As a very delayed follow-up to the last inheritour, Inheritance is suspecting Shaymin-Sky into the tier!
Shaymin-Sky has never been legal in Inheritance, always being in the initial banlist alongside the box legendaries and the such. But this generation the power level has risen enough for it to be comparable to the rest of the tier. Stat-wise, its very similar to Darkrai, with notably a higher speed tier, and its typing can be a mixed bag; Flying is a really good offensive typing but it bestows a weakness to rocks and Grass doesn't do it many favors. Its closest comparison within its typing is Tornadus-T, who sees no play but has a high ish speed and solid offenses. In the Inheritour it performed fine, if a bit underwhelmingly, and one of its most promising sets, mixed SFLO, has been banned since then.
However, Shaymin-Sky as base is infamous for its flinchax antics, and it can still pull those of in Inheritance. Sure, pokemon like Dudunsparce that have both Serene Grace and Air Slash with Glare to boot are already legal and not a problem in the tier, but Skymin as a donor brings Seed Flare as a way to break through with less reliance on multiple flinches, and as an inheritor it brings a much better stat spread than anything currently available. Other potential sets, such as Mixed Contrary and Sharpness, could finish pushing Skymin too far. Overall, this pokemon still offers a lot to explore and could potentially be an interesting addition to the tier, which is why its being suspected into the tier.
