The Top 10 Titans of the Gen 7 Monotype Metagame
With the introduction of the seventh generation of Pokemon comes with many new Pokemon and the introduction of Z-Moves. Many of these newly introduced Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Greninja, Celesteela, and Tapu Bulu changed the way Monotype as a tier functioned drastically. The big question this thread will try to answer with this thread is, which 10 Pokemon, were the most influential across the entirety of SM Monotype?
From July 31 to August 8, 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. Keep in mind that we aren't ranking on how good a Pokemon is, we are ranking on how influential the Pokemon has been this generation, and how much of an impact it has had on the metagame itself.
For this project, Pokemon that have been quickbanned are not up for nominations because of the little time they were present in the metagame despite having a huge effect on it. However, you may nominate Pokemon that have been banned via suspect if you feel their metagame impact warrants doing so.
Each individual Pokemon is allowed up to three individual nominations. This is to see other types of approaches people use when describing the overall effect a certain Pokemon has on the entire metagame.
Here's the format as to which your post should follow. Please make sure you follow the format, or I will not be counting your nomination.
Current Nominees:
The Top 10 Titans of the Gen 7 Monotype Metagame:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. 7.
8.
9.
10.
You're allowed to reserve nominations, but make sure to finish them in 24 hours, or they will be back up for grabs! Also, you can only reserve one nomination at a time. This is to make sure that your reservation gets done before you finish another.

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 Monotype?
What are the best checks/counters to this Pokemon? How does the metagame adapt to this Pokemon?
