Although ORAS Monotype was filled with many changes, that isn't the question. The question is: out of all of the Pokemon that graced (or disgraced) the metagame, which Pokemon were the most influential? Consider what impact did the Pokemon have on the metagame. Were specific sets ran to counter or check them? How did they shape the metagame as a whole?
The format is quite simple from: October 2nd-October 16th nominations of possible titans should be posted in this thread. After that, there will be voting stages ranking the Pokemon from 1-10 to determine which Pokemon were most influential in the ORAS Monotype metagame. Keep in mind that the list is not based on how good the Pokemon but how influential the Pokemon was in the ORAS Monotype metagame.
As a general rule of thumb, we'll be starting after the ban of Mawilite and Slowbronite, which means Pokemon such as Mega Salamence, Talonflame, Mega Slowbro, and Mega Mawile won't be allowed. This is mostly because there was not an established tiering philosophy during XY and Early ORAS. As a friendly reminder, please do not nominate Pokemon that aren't influential in the Monotype metagame.
Nominating [Pokemon]
Enter sprite or animated model 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 ORAS Monotype?
