The Monotype Council has voted on the second round of Quick Bans for the Teal Mask Metagame. As a reminder, since there were 9 voters this round, the quickban threshold will be 7/9. Inversely we are going to be using a simple majority (5/9 votes) to unban.
As a result of our most recent discussion, Annihilape has been banned from Monotype.
Tagging Kris and Marty to implement!
Annihilape Annihilape easily annihilates other teams, with phenomenal bulk, access to Bulk Up, stallbreaking with Taunt, and becoming unwallable with Rage Fist. It can easily ensure all this because Drain Punch allows it to stay healthy throughout the match. The only Pokemon that are capable of easily breaking past it are faster and are stronger special attackers such as Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Zapdos. Which can be easily handled by its solid teammates on Fighting and Ghost teams such as Zamazenta and Gholdengo. Overall, Rage Fist ended up making it broken so Annihilape was banned as a result.
Booster Energy Booster Energy boosts too many Paradox Pokemon over the edge, we will revisit this decision in DLC 2.
Razor Fang Same effects as King's Rock, its being banned under same clause.
Following this we will be releasing a survey soon, there might be more rounds of voting following this. Looking forward to everyones thoughts!
