Would it be correct to assume that rest would not be touched, as its version of the sleep status is mechanically different from other forms of sleep? (I.e. it’s self afflicted, and it always has 3 sleep turns, therefore not being RNG based in any way)This would be incredibly arbitrary and specified. BW OU already encountered a similar dynamic and banned all of the sleep moves, so if any blanket ban would be considered, it would not be arbitrary and it would be all-encompassing.
That’s not me saying this option will happen, but your post claiming it is the best option is incorrect.
I'm less familiar with modern BW OU, so I don’t know what all is banned there.
Either way I’m on board with a sleep ban, as someone who has been very vocal against sleep clauses current implementation since last gen.
