S rank Reserved for Pokemon that can easily play a role against a majority of type matchups with ease, meaning it will never be useless in any matchup. These Pokemon need little to no support (which can be easily given) for them to do their job (Both Defensive and Offensive). They are easy to bring in and out, and often with little to no risk (Mostly Defensive). They can fulfill a ton of roles depending on what you need, and they surpass other Pokemon who have the same role. These Pokemon define the metagame.:
Mega Salamence, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Gengar, Mega Mawile, Mega Aggron, Ho-Oh, Arceus, Kyogre, Groudon
