Hey all, and welcome to the XY RU Tiering Info thread! This thread's purpose is to keep you all updated on the state of tiering in XY RU as the tier progresses and keep track of past suspect tests, which should hopefully help people jump into the tier more easily. This thread will contain a few things that will (hopefully) constantly be updated, so be sure to keep checking this thread for updates!

The Plan:
While UU is following a plan that differentiates from OU's tiering process, RU will be following XY OU's process almost exactly. As soon as the tier becomes official, we will begin to have official suspect rounds that will allow any kind of user to vote on whether or not a Pokemon should be banned, so long as they reach the set ladder requirements that we will announce at the beginning of the round. At the end of each round, we will post a suspect voter identification thread, where users must post a screenshot of one of their accounts being above the set ladder requirements if they wish to vote. From there, we will have suspect discussion where users can discuss and debate on the suspects (these will be decided by the RU Council), before voting.
In this month before RU becomes official however, the RU Council will be working to remove threats that are very obviously broken, and harmful to the state of the tier. In these cases, the RU Council will vote amongst themselves on whether or not the broken Pokemon should be quickbanned or not, and the results of that vote will be posted in this thread.
As for a more general idea of the RU council, the council is meant to be a collection of some of the best players and contributors the tier has to offer. The RU council is meant to serve an advisory role, helping atomicllamas and Molk out with things regarding potential suspects, as well as with various issues/things going on in the tier (whether its the metagame discussion forum, RU C&C, the PS room, or the IRC channel). Keep in mind though that while their word is valued, it's not gospel.
The RU Council is also here to help all of you out, given they're meant to be some of the best players and contributors in the tier, they're some of the first people you should look to talk to if you ever need help on something involving the tier.
- A list of the people who are on the current RU council and former council members.
- An explanation of how the RU tiering system will work once we become official, and what the current plan is now.
- Links to past tiering votes and short explanations for each.
- A list of the Pokemon that have been banned from RU.
