Top 10 Titans of 5th Gen LC
As 6th gen swiftly approaches, I think it’s time that we take a look back on the entire 5th gen LC Metagame. With the transition from 4th gen to 5th gen, Eviolite got introduced, which meant the metagame shifted from heavily offensive to balanced. With the arrival of Black and White 2, many past threats became all the more potent thanks to more readily available tutor attacks and hidden abilities, for example Foongus. Many Pokémon have had a great impact over the course of 5th gen LC. But, it is now time to decide, who are the Top 10 Titans of 5th Gen LC?
This is where you guys come in. This thread will work similarly to the LC Viability Ranking Thread, where throughout the month, you guys will nominate Pokemon to be voted on to be placed as candidates for the Top 10 Titans of 5th Gen LC. The voting for the actual top 10 list will be done near the end of september (close to the release of generation VI) by you all*, so that by the time 6th gen does roll around, we have an accurate depiction of which Pokemon were the ones that had a very significant impact on the LC Metagame. Every shift, you will look through the candidates mentioned, and then you will vote on the one that has the most compelling argument on why it should be in the Top 10. The nominating will last until the end of August, which after that, the voting process will being, with a top ten list determined two weeks later.
* i had to change the format a little because we're starting this a little later than the other tiers, so there isn't really very much time
Now, what do I want in a post? Well, what I would like to see in a post nominating a Pokemon is:
Now, for the big question, what kinds of Pokemon can we nominate? Well, really, you can nominate any that were in LC but were banned, or you can suggest any Pokemon that’s in LC right now. I’m hoping that by the end of September, we’ll have a significant list to vote for the top 10.
Now, the voting for the top 10 will NOT be a standard 1. Best Pokemon 2. Second best, etc. The Top 10 will be the ones that have had the most significant impact on their time used in the Metagame. This means even in Black and White 1.
Here's a list of the current nominees:
Meditite| Carvanha |Murkrow | Misdreavus | Mienfoo | Scraggy | Drilbur | Snover |Hippopotas | Chinchou | Gligar | Vulpix
I feel that this project would be a great idea for us at the moment with 6th gen coming towards us fast and with 5th gen finally winding down on being almost done with the changes in it. So, now it is up to you all. Who do you think impacted the LC metagame the most? Who do you believe is a Titan?

Now, what do I want in a post? Well, what I would like to see in a post nominating a Pokemon is:
- What kind of effect did this Pokemon have during its time in the 5th Gen LC Metagame?
- What were its main roles when it was/is used?
- What caused it to have such a significant impact? (Think Movesets, abilities, base stats, etc)
- How would you deal with this Pokemon when you are team building/battling it? (checks, counters, etc)
Now, for the big question, what kinds of Pokemon can we nominate? Well, really, you can nominate any that were in LC but were banned, or you can suggest any Pokemon that’s in LC right now. I’m hoping that by the end of September, we’ll have a significant list to vote for the top 10.
