Hope all is well and that you guys are enjoying the new update. With the update we got some nice new Pokémon, but one stood out from the rest and that was Darkrai.
We in the PvP council have come to an agreement that Darkrai should be banned with immediate effect.
We Strongly believe that it would have a negative impact on current PBO Meta, as we dont have nearly enough checks to it to maintain a healthy Meta. Access to a vast move pool and staggering 125 speed and 135 sp atk its nigh impossible to deal with it. Its signature move (Dark Void) and ability (Bad Dreams) is also a huge reason as to why we think it should be banned, even without Dark Void it gets access to Hypnosis as well. Sleep got banned in gen9 and Darkrai was a huge reason as to why it happened. We feel with all these tools it has we couldn't allow it to be introduced into the OU Meta.
Once we get access to more Pokémon that can deal with it in a healthy way, we will revisit this case.
Also, I have received a few pms in here and ingame about what they believe should be banned / unbanned while i have nothing against and try to relay all the messages to the PvP council. It would better serve the community if you would post in the https://discord.com/channels/309968829226811402/813141119986303067 so the whole community can get involved and discuss things.
Hope you all have a great day.
