It's that time again. Another round of suspect testing. For those of you who are unaware to what this is, this is basically the time where a large group of people send nominations of what should be tested to see if it's either OU or Uber. It's the stage before the deciding phase of whether something is "banned" or not.
Now, I know we do not follow Smogon on this site, but a few of us are reaching out to other places for battles so this may or may not affect us in some ways.
Please only post here if you FOLLOW the metagame and actually like to BATTLE in the metagame. Usual forum rules apply.
To give you an understanding of what's nominated, here's a list
Nomination List:
And that basically sums it up for now besides the fact that a lot of people want to unban Manaphy and Blaziken (With no SB) and a huge amount of people in favor of banning Excadrill.

To give you an understanding of what's nominated, here's a list
Nomination List:
- Excadrill (No surprise)
- Baton Passing + Espeon (It's said to be the best Baton Passing chain since Magic Bounce removes any phazing/status and such)
- Auto-Weather
- Lucario (2(?) people are nominating this which leaves me very confused; even though it has access to both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, I find with my own personal experience that it's still hard to set up with this)
- Volcarona
- Deoxys-S
- Thundurus
- Shell Smash (I just knew this would be up here)
- Sand Veil/Snow Cloak
- Dragonite + Multiscale (Really?)
- Reuniclus (Ok, I can understand a little with Dragonite but REALLY?)
- Having multiple Sleep-Inducing move (So for example, having Breloom with Spore while also having Roserade or Tangrowth with Sleep Powder on the same team)
- Rotom-W (Starting to get out of hand with the nominations....)
- Hydreigon (Apparently, this is a massive threat and should be in Ubers.....If Latios isn't up, why should this?)
And that basically sums it up for now besides the fact that a lot of people want to unban Manaphy and Blaziken (With no SB) and a huge amount of people in favor of banning Excadrill.
