Some important notes: Pokémon Home is now in effect!
In OU Melmetal and Black Kyurem are banned
Ubers, UU, and RU will also function exactly how it is on ladder
DOU is more of a unique situation. The dou council has voted to
ban jirachi, Marshadow, and Black Kyurem and thus they are all banned from this tour even though the dou ladder has not yet been updated with the bans. Also,
Terrakion may not be used on any team where a Pokémon knows the move Beat Up. Many in the dou community have commented on how beat up teams have improved substantially in gen8, and now that the best justified abuser in doubles is back and has made beat up teams extremely toxic. For this reason I believe it is best for the competition to simply ban the use of Terrak with beat up. Of course you can still use your pre-home beat up teams if you wish. All of these bans will be revisited in the next round after the tier councils have more time to decide on how the formats should move forward.
NOTE: Melmetal is now allowed!!!!! It seems like it'll be a month or two before mel gets suspected because beatup is the bigger priority rn. Also people keep asking me for dou teams for their games, and I only have like one post-home team without melmetal lol
