I predict Moody will stay banned.

I was partaking in a suspect test earlier on at showdown as I am using my Bibaral on my rain team with a set I came up as


Bibarel (F/M)

Ability: Moody
Trait: Carefull
EVs: 252hp/252Spd/4Def
Moveset
-Substitute
-Protect
-Waterfall
-Toxic

On the first match of suspect test when my grasseus is down I sent in my bibarel at turn 5 until about turn 32 without dying which is pretty broken but still.
fortunately for me I went up in from 1250ish to 1504 and that's a lot to think about for my bibarels actions in ubers suspect test thanks to moody. To be fair
what fate does moody ability to come? We shall see if I get to vote. Sorry of you are asking for replay I forgot to save it so I will need to get a replay for it
whenever I can. You may use my set that I made if you like but at least you are partaking a suspect test if you want to use this
What item did you use?

What item did you use?
It almost goes without saying that Leftovers is the item of choice. The point of this set is to rack up Moody boosts while wearing the opponent down with Toxic, which heavily relies on Bibarel executing a Substitute-Protect chain for as long as possible.
 
First of all i had not meet the reqs (i'm at 1790 ± 37). Anyway i have all this replays using the following bibarel:

Bibarel
Ability: Moody
Trait: Jolly
Item: Leftovers
EVs:
252hp/4SpDef/252Sp/
Moveset
-Substitute
-Protect
-Dive
-Toxic

Here are some replays (some quite long):

Personally i dont think moody is broken in any way... it's just annoying since it's used in a defensive manner (sub/protect) but it can be countered in many ways, just as mentioned above: perish song/roar (ok can fail if evasion is up, but who would let a moody user stay on the field for too long?)/haze/taunt

I always use this bibarel after some of the usual checks are crippled with a burn (dialga/ferro) and i always use ferro/forretress/any other defensive pokemon as a setup fodder for bibarel (which is a free sub at least). I choose Dive over waterfall since dive gives me a free turn of more moody setup if i outspeed and also allows toxic to rack off more damage
