Yveltal
Congratulations to the fifth winner with 5 votes, Yveltal!
Here are the nominees for #6:
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'm going to vote for Lunala. He has been a very good and influential Pokémon during all its time in SS Ubers, and even if he has mostly been relegated to a defensive do-almost-nothing wall role nowadays, he was still insanely influential and threatening in the early days of SS, especially during Post-Home.

I'll be voting for Gothitelle. I was hesiting between him and Kyogre, but the fact that Gothitelle terrorized the tier during a complete year and forced multiple Pokémon to run a bad item (Shed Shell), and sometimes even bad sets makes him one of the most influential Pokémon in the tier, so much that he was banned just like both Zacians, so if anything that's a proof of how heavily Gothitelle affected the metagame.
