DrednawBan. Drednaw is way too good under rain and answers are incredibly limited defensively. In addition, rain is flexible in what it can prep for offensively, which makes it quite difficult to sufficiently prep for. As others noted, Drednaw makes rain way too good and lacks counterplay in of itself. Removing Drednaw should make rain much easier to prepare for as nothing else can replicate or come close to it offensivelyBan. Under rain, every mon outside of Palpitoad is one shot by Drednaw after a Swords Dance. The offensive counterplay is lackluster, relying on priorities such as FI Falinks once Drednaw is weaken, grassy glide grookey or fringe options such as Golduck, scarf boltund, or drednaw scarf itself. The restriction it forces to the teambuilding makes structures less viable, more frail and contributes to make the tier more match up based and therefore less competitive. For these reasons, Drednaw should be banned from ZU Ban. Drednaw is just way too hard to answer offensively and defensively under rain making teams run stuff like scarf swift swim mons or just running Palpitoad on every team. Even non-dedicated terrain teams have been considering Grookey which just goes beyond what is considered healthy imoBan. It ultimately takes too big of a chunk out of most teams and defensive cores, and facilitates a playstyle, rain, which got a lot more buffs than nerfs as of late. Not every team can have Palpitoad, and not every game promises safe switch-ins to Grookey or Choice Scarf Manetric to revenge kill. The meta is still too limited for a healthy amount of checks to keep Drednaw in the tier; for naw at least. To me, this isn't as much of a rash vote as Drednaw has been in the tier for the while, and we've all had ample playtesting to see how destructive it is. Ban. I think i've been already very vocal about this one. Drednaw after an SD under Rain barely has checks since only Palpitoad and Hakamo-o can survive a hit (the latter being niche) and offensive checks are just Grookey, Scarf Manectric and Swift Swim Scarfers that can be easily abused by Drednaw teammates as they have to lock themselves into moves that have immunity. Getting an SD under Rain with Drednaw isn't that hard either as Rain has numerous options to bring Drednaw safely on the field, between suicide lead Relicanth, Flip Turn Golduck, Teleport Wigglytuff and Volt Switch Electric-types.
