According to Serebii, 6000 players have been banned from the PGL due to hack. Is it possible that GF willingly delayed the release of the Bank from the start of Season 2, just to check if people used non-Alolan mons before they could legitimately used them ?
If yes, that could lead to a more safe competitive place. If no, hackers are just bad hackers.

Thx for the feedback. So that's just weird hackers putting max FP and then get caught when sync or people giving impossible stuff in SM until Bank (like Thick Fat on Mamoswine).I was reading the reddit hysteria over this ('oh no I'm going to be banned because of my breeding ditto / 6IV Shiny I got through WT!'), and after reading from folks who actually got banned, it seems like the common thread is hacking trainer information. So it was primary people changing their IDs or hacking themselves a bazillion FC or other stuff along those lines (possibly from comparing GameSync information?)
If that's true, it seems like it's mostly just overconfident/blatant hackers getting caught, and nothing to do with Pokemon legality.
There is no official word about that at all, sadly.That said, with Bank's release, I'm wondering if we've had any updates on QR code-based teams? All I've seen it used for so far is the Pokedex.
only for Pre-Bank teams, i'm not sure how viable they'd be in the Post-Bank game, a lot of them are weak to Fire...Is there a site in which I can check out some of the top-tier teams for the BSS (singles)?

we have a general discussion thread. you can also come chat on showdown or discordThank you for the answer. Is there a place to talk about this kind of stuff...? I prefer not to get into some random thread to go off-topic and disrupt the thread.
edit: I'm particularly interested in the megas. I understand the current mega kings are Gyarados and Mence. But I'm interested to know how Pokebank would change that.
Is it too early to start seeking good switcheroo/trick users that are viable in the current singles meta?
i have a 6 iv Tapu Koko...with a brave nature :(. Any ideas for a good set to make this useful in battle spot singles?
