Ant thought it would be best to make this, so here is basically the summary. Tbh, it's basically my blog but condensed immensely.

Magikarp, Feebas, singular Wishiwashi, and Wimpod are 10-C. They're sub-human, though Magikarp has High 8-C durability.
Baby Pokemon (excluding Magby, Elekid, Smoochum, Riolu, and Munchlax) via being babies, but still very superhuman.
First form Pokemon, cocoon Pokemon, second form of normal baby Pokemon and first forms of the aforementioned baby Pokemon, and Pikachu clones are Large Building level+ due to being easily being able to kill a Magikarp. Many electric types have the power of Building level+, like Pikachu itself.
Kriketune, Dustox, Beautifly, and Vivillon are City Block+. Above first form Pokemon but below second form Pokemon. So smack dab in the middle. They're early game bug Pokemon.
Second form Pokemon, fully evolved or otherwise (with few exceptions), [previously] standalone Pokemon, final forms of baby Pokemon (except Snorlax, Lucario, Magmortar, and Electivire), and Butterfree, Beedrill , and Mareanie are MCB+. They're scaled to the feats of Magneton, Dugtrio, Magcargo, and Onix(?). They're also scaled to the moves Earth Power, Twister, and Hurricane, which we agreed would apply to the second forms, otherwise Pidgey would be MCB+ and we'd be back to square one.
Fossils except for Aerodactyl are Small Town due to the feat of Rampardos. If Rampardos' feat becomes debunked, they go to Aerodactyl's level.
Third form Pokemon (including Electivire and Magmortar), and some second form and standalone Pokemon are Town level, likely City level. Since that "some" is quite controversial and uncertain, I shall name these ones. To be clear, the only way those non-third-form-Pokemon are of this stage are if they can Mega Evolve (Too many to name. Examples would be Kangaskhan and Houndoom), are incredibly rare and powerful (Arcanine, Snorlax, Spiritomb, Vespiquen, Rotom, and Zoroark), evolutions of previously standalone Pokemon (Lickilicky, Weavile, Honchkrow, Mismagius, Yanmega, Gliscor, Tangrowth, Ambipom, and Probopass), have the feat (Zebstrika and Gyarados) or scaling for it (Ninetales scales to Arcanine, Tauros scales to Kangaskhan, Froslass scales to Glailie,, and Golisopod, Milotic, School Wishiwashi, Dhelmise, Toxapex, and Wailord scales to Gyarados, Hariyama and Hawlucha scale to Machamp), or are both, late game and late evolving Pokemon (Mienshao, Bisharp, Braviary, and Mandibuzz. Crabominable can literally not evolve until the end of the game so him too). Significant hype from different medias, or being dragons get questioned.
Megas scale to Abomasnow's City+ feat, and they get an "at least" due to Abomasnow's feat being in base. Except Mega Audino.
Pseudos scale to Tyranitar's 7-A feat. If they have a Mega Form or a Totem-boosted form, they get an "at least".
Legendaries under High 7-A or are featless are scaled to Moltres' casual High 7-A feat. Because of common sense. Silvally is treated as a legendary.
Pokemon that are non-conforming to this are Rhydon and Rhyperior, Abomasnow, and Volcarona, as they have their own feats, Wobbuffett, who can't really fight and is just durability and countering, and Mega Audino, as I don't know exactly where it goes.
Controversy started stirring up over level scaling. Furthermore, I have questions about how we should tier Lapras, Togekiss, Turtonator, Bewear, Druddigon, Excadrill, Zanzgoose, and Seviper. All of these are MCB+, but have good reason to be Town level, likely City level. Same case with the Eeveelutions, as they're final forms of starter Pokemon, but so is the 8-A Raichu, while Eevee is scaled to Pikachu. But in the games where Pikachu is a starter, it can't evolve, while Eevee can when it's a starter.
Speed
We agreed for Transonic, but I was recently thinking about something else: High Hypersonic. To keep things recent, Seismic Toss was calced by DT to be Mach 28. The Thunder family of moves are CtG (all come from the sky, and Thunder is clearly from the clouds, and they're weaker versions of the same move. Furthermore, 10 Million Volt Thunderbolt is also CtG, while its just a boosted Thunderbolt), Ion Deluge scatters negatively charged electrons (massive outlier), Hitmonchan is Mach 22, Manectric can create thunderclouds and fire lightning, Ash's Pikachu is in the game and is Mach 597, many Pikachus can cause lighting storms, and Zebstrika is lightning speed. Tbh, HHS sounds relatively low now.
