Tier Lists and New Move (Rumour)
It's been a while since Gen 3 has been launched. Isn't it time for updating the attacker and defender tier list? Or the editors are waiting for Gen 3 to be fully released.
Another thing, I've heard that Wing Attack Dragonite is coming to the game. Is it true? If it is, which move is it replacing? How good is it going to be?

At least on the defender side, Gamepress decided to do a general meta analysis, rather than a tier list. I think that was a good idea, and I hope they do the same thing with attackers. With the wide range of typing and varying attacking needs (raid specialists, gym specialists, gym-clearing generalists), it doesn't make sense to say, for example, T-tar is better than Dragonite, or Exeggutor is better than Gengar.
Yeah, rankings are most useful when talking about specific defenders or raid bosses. General ranking lists kind of started feeling out of place after the change in type advantage and STAB multipliers, and might have been pushed out even further by weather. With so many common gym defenders, especially normal types, there could still be an argument for a generalist/gym attacker ranking.
