Regieleki’s Scarlet and Violet power leads to day-one restrictions for competitive play
A lot of familiar faces have made their way to the Paldea region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet thanks to the new Pokémon HOME update, and they’re already started shaking things up on the competitive side this week.
VGC players are safe for now since the current Regulation C format will last another month, but a quick decision was already made in the popular Smogon single battle format—Regieleki is officially banned from the OU tier following a May 31 vote.
