National Dex Leader
Hello everyone—if you’ve been on the NDOU ladder recently, odds are you’ve seen or heard about the user “vaicragsramo” and their now infamous team with Flygon.

Essentially, they have been using an exploit that allows the ability held by Trapinch, Arena Trap, to somehow become usable on Flygon and leading to uncompetitive gameplay that harms the competitiveness of the tier. Unfortunately, after careful consideration amongst council and discussion with devs—we have found there is no way to patch this exploit, leading to us having to ban the Flygon line from NatDex OU until a solution can be found. Tagging Runo and seth to implement.

Given some of our users affinity for the Pokemon in this line, we have decided to promote Vibrava’s biggest advocate omarsgarciav to Tier Leader as consolation, congrats!

(for legal reasons this is a shitpost besides the last paragraph)
