Nat Dex OU & Nat Dex Ubers:
- Regenerator Ability Limit: 1
We're limiting the amount of regenerator pokemon to prevent stall in gyms.
- Banned the held item Legend Plate
Pretty simple it's a broken held item that acts like Gen6 Protean.
- Removed the Clause: Item Clause
This is so you can use multiple choice bands or scarfs.
- Choice held Item limit: 2
We don't want people to bring in a full team of choice items.
- Healing held Item limit: 2
Basically the same thing for choice item limit and so people don't stall out a fight for 80 turns.
- You can only use a max of 3 Healing Moves
We're limiting the amount of healing status moves to prevent stall.
- Exotic Arceus must be be announced to the Challenger/Gym Leader
You can barely see the typing on all 3 Exotics.
- Removed 80 turn limit
Since we limited the amount of stall it's not point of having this.
- You can only have 1 primal/ultra burst pokemon per team.
We didn't want challengers to bring primal groudon and kyogre and ultra necrozma on a team.

Nat Dex OU:
- Banned the abilities: Protean, Libero and supreme overlord
This is a pretty simple ban both abilities are still not changed to the updated ability in Scarlet and Violet.
Since National Dex OU Unbanned Kingambit we thought to ban one of it's abilities for the time being.
- Legend Limit: 2
We want to encourage players to use different verity of pokemon but not spam a gym with 6+ Legends.

Nat Dex Ubers:
- Legend Limit: 3

Gym Leader exclusive rules:
- Nat Dex OU 4v4 Gym leaders can have up to 2 substitute Pokémon.
Since you have 2 free slots in your party this will give gym leader to switch up their team a little bit!
