However, there's still a solid chance Smogon will keep Houndstone banned and ban Basculegion instead.
All it takes is for someone to argue Basculin isn't broken with it and they'll have a solid argument. On the other hand, if someone tops the ladder with Basculin, Last Respects will get a 100% ban vote for sure.
Either way, Basculin will be the true litmus test
