Nice.

Anyway though

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 thread
 
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?
You bet in the thread
 
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

Tera blast ban could also possibly open up usage of some banned pokemon such as Regieleki

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)

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.

finally something that would save the tier

UT replied in the thread confirming that it's all reaction score, not just Likes.

Reaction score in general yes


EDIT: Yes give me my likes, I will gamble it all away in the store.

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)
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.

Meanwhile me trying to determine if it would be funnier to try Landorus or a Giratina if I had any sway over such a Suspect vote.
