Ferrothorn: A --> A-/B+ Honestly this doesn't do very much. It's a bad hazard setter, being completely unable to threaten really any remover bar Excadrill (who it doesnt exactly enjoy facing either), can't check very much (the only thing that can't harm you is mow, you can kinda check vish with wish support and as discussed you annoy exca, but thats really if for higher ranks), and isn't hard to wear down. Its not even effective V waters as its basically useless if its scald burned. The only thing this has going for it is it kept knock, but its at the expense of gyro being a really subpar move now bc everything is slow. It's nowhere near where it was last gen and its rank doesn't reflect the dip in usefulness its had.
Reuniclus: B --> C+ Why is this so high in a meta with a ton of ghost and dark threats? I rarely see this and haven't been threatened by it all gen, its not worth using over the more offensive psychics, even Xatu brings more to a team. It's a poor wincon that most teams don't struggle with and should drop.
Ditto B- --> C+: Still isn't low enough imo.
Umbreon C --> C-/UR: I haven't seen this used by a competent player on ladder, I can't find any tour usage for it and seriously doubt it has a niche, it lost toxic this gen and is a free switch in for like every fairy. It handles pult and gengar but is setup bait for far too much for this to be meaningful, notably hydra (that you'd expect this to beat as a dark resist).
