The Top 10 Titans of the Gen 7 NU Metagame
With new Pokemon like Slowbro, Incineroar, Heliolisk, Sneasel and Passimian dropping, this generation has been very different from previous generations. The big question that we will try to answer with this thread is, which of all the Pokemon were the 10 most influential throughout of Gen 7?
From July 28th to August 11th, you will nominate Pokemon that will be voted on for the top 10 most influential Pokemon throughout Gen 7. After that, you will all evaluate all the nominations and individually rank the Pokemon from 1-10 by vote. Of course, all the nominations will count as long as they're reasonable and fit the criteria. Please keep in mind that we're not ranking Pokemon based on how good they are, but we're ranking Pokemon based on how influential they've been.
Here's an example format of what your nomination can look like:
Nominating Pokemon
Enter sprite here.
What effect did Pokemon have on the metagame?
Explain how the Pokemon effected the metagame as whole, and how the metagame adapted around it. A brief description of which Pokemon it countered and which Pokemon it did well against would be good here as well.
In what main roles was Pokemon used?
Explain why this Pokemon was used on a team more often then most other Pokemon, and what was it particularly used for? What made it so good at this role?
What caused it to have a significant impact?
What exactly made this Pokemon have such a large impact on the metagame? Was it its stats, ability, useful resistances, amazing synergy, or the ability to sweep most of the metagame very easily? Did a certain Pokemon cause it to become that much better when it was partnered with it?
How do/did you deal with this Pokemon in NU?
What are the best checks/counters to this Pokemon? How does the metagame adapt to this Pokemon?
Make sure they look EXACTLY like this, or else I wont count them. Make sure they are also very informative, factual, accurate, and detailed.
