Added my 2 cents to the convo as well. Might get ourselves a discussion going :p Spread the love people

Honestly, I'm with pqs on removing species clause. Like, the main "problem" is that its just the same mon over and over again, but think about if for a second. If NO SINGLE MON can beat the 3 variants of it, then either the mon is a problem, or the mon has a lot of versatility. Example: Valiant...
