Sorry for the delay, but the results are up! Thanks to everyone who voted, we got 53 votes in for our first survey, with over half the responses at 28 users being qualified by our tournament / ladder metrics, so let's get into the results:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoyment is currently sitting at an average of 6.94/10, while stability is at a 6.26/10. These numbers aren't bad, especially for such an early stage of the metagame where things are typically the most chaotic. Fairly average and solid numbers for these two statistics. Comparing to the
last survey of SS, enjoyment is higher which is always good, but stability took a bit of a hit. This can usually be expected to rise once the metagame is out of its earliest days, but there is room for improvement regardless.

The main target of this survey was Moody, so it's no surprise that it got some high levels of support calling for a ban. Among the entire voterbase, ~53% of people would like to see an immediate Moody ban, while ~19% would prefer to leave it to a suspect test and then vote ban. This leaves ~28% of people who would prefer Moody to stay either through a suspect test or through no action, clearly a result far less than we'd want of something in the tier. The qualified voterbase was essentially the same, with just a bit higher percentage of people wanting no suspect test one way or the other but the percentages for ban and do not ban are roughly the same.
The reason for the multiple options in this question was to determine the best approach for the council. It's very clear that something needs to be done about Moody, but the quickban route is something rarely taken in Ubers after a metagame has actually started being playable. Some things retain their bans from the previous gen going into it or even get quickbanned as the gen launches, but generally Ubers doesn't quickban things anymore, for the sake of giving the playerbase a chance to share their opinion since Ubers is the tier with the least bans. We'll be discussing the right course of action in the coming days and have news to you soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The overall average thoughts on terastallization are a 5.01/10, while the qualified average is a 4.29/10. These numbers are reassuring, as it shows that for the most part the community doesn't see terastallization as broken or uncompetitive. Of course, we'll still always keep a watchful eye due to the controversial nature of terastallization, but for now there will just be observation on it.
Some additional notes, Miraidon was brought up 7 times in the comments section, probably being the most controversial new Pokemon and one of the most controversial parts of Ubers as a whole. Especially with potential news on metagame release dates coming soon we're going to keep a very close eye on Miraidon, and if it proves to be too much in the upcoming SV Ubers metas then action can be taken.
Thanks again to all who responded, if you have any questions feel free to ask in the Ubers discord, the SQSA thread, or PM me / Aberforth.
