Project The Top 10 Titans of the Gen 8 Ubers Metagame [See Post #183 for Final Ranking]

3# seems slightly more convoluted

Between Dusk-Mane, Calyrex-S, Yveltal...
I would give it to Calyrex-S mainly due to the fact that it has warped the tier around it instantly the moment it was introduced and still is currently.

Dusk-Mane sure definitely had a longer history, but it was largely just a temporary Zacian stopgap, and once it could run more offense, it still was a threat, just not in a major way.

Yveltal was theorised to be a potent threat before Calyrex-S revelation due to Dynamax, but of course it was banned and yveltal was more tame than expected especially with the shift towards more offensive sets.

Overall: Calyrex-S

:ss/calyrex-shadow:
 
Calyrex-Shadow, which is by far the most warping presence in the builder despite its short time in the tier compared to some other top Uber Pokemon, gets my vote.

Congratulations to the third winner with 9 votes, Calyrex-Shadow!


Here are the nominees for #4:
















Remember, those ranking are for the most influentional Pokémon on the meta, not the best, so, if you think that Xerneas changes the Teambuilding more than Yveltal, but Yveltal is a better Pokémon, then you should vote for Xerneas. This rank also keeps in mind all of Gen 8, not just DLC 2 SS. So, while this doesn't make Pokémon like Groudon, Yveltal and Kyogre unable to compete with the others, do keep in mind that they weren't here from the start.

We're going to start by voting the number #1 until we get to the number #10, with each voting stage lasting for 7 days. To vote, you simply need to say the name of the Pokémon you're voting for; you don't need to provide a motive, but that would be appreciated. Discussion during the voting stages also is encouraged.

I'll be voting for Necrozma-Dusk Mane. He has been a staple on almost every team since its release in the early days of SS Ubers, like Eternatus, just maybe a bit less threatening offensively, especially at the beginning of the tier.

I'll be voting for Yveltal. Same as NDM and Eternatus are, he's a staple on every serious team, which means he has a to be in the top on the most influentional Pokémon of the tier, even he lost places in the ranking because he was released after the others did.
