Welcome to the Monster Hunter Showdown Viability rankings!
In this page, we, as a community, will rank every justifiably usable Monsters into ‘tiers’ depending on their viability in (Singles) OU. Feedback to these rankings will be taken into account when deciding rank changes; but the ultimate decision will be handled by the MHS Council whenever an update for the VR is slated.
Like Smogon, everything is lumped. No segregation between offense, defense, and supportive presences in the Meta. The ranks themselves are ordered alphabetically, not by viability.
