Making a couple of minor changes
A- -> B so frail and consequentially very difficult to use
A -> A+ really great offensive pokemon
This tier doesn't have much activity, but I would like to argue for Mega-Gyarados to rise. With access to Mold Breaker and Taunt, it is a very effective stall breaker. It can set up on Sableye-Mega, isn't walled by Quagsire, and resists Dark-type attacks to an extent. Aside from Fairy-types --- by which I mean the 2 (3 if DA's Sylveon counts) --- Mega-Gyara can break most members of stall.
Although, its daunting weaknesses such as its Fairy-type weakness, no realistic bulk due to lack of recovery options outside of rest (which effectively nulls its best role as a stall breaker), and low speed.
C- -> C+

It struggles with common Pokemon like Arceus-Grass and Ferrothorn, as well as Fairy-types, is Stealth Rock weak, offers very little defensive synergy, and isn't that bulky or powerful by the tier's standards. Not sure it should really move up.
Appreciate the post tho. Let's play some here and there some time
