Doublade it was on like 30% of teams the entire time it was RU, was S rank for almost every meta out of beta, and was bae
phantom
Banned deucer.
Doublade
It held down a significant number of top tier threats including Virizion, Cobalion, Durant, Tyrantrum, and Reuniclus, which only began to excel once it moved up to UU. Doublade was also the face of offense from Shuckle meta up until the time it moved up. It also proved to excel even on stallish archetypes due its outstanding defensive characteristics and ability to act as a win condition. It was a perfect Pokemon in pretty much everything it wanted to accomplish; the only thing keeping it above Moltres was the fact that its checks were actually good.

It was a keystone that prevented a bunch of other major threats from completely breaking the tier.
This leaves my choice for Titan #3 (next round) as a toss-up between Gligar and Reuniclus.
The latter can be my #4 vote because it could cause a lot of devastation as a CM sweeper and forced players to run multiple checks (Doublade + Drapion cores on offense) or odd techs (Megahorn Rypherior) in order to prevent it from spiraling out of control. Although it's combination of power, bulk, and immunity to passive damage made it a huge teambuilding constraint even when one of its best checks resided the tier, Doublade still held it down by a good amount.

Doublade
Very consistent threat, checked like over half of the top threats in the metagame when it was around, had a strong defensive typing, massive physical bulk, and had Swords Dance which made it potent both offensively and defensively. It was also the best spinblocker around when it was here (could block Hitmonlee I guess Kabutops too) and this combined with the previous reasons made it a staple of offense. Overall it was a very consistently useful mon that was both very threatening and a staple on the vast majority of teams when it was RU.
