Should this be added to the \\\"in-game\\\" section? I noticed most of this page is based on what is encountered and the subculture when playing Pokémon Showdown rather than the official games. Since the official games have pretty different rules, most notably the pick-3/pick-4 system, they cause certain mechanics to be less important or more important than others (entry hazards are rare even in single battles, for instance, whereas Pokémon with glaring weaknesses are found more often due to not having to pick them for battle), and accordingly, Pokémon deemed to be overpowered or underpowered in one set of rules might not be seen the same way in the other.
For instance, Dracovish and Galarian Darmanitan are both banned on Smogon but were not overcentralizing enough to be as common as any of the above-mentioned Pokémon. Neither of them respond to Dynamax very well, and both are dependent on Choice items, which are riskier in Battle Spot Ranked rules due to there being much fewer options to switch (and thus the drawbacks are heavier--Life Orb and Focus Sash are generally preferred over the Choice items).
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
