Hey folks. Hope y'all are doing good. Now in the voting test I personally have no problem voting that Flutter Mane should not be banned because I genuinely have no problem with it being around. I also don't have a problem with it gone to be honest. I took a bunch of public opinion and saw a few posts on the voting thread. It seems like people really want Flutter Mane to be gone as they are having a lot of problems with it. I really don't know why the users have a problem with it being around. I myself haven't been on smogon doubles OU format for a long time aside from the time of getting 2980 coil as a requirement to vote. But anyways, I respect the public opinion of banning it and for this reason I would like to vote Flutter Mane to be BANNED. And yea that's it pretty much. Honestly, I think Flutter Mane isn't that a big of an issue but since the player base wanted it to be hit with the ban hammer I voted ban. Thats it guys. See you next time soon

Metagame np: SV DOU Stage 15: Without Me | Flutter Mane Suspect
- Thread starter bagel
- Start date
Hello, i can't see My name there
As much as I see where the freeing flutter arguments coming from, especially zee´s, I would say that Flutter Mane’s presence is simply too much for the tier to handle consistently.
Its combination of Speed, power, versatility and coverage would make it the strongest offensive piece in the format ,not only individually, but also when used alongside common partners like Chi-Yu or Landorus, which eliminate most of the already narrow counterplay. The result would be a metagame where teambuilding revolves around checking Flutter first, with limited options that often come at heavy cost elsewhere.
SV DOU seems to be in a healthy place and bringing Flutter back would centralize play around their presence.
Verdict: Do not Unban
