[Lord Windos]

So, Syrentide is S because its too much of a bulky water with really good offensive options? Metalynx-M, Elextruxo-M, Both Gellins under sun, Crocaner after a Shell Smash, Tracton with a DD or Speed Boost, Prankster Toxic users, The Ghost Brothers, Sableye-M, Jolteon, etc. can all be reasonable checks and counters the aquatic menace, so I don't think its a totally insurmountable threat that deserves the ban-list. There is also Hazards like SR and Spikes for it to languish in, and a good old Roar or Whirl Wind can get it out if it trys to buff its defenses. That, or Taunt it first, which limits what it can do besides Pixilate Hyper Voice, which Steel types can rebuff and counter with a brutal STAB.

While its a bulky threat that can catch team off guard, its still quite possible to check/counter it without having to design your whole team around eliminating just it (Unlike Nucleon, bless its irradiated heart...). I think that it deserves to be A+ at least, borderline at most, in my non-succinct opinion.
