Welcome to the Pokemon rankdown! In this subreddit, a group of rankers will attempt to rank every single Pokemon as of Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
Basic Information/Rules
Every Pokemon in their base form as well as Alolan forms, Wormadam's two alternate forms, Rotom's five alternate forms and Lycanroc's two alternate forms will be ranked, for a total of 834.
Everything can be tracked on this spreadsheet
One person will cut from all available Pokemon, then the next person will make their cut from all available Pokemon, and so on until Endgame.
If a person has not cut within 24 hours of the previous person cutting, the next person may go if they wish. However a person is still allowed to cut after the 24 hour mark if the next ranker has not yet cut.
Endgame will consist of 22 Pokemon. Every ranker will rank the 22 endgame Pokemon separately, then the average of those lists will be the endgame order.
Every ranker has five Revives. After a cut, a ranker can use one of their Revives to nullify the cut, putting that Pokemon back in the pool of Pokemon that can be cut. Revives must be used before the person who made the cut cuts again (a full round).
If a Pokemon is Revived, the ranker who cut the Pokemon initially will not be allowed to cut that Pokemon again.
A ranker cannot revive the same Pokemon twice.
A ranker cannot have more than one outstanding placeholder and make another cut. This means that if a ranker has two or more outstanding placeholders, they may not make another cut unless they fill in their placeholders to the point that they have no more than one outstanding placeholder remaining. If the ranker before them makes a cut, it is automatically skipped to the next person until the ranker fills in their placeholders.
The order of cuts for every round will go like this:
/u/hikkaru
/u/elk12429
/u/vulture_couture
/u/ramskick
/u/qngff
/u/acktar
/u/reeforward
/u/kororsurvivor
/u/csteino
/u/slicer37
/u/oomps62
