Announcement Evasion Bans

Evasion abilities and moves have been banned (Sand Veil and Snow Cloak), along with the move Acupressure.

As I mentioned in the metagame thread, evasion is uncompetitive in every sense. As a player you have no way of accounting for possible dodges in weather, and this goes against our tiering policy. In fact it is explicitly listed that evasion is too much against the whole ‘probability management is a part of the game’ idea and it has been removed in tiering policy for being past that point, which holds true in monotype as well. Acupressure is a move that can increase evasion at random, removing skill from the sequences and thus falls under the same tiering policy.

Council has unanimously voted to ban Sand Veil, Snow Cloak, and Acupressure.

Tagging Kris and Marty to implement the 3 bans, thank you.
