MemoNote: Just wanna give you guys a heads up:
This thread is also a thread for general metagame discussion and not just for suspects. I'm taking the opportunity to say that, yes! you can actually post replays, some analyses on strategies, replays... or anything as long as it talks about the metagame! This thread and all subsequent variants of it are the metagame threads of the subforum. While it may be easy to mistake this thread to be purely for suspects, this isn't really the case; np threads are supposed to talk about the general stage of the metagame (hence stage # on the titles) and the suspect posts, while being posts that talk about the present meta, are not the only ones you can post here. Honestly, as long as it's about the metagame, you can post anything.
I'll also make this clear too while I'm at it: we can have threads for specific topics too! If one ever feels that they have something good to talk about that wouldn't really fit in the metagame thread or would be better to be a specific topic on their own, feel free to run it for approval to the mods of this subforum (myself, kamikaze, and Level 51). A good example of these kinds of threads would be this.

"Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast."
The Doubles Council has decided to put forward Magearna and Power Construct (Zygarde-Complete form) to a quickban vote which will be happening over the weekend.
Magearna possesses a fantastic defensive typing in Fairy/Steel along with the ability to boost its Special Attack throughout the battle quite easily when any Pokemon faints thanks to Soul Heart Ability. The speed at which Magearna boosts its Special Attack Stat, the coverage it possesses, and its fantastic bulk and typing are the reasons why its being thrown to a vote.
Power Construct enables Zygarde to become a massive tank with 216 base HP which enables to become a massive bulky setup sweeper with either Dragon Dance or Coil. The massive HP buff enables Zygarde to easily soak in even 4x effective Ice attacks and Thousand Arrows is usually the only attack it ever needs as its a Ground move that hits floating pokemon as well. The ease this pokemon has in both setting up and sweeping with or without partners gives it a strong case to be put up for a quickban vote.
The result of the quick ban vote as well as any potential future quick ban suspects, if any, will be posted within this thread.
It is encouraged that this thread be used for metagame discussion. Discussion can be regarding current threats, metagame trends, ways to combat the metagame, etc...
When making arguments be sure to use proper backing whether it be through replays, experience, or calcs. Do not overdose on replays and calcs and try to simply use them to string together your arguments rather than just dumping them and expecting things to be self explanatory.
