The RU council has brought up Tyrantrum as possibly being deserving of a suspect test. Previously RU has only suspected Pokemon that were considered by atomicllamas and I to be very likely to be broken (hence the voting ending up as over 80% ban). However, we have decided to change the way that RU is approaching suspect testing, by suspecting Pokemon that are less obviously broken, but may have a negative impact on the RU metagame. As always, if you'd like to see some in depth reasoning as to why this Pokemon is being suspected, there are some paragraphs below written about why this Pokemon in particular was chosen, whether or not you agree with the reasoning is up to you, however.
The requirements for this test will be the same as last time.The reqs will be 2800 coil with a B value of 9.0 and the suspect test will end/voting will begin exactly two weeks after the date this post was made. Some sample values are below.
To find out how many matches it'll take for you specifically, take your GXE, and put it into this formula
N=9.0/log2(40*GXE/2800)

Tyrantrum is being suspected primarily due to its extremely hard hitting STAB moves. For offensive teams, it is very hard to find a rock resist sturdy enough to switch in and take two Head Smashes from Scarf Tyrantrum, this is exacerbated by the fact that the Steel-types which most easily fit onto offense does not resist Rock-type moves in the first place. Because of this, offensive teams are limited quite a bit in this metagame, and are often forced into running a slower, more defensive Pokemon, which can be a huge momentum drain that heavy offense teams can't afford. While Tyrantrum has the most influence on offensive teams, it is not dead weight against defensive teams either, simply due to the extremely high BP of its STAB moves. Common defensive steel types lack reliable recovery, so Tyrantrum's presence can easily lead to them being overwhelmed.
