How are you getting 21 mons? Even by counting every Pokémon and its mega twice I'm getting to only 17 by including all the Galar starters, Golisopod, Tatsugiri, Salamence, Dondozo and Heatran.

It didn't though

In theory yes, in practice for this to hold you need to avoid taking Stealth Rocks damage, and avoid having your item revealed by other means (including Knock Off, and obviously items like Leftovers automatically reveal themselves while others like Choice Specs can be easily inferred by damage...

I mean, Levitate is already a fairly hard ability to bluff because of the Spikes immunity, which is also the whole reason why it would be picked over Earth Eater. So in a average game Levitate/Eelevate on a Gholdengo or something will probably be revealed by the lack of Spikes damage long before...

Short answer: no Long answer: banning a certain set-up move is generally a easy way to make some mons balanced, for example banning Dragon Dance from Roaring Moon, Quiver Dance from Volcarona or even Swords Dance from Chien-Pao in SV, or Nasty Plot from Mega Alakazam in Champions, probably makes...
