What pokemon would be OU if Inverted Battles were the standard format?

Staraptor.

Aurorus would be up there if only because it resisted so much. Too bad Rock and Ice aren't so good in Inverted for offense and that it can't set up Aurora Veil for some reason.
Vespiquen also becomes a legitimate threat.

Leavanny was a mixed bag when I used it on inverse matches in gen 6. OKHOing Charizards was beautiful to watch, but it's weakness to Fighting, Grass(4x and common coverage) and Ground(4x) was quite a hinderance. It surprised me Fighting and Ground would still be used as coverage on an Inverse format of all places.
Celebi for sure. Especially considering how powerful U-Turn is in inverse battles.
Anyone have any inverse battle replays?

Avalugg and Meloetta were S rank in inverse if I'm not mistaken

Damn, I wouldn't have made this thread if I knew it was an actual format
>>31732457
What the hell makes Meloetta so good in that format?
>>31730656
a lot of grass and ice types

Not that surprising, typing is important but if a pokemon has good stats, typing and ability it will be used regardless. It's just funny to see Giratina there because Inverse Ghost/Dragon has so many weaknesses it actually becomes manageable outside of Ubers

Good stats, movepool and ability*
Brainfart, mb

Unresisted Normal STAB + Normal/Psychic is only weak to psychic

and this is before conversion-z

Alolan Sandslash and Aurorus.
Tapu Bulu makes grass-spam that much scarier.
