For the sake of giving you a break from all these UR nominations
Gliscor A >>> A+
I cannot be the only one that is completely flabbergasted by the phenomenon that Gliscor is right now. Even though it was used less in the 3rd week of Snake compared to the first couple of weeks, Gliscor is as of now still the most used Pokemon throughout Snake, a testament to how splashable and effective it currently is. It has quickly and massively popularized hazard stacking balance builds with its incredibly utile specially defensive Sword's Dance set, which provides terrifying lategame sweeping capabilities while shutting down Heatran, Toxapex and a plethora of other both offensive and passive threats thoughout a match by simply outlasting them. A simple team composition of Gliscor + Mega Latias + Ferrothorn + Clefable is arguably the best balance structure right now, since it's extremely hard to wear down, while it in turn effortlessly wears down a majority of teams through hazard stacking. Gliscor is a key element to the success of these teams, since it forces a lot of switches. Simply put, Gliscor is too good to be A right now.
Other Pokemon that really deserve a rise:
Mega Latias A >>> A+ [Has been the best Psychic type in Tour for a while, definitely more relevant than Mega Zam]
Clefable A- >>> A [Is the premier Rocker in a lot of structures right now with lots of additional utility, while just being very difficult to break]
