Surely we can't just keep spamming tests for a mon that keeps getting voted OU because we aren't happy with the result right? This was voted on 4 months ago, in case anyone forgot.
I normally don't venture into these parts but I've been informed of potential bracket issues so...
Please do not play any matches until hosts say so. Your win may be invalidated if you do.

ban wrap (and others?) and you don't need a fight button, just saying
