Throh has better defenses (and better att but only a tiny amount) thanks to it's higher hp, and it has knock off. Poli has better spatt and a water typing, so poli can wall things like sneasel and carracosta better or go offensive with a specs/rain dance set. But throh definitely is s rank thanks to it's better stats that help it better wall neutral attacks, and it doesn't have weaknesses to grass and electric, so it can take a hit from things like raichu.Why is Throh S-Rank, doesn't Poliwarath completely outclass it?

He is saying that every time Pawniard comes in, after you've set webs, it gets a free Swords Dance. Having priority to patch up the speed drop as well as being at +2 when forcing a switch is defenetly a blow for webs.Pawniard is a good defiant mon for webs, I'd argue that it made them better, not worse. It can boost on defogs, has mediocre speed to patch up, and does well against most levitating mons (dodrio, chatot, missy, haunter, etc). Certainly a good option over purugly.
I know, but I'd argue that it's good enough on webs to make up how good it is against websHe is saying that every time Pawniard comes in, after you've set webs, it gets a free Swords Dance.

banned it. check here for more infoWhat happened to Chatter?
Staravia is a terrible pokemon, outclassed offensively by the likes of Dodrio, and has nothing to offer if defensive ( Eviolite Defensive doesn't make everything good )Agreeing with people who raise Servine from C+ to the B rank.
Leaf Storm Contrary is an extremely big threat to many strong pokemon up there, including Poliwrath.
It reaches strong bulk with Eviolite and with its high speed to assist its sweeping, it really does deserve more than a "niche."
Should Staravia be raised from Unlisted to D or C rank? It's decently strong with Reckless and can assist teams with Intimidate.
My first game using Servine: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-217672433 where Servine easily does a quick sweep and takes an Articuno Ice beam.
Excuse my rating... Using my new account.
Just curious what lead to the Cleafairy drop.. not that at matters too much, im just interested to know. ThanksUpdate time!

If you disagree with any of the D rank NFE's that were removed, keep in mind that not only do these Pokemon have to be useful, but there also has to be a reason to use them over other similar options, and also that they're justifiable to use a teamslot on.
That may seem usable, but there is no reason to use this over leafeon. Leafeon is slightly stronger, much more physically bulky, and importantly has speed, which is important for outspeeding pokes like non-scarf rotom and heatmor who can other wise revenge kill carnavine. Secondly, choice band isnt even leafeons best set, as it can make use of its bulk and utilise swords dance, letting it sweep, and most of those moves carnivine has are horrible to be locked into, there are tons of grass resists in the tier, and bug bite is just weak (leafeon gets x-scissor)E Rank eh? I found something that can help it, I think this set should be about D- Rank because it gets outclassed
Remember Me ;; (Carnivine) @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Power Whip
- Bug Bite
- Return
This might seem wierd but this thing has a piss poor Physical Move Set and i thought this would make the most of Stab Banded Power Whip.
100 Base attack in PU isn't terrible. 252+ Atk Choice Band Carnivine Power Whip vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Poliwrath: 402-474 (104.6 - 123.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO, 252+ Atk Choice Band Carnivine Return vs. 248 HP / 4 Def Ninetales: 192-227 (55 - 65%) -- guaranteed 2HKO, 252+ Atk Choice Band Carnivine Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 240 Def Eviolite Misdreavus: 212-250 (65.4 - 77.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
carnivine does have an advantage over leafeon in sleep powder, but there is still no reason to use it over Jumpluff or Victreebel.That may seem usable, but there is no reason to use this over leafeon.
