Victini Suspect Test!
It's time for another suspect test in the Almost Any Ability metagame! Throughout the most recent OMPL, we have seen many threats take center stage in the majority of high-competitive games in the format. The most notable examples being Noivern, Blacephalon, Naganadel, Buzzwole, and Landorus-T. However, no threat has been as consistently threatening and has had such an impact on teambuilding then Victini, displaying a superb amount of usage and success as a result. Although it's most common sets, mainly being abilities such as Desolate Land, Tinted Lens, and Mold Breaker (for Flash Fire users that are commonly added to take on it's nuclear attacks such as the near exclusively powerful V-Create), other sets such as Life Orb Sheer Force and Z-Celebrate combined with a myriad of other abilities have really made counteracting Victini seem almost impossible at times. Although other threats continue to roam the AAA metagame, the council has decided that Victini was the most pressing issue at the moment and is why we have decided to suspect it after OMPL concluded.
Some replays of it in action:

Suspect details: Suspects require you to achieve a certain GXE while playing over a certain amount of games. The trend with suspects is not using a suspect ladder, and just using the standard AAA ladder. Participants will therefore need to use a new alt to fulfill the requirements. More details below
- All games must be played on the Pokemon Showdown! AAA ladder on a new alt acc with the following format: "VAAA (Nick)." For example, I might register the alt VAAA funbot to ladder with. You must meet the listed format in order to qualify.
- To qualify for voting, your alt must play a minimum of 25 games, and you must have a minimum GXE of 78.
- Suspect test will end on September 27th (11:59pm EST). Victini will be allowed on the suspect ladder.
- A super-majority of 60% ban is required for Victini to be banned
