I understand that certain Pokemon do not have their hidden abilities yet, but shouldn't Pokemon that are in USUM have access to their hidden abilities? Like, Cinderace shouldn't have Libero, and Clefable can't have unaware in Galar, but shouldn't Clefable be allowed to have unaware in national dex? It gets unaware in USUM, and since all USUM Pokemon are available, unaware Clefable should be available.
Am I missing something? Is this perhaps an error on the ladder?

Every random battle mon has to get set conditions made from scratch. Even if progress were to start right now it would take a good multiple weeks, and I don't think people have actually begun making sets yet.
These are both bugs that will hopefully be fixed soon
I may be missing some people, but NDAG‘s council is probably Megazard and Pigeons. NDOU’s council is Funbot28 and power.
How will a potential Dynamax ban in regional OU affect NatDex OU?
Unreleased mons are just that, unreleased. Which is to say there's no way to legitimately obtain them in game yet. Illegal mons are either banned or impossible (conflict between moves and/or abilities, or it simply knows moves it shouldn't).
Ah, ok. I was just a little confused, since I got data like types for Unreleased but got a banned icon for Illegal. Thanks.
Chansey can learn teleport in the VC RBY, so it should be compatible with softboiled but not natural cure.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason the room on PS is currently private? I admittedly know nothing of the process that makes a room private or public or whatever, but I think a public room would be great for exposure of the metagame and the private room isn't super active. It's a damn shame because this is by far my favorite Gen 8 metagame and I want it explored to it's highest potential.
Iirc all new rooms start out as private. I don’t know the process of becoming public though.
This isnt entirely true, rooms like ZU were public immediately even while it's not a "real tier"
It seems entirely arbitrary, honestly.
What is considered "showing interest"? I've seen many people on the Ubers room wanting National Dex for it (including me), but I have no ideia what would be considered supporting it in this case
Do we need to start playing NDOU for it to be considered "interest"? Without tiering and with dynamax still there someone like me would have little appetite for it. But I would love to play NatDex once that changes.
There's already natdex AG. Between that and Ubers, only one was permitted existence.
So, just confirming, is that "there's no way National Dex Ubers will happen" or "National Ubers probably won't happen due to AG already existing"? Because, between Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Mega Rayquaza, Moody, Baton Pass, and even possibly other bans like Dynamax due to Xerneas and others, those two play quite differently, although I would assume due to both kinda assuming the "less restrictive meta" meta position.
