OP largely taken from Jordy's OU version of this thread
The Top 10 Titans of the Gen 7 DOU Metagame
With new Pokemon like Thousand Arrows Zygarde, Incineroar, Kartana, and the Island Guardians, this generation has been very different from previous generations. The big question that we will try to answer with this thread is "Which of all the Pokemon were the 10 most influential throughout of Gen 7?"
From August 25th to September 8th, you will nominate Pokemon that will be voted on for the top 10 most influential Pokemon throughout Gen 7. After that, you will all evaluate all the nominations and individually rank the Pokemon from 1-10 by vote. Of course, all nominations will count as long as they're reasonable and fit the criteria. Please keep in mind that we're not ranking Pokemon based on how good they are, but we're ranking Pokemon based on how influential they've been.
Here's an example format of what your nomination can look like:
Make sure they look EXACTLY like this, or else they won't be counted. Make sure they are also very informative, factual, accurate, and detailed.
Banned Pokemon can nominated, as they were often some of the most influential Pokemon during their time in the metagame. However Pokemon that were quickbanned soon after their release (like Magearna, Power Construct Zygarde, etc) are not eligible as they did not have much time to make an impact.
You're allowed to reserve nominations, but make sure to finish them in 24 hours, or the post will be deleted and the Pokemon will be back up for grabs! Also, you can only reserve one nomination at a time. This is to make sure that your reservation gets done before you finish another.

Nominating Pokemon
Enter sprite here.
What effect did Pokemon have on the metagame?
Explain how the Pokemon effected the metagame as whole, and how the metagame adapted around it. A brief description of which Pokemon it countered and which Pokemon it did well against would be good here as well.
In what main roles was Pokemon used?
Explain why this Pokemon was used on a team more often then most other Pokemon, and what was it particularly used for? What made it so good at this role?
What caused it to have a significant impact?
What exactly made this Pokemon have such a large impact on the metagame? Was it its stats, ability, useful resistances, amazing synergy, or the ability to sweep most of the metagame very easily? Did a certain Pokemon cause it to become that much better when it was partnered with it?
How do/did you deal with this Pokemon in DOU?
What are the best checks/counters to this Pokemon? How does the metagame adapt to this Pokemon?
