Gen 9 RU is slowly looking like Gen 8 OU rn.
Ttar, Weavile, Blissey, Slowbro all usable in the tier.
The latter three are because of moveset losses bit Ttar dropping due to Gen 9 introducing a billion fighting types, Tusk completely walling CB sets, Gambit outclassing it in everyway, tons of mons with rocks and spikes, a new rock type that is a ghost resist with reliable recovery and better bulk, Ting-Lu walling its STAB combination and being a better ghost resist, the two main ghosts easily threaten Ttar. Fairies everywhere, including Valiant who walls its STAB combination. Ttar is completely outclassed offensively and defensively, oh and it lost Drill its partner in crime. Then UU also has a bunch of fighting types and mons that easily threaten it, including Tinkaton who also walls its STAB combination.
Ttar was good in Gen 8 because it had multiple switch in opportunities and when it got those opportunities, it made progress with CB. The meta in SS was also slower which gave mons like Ttar more value. Not only is Tusk in the tier who walls the shit out of it, you can just run THE BEST POKEMON IN THE TIER a.k.a Gambit and get better results. Also tons of competition with other physical breakers like Bax, Hoopa, and offensive Tusk. Practically no reason to run Ttar rn. It doesn’t check anything nor does it perform any role that couldn’t be done by other mons. Here’s to hoping Drill comes back and Ttar gets moveset buffs that will make it worth using again.
