Recently, gamefreak seems to have taken a page from OUR book for the second time! That's because next season, Battle Spot Special is going to be Gamefreak's doubles Underused!
Below is the banlist. Note that while Gamefreak's banlist isn't as big as a smogon UU banlist, Gamefreak still bans the top 19 Pokémon PLUS all their formes, so this still dramatically changes the metagame!

I'm not going to go into speculating QUITE yet (though we have talked about the potentials of this metagame quite a bit recently in #Pokemon , so I will post soon!), but one thing I will note right now. You might want to get Pinsirite from that Gamestop promotion if you can't get that in your version, because it sounds like Mega Pinsir might be a major part of this metagame!Aegislash
