Indeed. And maybe the magnitude calcs can reach good numbers too.

Rhyhorn scales to about 1.451 megatons, aka, barely above baseline Low 7-B. You can’t even upscale to Low 7-B+ from that, let alone 7-B.
Unless it got recalced and I didn’t notice, Dugtrio’s calc is High 7-A+, not 6-C.

For second stage 'mons, I believe we use Pupitar's feat, which I remember being calced at around solid 7-B.
Edit: Sorry, meant first stage.

What of legendaries and mythicals?
- 9,015
- 9,231
That's... Difficult (?)
Some have their own feats (like Shaymin who bridged into 6-C if I remember correctly), but others will probably just scale to fully evolve 'mons.

It's not that hard. If they're indeed stronger than non legendaries, their feats will speak for themselves.
- 61,134
- 14,478
Kyogre, reshiram, and regigigas all have high 6-A feats
Lugia has a high 6-B feat
Tornados and thunderous iirc have a 6-B feat
- 9,015
- 9,231
Aside from their status as mythical and legendary (which doesn't necessarily correlate to power, might I add) some might not even scale.
Simply, a good number of legendaries are featless on their own. I disagree with heavy abuse of scaling, so it is difficult to me.
Then again, I'm probably in the minority on that, so you can disregard me ayy.

Okay, if you can find that calc, then 7-B would be valid.
4.1 gigatons is High 7-A+.
- 9,015
- 9,231
Yveltal and Xerneas I believe also have a High 6-A feat from the Ultimate Weapon.
Deoxys should retain 5-B for Delta Episode, which scales to Mega Ray.
- 61,134
- 14,478
Ah, apologies then, high 7-A+
- 15,589
- 10,501
Lugia's feat is onyl 6-B i think and Groudon's High 6-A is still valid
- 9,015
- 9,231
Apologies, seems it was recalced to High 7-C.
They should simply be Low 7-B by upscaling from Rhyhorn.
Edit: Recalc Here
- 5,102

well the more support feats we have, the better
- 61,134
- 14,478
Theres still the 7-A calcs from Defog that they would upscale from
- 9,015
- 9,231
Only if it gets accepted. Remember it was highly controversial last time we tried that.
- 61,134
- 14,478
Bring it up again then now that the standards are changing, theres only a handful of pokemon that learn it naturally and it should logically scale to them as it's a non-damaging move that would be weaker than their offensive moves of the same type
- 9,015
- 9,231
The thing is, I personally wouldn't support without more feats for consistency. Because keep in mind, that's the highest feat that non-fully evolved 'mons have access to. That's 2/3 of the verse scaling to a single move.
It needs more support imo.
- 9,015
- 9,231
Worse. Right now is High 7-C.

Interesting , let us see what the Japanese version says
- 15,589
- 10,501
toppling a mountain is High 7-C but considering it is likely just destroying a mountain it is Low 7-B
- 61,134
- 14,478
I guarantee magnitude will yield higher
- 9,015
- 9,231
If we get at least 4 moves around the same ballpark, I would support 100%.

What is Regigigas’ High 6-A feat?
- 61,134
- 14,478
Hurricane, rain dance, earthquake, hail, sunny day
- 5,102
- 2,538
looking for some random entries if they are worthy:
lanturn: The light it emits is so bright that it can illuminate the sea’s surface from a depth of over three miles.
wishiwashi: When it’s in a jam, its shining eyes attract others of its kind. The light from its eyes is visible almost 25 miles away.
espurr: It has enough psychic energy to blast everything within 300 feet of itself, but it has no control over its power.
whiscash: If WHISCASH goes on a wild rampage, it sets off a quake-like tremor with a radius of over three miles. This POKéMON has the ability to predict real earthquakes. (intimidates pokemon and people felt it too)

Unfortunately, weather moves right now are considered environmental feats that don't scale to general AP. Arceus tried arguing in a thread they should scale, but DT rejected it.
Though Hurricane might be promising.

Well how about “6-B, likely higher” for legendaries, all High 6-A feats are statements but still probably valid, while there’s a good pool of 6-B feats to fall back on too
- 9,015
- 9,231
Not all of them scale to that. Weather Birds, for example, don't have their downscaling from Lugia anymore, as that's from the anime. Moltres has a 6-C feat, tho.
Again, many legendaries are simply featless.
- 61,134
- 14,478
All three birds technically have feats on that level
- 3,557
- 639
- 9,015

Yeah, most likely. I just remember mostly Moltres' ayy.
