Name: Priority Protection
General Description: A Pokemon that can discourage and be a good check to priority.
Justification: Since the era of Gen 6, priority has been an extremely overused concept. Most of the Pokemon in the OU tier have a good priority, which allows it to faint others quickly. It's extremely rare these days to find someone whose team doesnt have a single priority user. This concept will have a positive effect on the metagame, by discouraging simply priority, and opening spaces for new methods of using Pokemon other than priority. It also allows us to learn more about the tier about what will happen to it when priority is discouraged
