You do realize fletchling is a rk right? Its main point in the post was to kill victreebel.If we're gonna talk about small birds, look at the Tiny Bird Pokemon:Natu. He can do a lot more than Fletchling, carrying 40/45/45 defenses, with a decent 70 SpA and Spe. Who can set up DualScreens? Natu! Tailwind? NATU! He could be like the best support flying type, but Murkrow exists in this meta so too bad. Fletching can't happen until Murkrow and Natu are gone lol
Pretty sure there are no way you can compare Natu and Fletch to eachother when they do completely different things haha. Natu is is pretty bad anyways, as most SR mons has a STAB to beat it, not to mention that two of the best pokemon in the tier will always beat it 1 on 1 (Murkrow and Buzz). Fletch can get ranked probably around C looking at how much of HO it can KO after SD+SR, but Natu cant really do much more than stop some stallmons, and even on stall (which is not even popular in FU lol) it get beat 1 on 1 by Spdef quill unless you run major offensive investment lol (4 Atk Quilladin Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Natu: 66-78 (23.2 - 27.4%) -- 58.6% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock vs 0 SpA Natu Air Slash vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Quilladin: 84-98 (25.7 - 30%) -- 3.3% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock)If we're gonna talk about small birds, look at the Tiny Bird Pokemon:Natu.

Way to kill my vibe lol, I can see the difference now, guiseYou do realize fletchling is a rk right? Its main point in the post was to kill victreebel.
Stall is already practically unviable in this metagame with prime stallbreakers such as CM Krow, Frax, Kingler, Simisage, Rat, and Viper running around. On top of that, most of the Pokemon found on stall rely so much on Eviolite for their bulk that any team carrying a Pokemon with Knock Off should have no problem muscling through them. Sure Bastiodon and Clops were a great boon to more defensive teams, but dedicated stall teams in general just seem really bad at the moment, and Beeheyem is practically the nail in the coffin. NP Beeheyem, while incredibly scary on paper, doesn't seem too amazing in practice considering how easy it is to check Beeheyem. Specs and offensive LO with like Recover 3 attacks or Sub definitely seem like the best options as a very dangerous hit and run Pokemon. NP would be a great stallbreaker if stall actually existed, but LO already rips bulkier teams apart anyway so I don't really see much of a need for a boosting move.Beheeeyem is going to be an absolute monster for stall to deal with, specs has like a literal single safe switch in with spdef klang, and even then it's 3hko'd by thunderbolt. It has a lot of options too, with nasty plot, trick room and potentially even both, definitely not looking forward to running into it.
Or TR LO 3 attacks over sub/recover could be good, esp for beating non sucker krowStall is already practically unviable in this metagame with prime stallbreakers such as CM Krow, Frax, Kingler, Simisage, Rat, and Viper running around.

There is like no reason to use Furret when Persian does the same thing but is faster, has Tech fake out, Taunt and that NP set lolTo be fair, Farfetch'd has enough power to be on par with FU, so yeah definitely at least D tier.
Furret also deserves to be at least D tier, I mean come on 90 Speed can do something right? Knock Off?
A lil busy atm so I wont post a full reasoning for that, it's just a placeholder.
I believe this is the newest one. Ofcourse some things have been banned/risen by usage but its relativly correctDoes someone have the usage list for this tier? I would love to see it! :3 I guess Simis, Fraxure, Krow, Cuno and Buzz are almost in every single team xD
The problem with this idea is how few defensive pokemon in this tier that are not fodder for SD rat or DD fraxure, two very prominent and extremly powerful wallbreakers which are so easy to fit on teams its stupid.BL5 incoming.
Would be nice to see a defensive/stall team on this, relying on Articuno + Walrein + Hail (Residual damage + Healing from Ice Body). Icy Rock becoming useful as item, perharps?
Also because most of the pokemons there dont deal the high damage at all, therefore causing defensive sets to work better.
Nice metagame BTW,even though I still think PU is already enough lol
I think it was some niche Belly drum set which got it ranked (?)Just out of curiousity, why is Magmar D rank?
I am just wondering because I see decent speed of 93, good spa and maybe acceptable atk and reasonable bulk when it has eviolith and having access to decent coverage with STAB, Focus Blast, Hidden Power and Psychic.
