An OU suspect test of your choice - 500,000 likes (quantity available: the 1)
Can be pooled among as many users as needed to hit 500k. Suspect must be within reasonable tiering practices — i.e: no complex bans — and on something topically relevant in the metagame. Must be approved by @Finchinator and @Ruft, we can provide a list of reasonable options if necessary. Will be launched at the conclusion of the badgeshop, or one week after an ongoing suspect ends, if applicable.
As part of Smogon’s 2024 Likeshop hosted by UT, if the community can pool together 500k likes, then we can have a fun OU suspect within reason — see more in the above quote/corresponding threadAn OU suspect test of your choice - 500,000 likes (quantity available: the 1)

First time I've seen one of these. Is there any place I can ask (be it the shop, here, or another thread) if I have questions about things like pooling or my own count?
Attention: I have officially started the campaign for a Tera Blast Suspect Test. With my own likes we are 0.5% of the way there. Please consider contributing in the thread.
Tera blast is a controversial element that brings back shades of Hidden Power, and a test on this element could notably reduce tera variance to be more restricted by a Pokemon's movepool. No more tera electric DD Kyurem
Yeah, just wanted to confirm where to ask if the initial rules post had anything I didn't quite follow (EX: Reaction Score is equivalent to Likes vs excluding things like Angry/Sad/Haha ones that weren't "Like" reactions specifically)You bet in the threadWelcome Back To December and to 12 Days of Likeshop! long story short, it is the latest instalment of shops (most recently stolen from Kalalokki) focused on spending your hard-earned likes for some fun changes on the forums and Pokemon Showdown!. Since this can't Stay Stay Stay, the shop will only be open for 12 days, keeping in line with the traditional period of time around this time of year. This also means that many of your purchases, especially the mystery boxes, are not...

The Suspect one is a funny experiment because of the number of steps it goes through to work: Besides getting everyone to pool behind picking an option, subsequently it'd also have to actually make the 60% threshold to change anything, so raw numbers first and then ratio on the next step.
Reaction score in general yes
Palafin and Solgaleo were cited as things that could be chosen, Lugia might not actually be as farfetched a derail as it seemed before in that context.Tera (blast) is a lame suspect (unless its for tera preview or tera cap then its fine), go radical and give us something like Lugia (or whatever else derails the conversation here)
