On to new Horizons!
Welcome to the BW2 NU-What Could Have Been Tournament!
It's standard BW2 NU but with one twist: One Pokemon from BW2 RU will be dropped into the tier for use in the tournament each round! In that sense, this tournament will give a taste of what the metagame could have been like with the potential dropdowns that RU had never given the tier.

These gears were once a very powerful setup sweeper back in the very early days of BW1 NU until RU eventually stole it (amongst many other Pokemon), and it stayed there till the end, albeit barely with constant stints of bordering NU levels of usage. But if it were to return to 5th Gen NU today, will it be able to make as big of a splash as it did back in the day? Play and find out!
Note: The deadline for this round will be June 26, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST (GMT -5).
Best of luck everyone!
