Ghost (offensive spinblocker with decent speed)Which Silvally forms are expected to be RU, or at least good in RU?
Granbull is your friend. Probably the closest counter in Stall, loses to SD Gunk Shot thoDoes stall have any way to deal with Pangoro? Choice Band Pangoro is a monster for stall to face. I know espeon outspeeds and ko's with Dazzling Gleam but can't switch in. Anything else to deal with Pangoro?
Specific examples would help here. Sometimes those spreads optimize HP to take minimum damage from hazards or to activate something (think Unburden Slurpuff). Other times, it's just a small amount of speed creep as to outspeed a threat.Why are 240 HP EVs often ran on mons instead of 252? I see it happen quite often and I'm not quite sure what the reasoning is.
I believe doublade runs 240 HP and 16 Spdef EVs so that's an example.Specific examples would help here.

Ok thanks for the info. Its a bit of shame incineroar wont be in ru or at least good in RU until pangoro gets banned, if that even happens, but i'm just happy Snorlax will stay RU most likelySnorlax will probably end up RU after the tier shift, it's a really good Pokémon. Incenaroar is outclassed by pangoro, which doesn't have a stealth rock weakness, has knock off, a better typing which gives it a more spammable STAB, and better coverage options
But then again, once it gets intimidate, it might be strong in RU, Maybe too strong :oOk thanks for the info. Its a bit of shame incineroar wont be in ru or at least good in RU until pangoro gets banned, if that even happens, but i'm just happy Snorlax will stay RU most likely
Incineroar won't be good in RU even with Pangoro banned, and Intimidate would make it niche at best but still meh.Ok thanks for the info.

CB pangoro can (and probably should, although I'm not sure how often) run scrappy on it's CB set, which gives it a super effective superpower against sableye.phys def z move sableye
I would really like to see your reasons for some of these, and I would love to know what you consider an S rank threat if hera is A+ and queen is only A. Snorlax is also generally agreed to be an A+ rank mon, due to how much it sets up on and how dangerous of a setup sweeper it is. I mean it counters like 85% of special attackers in the tier.Donphan: B
Snorlax: B+
Shaymin: A-
Torkoal: B
Dodrio: B
Diancie: A
Chesnaught: A-
Heracross: A+
Honchkrow: A
Nidoqueen: A
Tyrantrum: A-
Flygon: A+
I agree with spookysocialist because heracross is like the best pokemon in tier and snorlax is more dangerous than B+, And nidoqueen would be S for sure, and if you ask me, Donphan would be a solid A- imoCB pangoro can (and probably should, although I'm not sure how often) run scrappy on it's CB set, which gives it a super effective superpower against sableye.

If you look at last months RU stats and look at all mons that have 3,41% usage or more. Those are expected to stay in RU. Of course this months usage will differ slightly so pokemon around that mark might fluctuate a bit and either rise or drop under the benchmark.What pokemon are to be expected to remain in RU and which will drop down to NU? Personally I'm not really seeing Gumshoos staying around for to long, if it even has a nieche here I would like to know.
Amazing, one of the best in the tier. Triage gives it so much momentum with its moves being Draining Kiss, Aromatherapy, Synthesis and Giga DrainHow viable is comfey right now?
I'm thinking it could be quite useful
with its triage ability along with calm mind and taunt.
I feel like it could be used to hurt stall with taunt and revenge
kill threats such as heracross and Kommo-O with draining kiss.
If you're gonna run aromatherapy you might as well just use florges due to its much better bulk. Giga Drain is also pretty worthless on Comfey since it doesnt hit anything at all (grass and fairy resists overlap). Honestly the only good Comfey set is Calm Mind, Taunt, Leech Seed, and Draining Kiss, which makes it function as a neat stallbreaker. Also it's not really that amazing, since its niche relies on stallbreaking and revenge killing stuff like sharpedo, flygon, and scarf heracross. You might as well use florges if you want a defensive fairy-type or gardevoir if you'd like a harder hitter.TheWall can probably expand on it since he's the resident Comfey fetishist and I have never used it myself.Amazing, one of the best in the tier.

Comfey is a cool poke, but you shouldnt overestimate it. Comfey's ability to do well in a game is very match up reliant. One game it can sweep after 1 or 2 Calm Mind boosts, the other game it wont do too much. When playing a game Comfey needs all Poison and Steel types removed or heavily weakened before it can perform more than a revenge kill that is if the opponent doesnt decide to switch. In my experience its best (and only) set is Taunt, Calm Mind, Draining Kiss and Leech Seed/Synthesis. if you need a Heal Bell Cleric i'd advise you to use Florges or another mon like umbreon.If you're gonna run aromatherapy you might as well just use florges due to its much better bulk.
