BU> NFE Council has decided to quickban Shadow Tag, Doublade, Rhydon, and Type: Null

[SPOILER="Shadow Tag"]
Shadow Tag, which is notoriously known to be one of the most uncompetitive abilities Pokemon has ever had, has been banned from NFE. Its main abuser, Gothorita, has varying sets that allow it to trap in enemies creating easy win conditions in a manner that is too effective for the metagame to handle. An example of this is its Choice Scarf + Trick set that traps many common Pokemon such as Gurdurr / Galarian-Corsola / Ferroseed and proceeds to set up on them and win. Other than this, it can trap away important checks to very strong powerhouses, such as Farfetch'd to stop Drakloak, Mareanie to stop Raboot, etc. With this in mind, the council has determined this ability to be too powerful for the NFE metagame, and banned it.
[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER="Doublade"]
Doublade is heavily known for it's incredible bulk, and it continues to luster as one of the best pokemon metagame due to this and it's incredible offensive toolkit. Shadow Sneak lets it bypass it's pitiful speed, while it's incredible bulk allows it to safely use Iron Head and Sacred Sword to handle other threats. It's few checks are easily tarnished and blasted through after minor chip due to its incredible base 110 attack. With this in mind, Doublade was unanimously voted to Quickban.
[/SPOILER]

[SPOILER="Rhydon"]
Rhydon is a terrifying beast of a wallbreaker, notoriously known for smashing everything and then some with its powerful double dance set, capable of ripping the tier in two. With it's incredible STAB coverage in edgequake, and disgustingly powerful stats, alongside its massive physical bulk giving it more than ample setup opportunity, this monster is far too much for the NFE metagame.
[/SPOILER]

[Spoiler=”Type: Null”]
Despite having lost Return and Pursuit, Type: Null more or less functions the same way it functioned in early SM NFE, as bulky blanket check to most of the metagames threats, including Haunter and Galarian Mr. Mime. 95 for every stat  (except for speed but Type: Null on a whole other level compared other NFE pokemon. Even Fighting-Types like Gurdurr and Machoke are unable to beat Type: Null thanks to Iron Defense and Type: Null’s ability Battle Armor preventing it from being critted. Additionally, Type: Null is able to PP stall ghost types such as Corsola thanks to Rest.
