I'd been putting this off for a while and had kinda forgotten about it, but I figured this needed to be done, eventually.
As you may know, Necrozma is currently rated as 4-B in all of its forms, as are pretty much all Gen VII legendaries. This is from scaling Solgaleo and Lunala to Ultra Necrozma, due to being able to restore Ultra Necrozma's light.
Upgrades happened here.
However, there is a major problem here that I brought up near the bottom of that thread, but that was never followed up on.
Ultra Necrozma's 4-B feat doesn't exist.
For a while, we've rated it at 4-B due to supposedly providing light to an entire universe, but this is an assumption we made when the game came out which was never proven. Or even supported. By like, anything.
I too fell victim to the hype and went along with this, but over time, I realized this was a mistake.
In the very thread used to upgrade everyone via scaling them to Ultra Necrozma, it's shown that when people mention it providing light to a world, they're referring to the planet. This honestly should have been our first assumption.
Considering Ultra Necrozma being 4-B comes from the idea that it simultaneously provided light to an entire universe, this all falls apart when we see that it wore itself out by providing light to individual worlds.
If people want to argue "well, it's probably different in the games", I would like scans explicitly stating that Necrozma lit up whole universes at once, because I can't find any. On the contrary, the anime, which we also take into account for our profiles, suggests something very different.
This would make Ultra Necrozma a much, much lower tier than we initially thought, and it would probably just be better to scale it to legendaries like Zygarde, as this feat wouldn't surpass Zygarde's tier.
In short, we currently have more than 10 pokemon scaled to like a megafoe based on absolutely nothing.
