I think you forgot to add Gallade in the role compendium
 
Could Bullet Punch be removed from the compendium? :Hitmonchan: is unranked.
Similarly, :Grookey: (Grassy Glide), :Electivire: (Choice Scarf), :Carbink:, :Dusknoir: (Trick Room), :Hitmonchan: (Bullet Punch/Tanks), :Mawile: (Stealth Rock Defensive), :Corsola-Galar: (Stealth Rock Defensive, Walls), :Meowstic:, :Wigglytuff:, and :Hippopotas: (Weather setters), :Drednaw:(Weather-Oriented), :Stonjourner: (Choice Band) should also be removed since they are all unranked right now.
On the other hand, :Garbodor:, :Sandslash:, :Omastar: :Silvally: (Ghost, Ground) and :Froslass: should also be removed from their roles since they now reside above ZU.
:Lycanroc-Midnight: should also be added for Sucker Punch, :Musharna: should be added for Healing Wish.

To reflect on recent ZU shifts, I compiled a list of updated mons for role compression!
SS ZU Role Compendium

alcremie-caramel-swirl-clover.gif
:sm/sawk:
silvally-poison.gif

The ZU Role Compendium is a visual list of Pokemon in the ZU meta that provide roles and niches for teambuilding. Use this as a source to better understand and build in the meta! The Pokemon here are listed in alphabetical order.
