Ok so its been a long time since i made a post like this so feel free to correct me if im wrong anywhere.I've read through a few ban posts in this thread, the argument is that it is too restrictive the builder and that's you need a fairy or steel to check it. Linearity should not be a problem imo, that's a good thing. There are a few sets that can beat some steels like band with Metagross since nobody runs wp anymore:( and focus energy to beat Corviknight lmao. Band is usable but idk so much about focus energy, but again like mentality said thay have opportunity costs like Both of them losing to mons like raging bolt (unless ur fast but imo band should run bulk for volcarona), landot, Band Hoodra, Dragapult, Garchomp and more because it is not running haban.
2nd thing I'd like to point out is that Steels and Fairies are gonna be spammed if drago goes or not. They are still really good types in the tier even if there is no drago and for good reason. I think we should all stop pretending like we'll stop spamming fairies and steels if drago goes lol. I am pretty sure the 6v6 tiering system(which 1v1 follows) does not tier based on building creativity. I'm not going against creativity but similar to the mons that are bad because Regidrago, there are a few mons that have a niche for beating drago and the top tiers, like band ttar (which doesn't beat crown F).
Like mentality said there are non fairy or steel pokemon like Tyranitar, Chansey, Espathra Glastrier,Gyarados and more that barely see tour usage. There are also underrated Pokemon that are fairy or steel type that people don't use such as tinkaton, empoleon,magnezone who beat regidrago. If people want so much builder creativity, then why do they choose Regidrago beaters like Metagross,Ival and Corviknight over the mons I just listed. I understand there are some hitlists ival can solve and tink can't, vise versa,but we should not talk so much about builder creativity and wantedly choose top tier Fairies over mons like Espathra as our Regirago answers on our team.
In the end I think that we should be voting DNB on Regidrago as it does not
warp the teambuilder and serves as one of the main answers to Pokemon like Hoopa-U.

in my PFP) and figure out its niche of beating a majority of Dragons and Fairies and Darks, which sounds "simple" being a Fairy type, but most of these types have a secondary typing like Raging Bolt that would annihilate NORMAL attempts to beat them.
