Due to the wide range of your opponent's levels, durability plays a larger role in the game. Pokemon that used to be very strong due to their stats and excellent movepool, but had low durability, are ranked lower.
Since turn order is mostly dictated by the Agile and Strong Styles, speed does not play as big of a role as it used to. It only becomes troublesome for Pokemon with extremely low speed who may receive attacks twice in a row or may not be able to attack for two turns in a row.

A bit disappointed there aren't more Pokemon included, but nice information on what is. Appreciate you adding the criteria, so we can work better with what we've got at any time. I'd be amazed if this is ever seen, but it'd be great to have another tier maybe, to see a wider array of mons :) Either way, thanks for this!
