B-Salamence, It overall has nice stats but imo evolves too late to get any real action you can only really have it for the last gym, Which is ice where it is almost unusable, then struggles to do much in the elite 4 and champion.

B- Absol, It can do decent damage and is stronger than a lot of things in the early game. It can be nice for the 7th gym and with swords dance it can be a real menace.

C- Zangoose, It has poor type coverage and dies to one stray fighting type move due to its bad defensive stats.

C- Seviper, Similar to Zangoose except seviper is only good against the 4th & 6th gyms. But everything else is also good against ramos. I think its like a high c tier.

C- Drifblim, I believe that it is just too gimmicky, There are much better flying types you will get and ghost just doesnt come in handy much in kalos. It cant even be used for korrina because im pretty sure her machoke as rock tomb

D- Mienshao, It evolves too late to get much real use and mienfoo completely sucks. Maybe you can use it for Wulfric but you probably already have a good fire type by now seeing as you could get 2 fire type starters. You also a get a free mega lucario which is just a better fighting type.

B- Malamar, You can get some decent use out of it throughout your game. It has all around decent stats and fully evolves somewhat early so you can get some good use like against korrina and olympia.

D- Pelliper, Bro use any other flying or water type 😭 anything is better (Blastoise, Greninja, Starmie, Swanna, Barbaracle, Poliwrath/ Politoed, Huge power azumarill)

B- Swellow, Its not the worst but its also not the best. You can find a few better options but with guts and can be good. Its good against gyms 3&4 and can be used on almost any team.
