Shadow Tag + Hypnosis was banned after realizing how broken and uncompetitive it is.The problem is so widespread that the official Ubers usage rankings have to exclusively use tournaments for stats because otherwise the most used mons would be stuff that doesnt remotely work in the tier. While the rare good player can run absurd picks and actually do pretty well on the ladder, theyre so few and far in between that encounters with such players a team isnt a sign of anything but an easy win. Conversely, players who use teams of full of non-legendary mons (at least, ones that are viable in the tier and not Regigigas and the like) tend to be looked down on in Ubers or Anything Goes, as very, very little of what isnt legendary are useable at all in the tiers note and even then, most of what is good tends to be defensive in nature, as Ubers mons do offence better, much to the annoyance of players who enjoy the tier for the mons who actually are viable in it.On Showdown! specifically, Legendary spammers (users of the battle simulator whose only strategy is to fill their team with overpowered Olympus Mons and have a reputation for being incredibly arrogant and whining about their opponents "cheating" if they get beaten) are a target of mockery.However, the power creep eventually caught up with the move to the point that the strategy ended up banned across all non-Ubers tiers.
