Hello, got a couple bad boys i wanna nom today : )
  Swampert UR --> Tier 3
[/HIDE=reasoning]I've been really liking support swampert as of late, being able to shut down Thundurus and checking ground & fires types while providing support in Wide Guard and Icy Wind gives it a solid niche imo, it pairs well Zard/Gene/Grasses and anything that appreciates wide guard. While it is passive to an extent & team specific it serves as a nice bulky backbone and support for offense
(Swampert) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Damp
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Earth Power
- Icy Wind
- Wide Guard
Spread and couple of examples of the bulk it possesses :B
252 Atk Life Orb Terrakion Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Swampert: 214-253 (52.9 - 62.6%) Lives two w/ sitrus
+1 252 Atk Tough Claws Charizard-Mega-X Dragon Claw vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Swampert: 214-253 (52.9 - 62.6%) - Lives two hits w/ sitrus
252 SpA Life Orb Latios Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 100 SpD Swampert: 270-320 (66.8 - 79.2%) -- Lives the second -2 draco w/ sitrus
252+ SpA Life Orb Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 100 SpD Swampert: 289-341 (71.5 - 84.4%) Very small chance of it being 2hko'd[/HIDE]
 Darkrai UR --> Tier 3 (potentially 2?)
[hide=reasoning] Honestly surprised to not see Darkrai ranked at all, with it being able to outspeed most of the unboosted meta + being able to OHKO/2HKO a good portion of it through it's coverage and stab (See: Lati, Thundy, Terrak, Kyub , every other fighting weak)
Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, and Focus Blast give it near unresisted coverage although Tbolt is an option as well
Sure Focus Blast's reliability is lol but even then you could just run Fightinium Z and not worry about it c:
252 SpA Darkrai All-Out Pummeling (190 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Kyurem-Black: 464-548 (102.2 - 120.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
although that makes it's other options not able to OHKO shit like lati + thundy it's still smth to consider.[/HIDE]

Birbs UR --> 3
[hide=reasoning] I nom both of them bc i feel like they're only
