Yeah, Mew's stil on the list because I never got around to taking it off, mainly because the order of operations we voted on in the thread dictated it didn't really matter.
Ho-oh's a more interesting case because we don't plan on testing Stealth Rock. If I had to guess, I would think that the commonness of SR will keep this thing from being "uber".
Deoxys-D seems to me like it's pretty clearly going to easily rape Standard on either the Defense Characteristic or Support Characteristic or both (mainly the latter, probably).
Lati@s will Soul Dew has been "my" intention since the beginning, as you will notice from my first two posts in the np: - Latias thread. I'm
aware of what these pokemon are capable of in Standard with Soul Dew.
The real issue is what I mentioning in passing in one of the more recent IS threads:
[16:59] <Jumpman16> at what point do we start caring about time out loud
[16:59] <Jumpman16> like, we cant take "forever"
This is about time now, whether or not we want to acknowledge the elephant in the room (no, not Earth Plate Arceus, we're not acknowledging that or any Arceus until Nintendo does). Not retesting Skymin for a Stage 2 tag is in the interests of time more than anything. If you say that you think Lati@s is obviously uber with Soul Dew, I could say that besides the fact that we don't know this for sure, I have no problem curtailing a test after a week or so if a Suspect is obvious uber in line with existing experience we have to back that suspicion up. So I think that everyone weighing in on this topic also has to address how long our current Suspect List will take to be addressed. Currently:
1. Garchomp (75)
2. Lati@s (116)
3. Evasion Clause (126)
4. Manaphy (127)
5. Species Clause (136)
6. OHKO Clause (150)
7. UU Tiers (158)
8. Mew (159)
9. Arceus (172)
Obviously Garchomp's done. UU Tiers are being worked on right now. And Arceus was more of a "should we acknowledge this pokemon" more than "should this pokemon be banned from ubers". And I'm pretty sure the consensus now is that Mew shouldn't be a Suspect. So:
2. Lati@s (116)
3. Evasion Clause (126)
4. Manaphy (127)
5. Species Clause (136)
6. OHKO Clause (150)
We realize that Lati@s is potentially four tests, now three with Latias without Soul Dew having been tested. And now we are considering adding Ho-oh, and Deoxys-D. So, current potential Suspects:
Latias without Soul Dew
Latios without Soul Dew
Latias with Soul Dew
Latios with Soul Dew
Evasion Clause
Manaphy
Species Clause
OHKO Clause
So, now, please weigh in on which of thiese you still feel are legitimate Suspects (given that I have no problem, as stated, curtailing an "out of hand test"). The order probably shouldn't change much besides bumping Manaphy before Evasion Clause so that we address clauses after we're done handling pokemon. (How we're gong to address clauses in practice is a different topic altogether.)
