You can feel the difference between Gen 6 and 7 format by looking at the title of the tier itself. An ORAS Ubers tournament would simply appear as "Ubers Single Elimination" while one in Sun and Moon would appear as "[Gen 7] Ubers Single Elimination."Lately the monotype room has been hosting a few gen-6 tournaments in gen7 ubers format, which allows the use of mega stones that are currently unavailable in gen7. However, there are some mechanic differences- Dark types and prankster, the way speed ability changes is handled on megas, and a few other ones that affect a smaller number of users (In my case, gen 6 knock off would activate kee berry's effect, while gen7 knock off removes the item with no activation, this also applies to rocky helmet procs).
Is there any plans to move gen 6 tournies in the mono room to a gen6 format?
I know that doing so in the simulator's current state would cause conflicts with lando-Incarnate, deoxys speed, and other mono approved mons due to the gen6 OU white list. Still, I largely find the mechanic changes to be a more annoying compromise than the inadvertent removal of a few mons.
