I would never suggest ranking regular Pokemon moves because there's so many of them and there's a lot of them that are either shit or rather obscure (that many people probably haven't heard of). The sheer number of regular Pokemon moves makes it completely impossible to run a ranking project for that.

Z-Moves are much different than regular Pokemon moves because Z-Moves put a huge amount of focus into really flashy looking animations. There's also far less Z-Moves than regular Pokemon moves, so it's much easier ranking Z-Moves. I already pointed out there are 29 Z-Moves currently, not counting the Z-Move versions of status moves.

You are not authorized to speak for other people. If you really want to find out if there is interest in a Z-Move ranking project, go post a poll topic about this issue and see how people vote.

I downloaded Steiner's Google Doc spreadsheet to my computer so I can go through with the process of calculating the overall results for the main Gen VII Pokemon along with the score they would have gotten if we had only ranked those Pokemon.

While I was going through the lists and removing the Alolan Forms, I noticed swirldude's list does not have a Pokemon ranked at 34th overall. Instead, swirldude has 2 Pokemon that are both ranked 23rd on his list (Sandslash-A and Marowak-A). If this mistake was to be corrected, I guess we'll need to consult swirldude to figure out which one of those Pokemon would have been ranked 24th, and then adjust the rest of the list accordingly.

Looking at where swirldude ranked Sandshrew-A (95th on his list), I'd lean towards Marowak-A being the intended 23rd overall on his list and Sandslash-A being 24th overall. This is probably the adjustment I'd make to correct the mistake with 2 Pokemon at 23rd and no Pokemon ranked 34th on the list:

aH0rE0e

All of the Pokemon that were originally ranked 24th to 33rd on the list get moved down one spot, while one Pokemon between Marowak-A and Sandslash-A gets bumped down to 24th instead.
