merit more use, both for sweeping power, and bopping common switchins to death with Superpower
Kyurem should rise
Another good scarf user in the scarf wars, but it's the pressure stalling sets that need the attention. Things is absolutely broken in those kyurem/taunt Tornadus/spikes teams.
--> A. Will I get flack for this? I hope not. But 2 of the biggest threats in the OU force it to switch in Urshifu and Weavile and it really even struggles vs top utility like Tapu Fini. Is it still very solid? Yes., But it probably no longer deserves that cusp of the S rank.
>S-: just look at WCoP replays. Triple Axel is a busted move and weav takes full advantage of that. Adamant SD just wins games. While it doesn't switch in on much, when it gets in it just claims kills or removes valuable items. Not to mention that weavile is often just one SD away from sweeping your team. It's far and away the best Pokémon in A+ and I feel it should rise to reflect its place in the current metagame
> S-: Spdef Lando, Gking over regular slowking, and especially weavile make spamming shadow ball more difficult. This mon is still good and can still melt through some team structures, but they're less common nowadays and pult is a lot more manageable than 2 months ago when ppl thought it was busted. Still a top tier threat, but I don't think it's full S tier anymore
> A-: I love this mon but it's just meh rn. Can't switch in on anything really, and usually has to spam Knock Off until the Lando is dead. It can still threaten teams with its BU set, but it's not sweeping as often and it's pivot set is pretty mediocre at the moment. Not much more to say, koko is better
> A+: speaking of koko, this mon is really good rn. Being a special attacker means it can actually switch in on water types and despite only a 95 base special attack, it's sneaky strong thanks to terrain. U turn means it's not stopped by Lando, and Fairy STAB means garchomp can't switch in will nilly. When it's wearing its boots + Roost it stays alive all game. On top of this, late game koko is a pain to deal with as it's probably outlasted it's checks. Oh, and CM exists, which is pretty good and you should try it
> A+: I still think kart is one of the best breakers in the tier and all it takes is one kill and checks no longer become checks thanks to beast boost. Band and SD are both scary to face and kart makes fat teams sad. Torn being everywhere kinda hurts it but I still think kart is probably the best mon in A (not counting any others I list for rises) and fits better in A+ 
> A+: speaking of torn this thing should go back to A+. It's an excellent defogger, shuts certain structures down with taunt, and pivots on everything. Weavile running adamant helps it as it can now outspeed and U turn for good chip and avoids the unboosted OHKO. Heat Wave makes ferro, kart, and corv sad and hurricane hits decently hard and confusion is always nice. Like the above mons, I think it's a better fit in A+
> A-: this mon is bad. Bulky DD sets are serviceable when paired with mag, but it's very inconsistent and the defensive set is a complete momentum sink. It doesn't sweep very often and it hates the rise of fini and weav with a passion. On top of this it needs Jolly to outspeed koko and pult at +1 and it rarely sweeps nowadays. It's still a decent Tran, volc, and shifu switchin with its bulky DD set so it's not completely useless, but it's definitely below the mons in A rn
> A: not 100% sold on this but it's one of the few mons able to check basically every physical attacker in the tier without getting murked by weavile (not counting aerial ace!!) And still hits hard if you're not using the shitty BU set. It's a decent glue for BO teams that's not a total momentum sink and can completely wall some badly built tea you'll see spammed on the ladder. Definitely at the top of A- and probably up there with the mons in A
> A-: meta trends favor it rn as it's a hard stop to things like Garchomp, Lando, Urshifu, and others, and if you run some heat like Colber Berry Body Press Weavile dies. Futureport isn't as strong as it used to be but slowbro can still pivot well and set up FS against a lot of things. It's being spammed pretty hard in OLT for a reason and I think it's due for a rise. 
To A- 
, and :blacephon: nominations: 
To A- 
To C+ 
To B- 
: C+ -> UR
to B+: 
> A+: The utility and offensive traits Tapu Fini has is great the ability to be able to check Urshifu-R, Weavile, Dragapult, and Heatran are all good things with its great typing and ability in Misty Terrain in blocking status moves to support its allies. The wide variety of sets it has like Calm Mind as a dangerous wincondition, Choice Scarf for speed control, and trapper with Whirlpool meaning that Tapu Fini can provides bunch of sets depending on the team.
> B+: While not on the same level as Dragapult many teams just drop to this shown from WCOP without any proper switchin, Mandibuzz gets cooked by Overheat, while Blissey dislikes getting Tricked while Blacephalon benefits receiving the Boots in cost for power. In more offensive teams there’s also the more niche SubCM set which has its own merit, but not in the same threat level as Choice Specs.
, jokes aside Cloyster a major threat especially since most of its defensive switchins just get flinched to death by luck even when you try revenging it with priority as even an Ice Shard can do a simple flinch, at the end of the day games are decided if you get flinched or not, and this thing is hard switching into if your resist are weakened or just get hax to death and easily better than majority of the things in C tier.
>C-
> A: this mon is really overrated and it’s still in an awkward spot it has some merits occasionally with its utility and still being a decent offensive threat but I’m more concerned about Kartana than Rillaboom which is a lot easier to handle.
> B+: While Hydreigon itself is kinda awkward and hates the ever rising presence of Tapu Fini and Weavile, but outside of that you have a decent breaker and some nice defensive traits in being able to check like the rising blacephalon, heatran, Toxapex, and Dragapult( you force mind games on it) while you do hate getting status you still able to check what you need to have roost to fend off or having cleric support which synergies well with it.
> C+: Rain has been picking up from OLT and has proven to be a dangerous archetypes that can overwhelm teams with water resist get overwhelmed while electric immunities dislike the rain in keeping the electric types commonly seen in those teams, and checking the likes of things that give rain a struggle like Dragon-types are kept in check by Clefable who has been occasionally seen in some rain teams.
