I nominateAvaluggthe king to go fromUR -> C-.For starters, it has ridiculous defensive utility with 95/184. its one of the only mons thats a kyu-b counter and can come in on icium z. Even having it there causes some teams to be wary of it. Even if its weak to rocks it rarely cares. Specs secret sword isn't doing much, eq from lando is doing dirt, and you can actually oko heatran with eq. In addition to being the ultimate Kyu-B counter, it has sturdy! Which means you can get some nice kills with avalanche or recover. It's on you. You wall weavile, which is key, and you win 1v1 vs pex and ferro. You oko the lati twins. It's easy to pressure if given mono special attackers but its great to have in the back. I've even swept teams with avalugg.
As per conformity, here are the replays,
