Banned deucer.
Tier shifts are finally here! RU lost Kommo-o and Seismitoad as both moved up to UU by usage, but RU gained three new Pokemon:
While it would be ideal to give the tier some time to settle, the tier shifts have arguably negligible impact on the suspect's viability, which has been on the radar for quite some time now. Because of this, RU will proceed with the following suspect as planned:
DURANT SUSPECT
Brought to you by a majority consensus among the RU council and by popular demand, the RU council has deemed Durant to be deserving of a suspect test. As always, if you'd like to see some in-depth reasoning as to why this Pokemon is being suspected, there is a paragraph written below about why Durant in particular was chosen. The suspect test will last 10 days, and the deadline will be 11:59 PM EST on the 21st of January, assuming the ladder is up the next day.
The requirements will be 2800 coil with a B value of 9.0, but you will need to finish within 62 games. I will know if you reset your win loss, given its determined by GXE. Do not attempt to game the system, you will be infracted if I catch you, and I will. A GXE of 77.5 is the required minimum.
To find out how many matches it'll take for you specifically, take your GXE and put it into this formula:
=9.0/log2(40*GXE/2800)
NP Song:
Tagging The Immortal for a suspect ladder. This suspect ladder will include Durant in it. Thanks in advance

Durant is being suspected because it's combination of Speed, power, and ability to choose its counters has made it one of the most consistent breakers in RU. Its Hone Claws sets allows it to muscle through common defensive staples with Fightnium Z, including Milotic and Mega Steelix. Its Speed tier puts it above nearly every wallbreaker and the majority of offensive Pokemon in the tier, making it difficult for even offensive teams to pin down. Furthermore, its ability to equip a Choice Band set allows it to beat all of the Pokemon that can handle its Hone Claws set, such as defensive Moltres and Unaware Users, while granting it the ability to KO nearly every offensive threat with the right move.
