Reasoning: Cleaning up the tier in preparation for Natdex Camo Seasonal, we took decision on several pokemon. Iron Valiant and Iron Boulder had presented themselves both as major threats with Booster Energy Speed. However, these were far from the only sets, as they also both had presented themselves as potential threats with Z-Move sets that can muscle past bulkier checks while still being respectably fast unboosted. This combined with the lack of other volatile abusers of booster energy at the moment is why we decided to ban these two pokemon instead of mirroring the Booster Energy ban of base Camomons. Mega Metagross is another pokemon we took a look at. Hanging on by a thread when Natdex Camomons was originally brought to gen 9, it proved to be incredibly dangerous after returning in gen 9 proper with a slew of new moves, most importantly, the incredibly powerful Knock Off with the Indigo Disk, This and other moves being far more incredible since they were never intended to exist alongside Mega Metagross, who's tough claws makes every move boosted by it a valid, hard hitting option. Finally, we voted on Drednaw, who is not only a potentially powerful Swift Swimmer, but more importantly, White Herb Shell Smash sets proved potentially devastating on screens, able to run dark/poison with a strong jaw boosted crunch to hit hilariously hard while gaining tons of resistances and only having one weakness to make it surprisingly hard to revenge kill under screens. However, it avoided the ban slate this time due to still being relatively lowkey in gen 9 Natdex Camo and not consistently proving its balance or lack thereof in the metagame, while the others have been consistent performers as long as they've existed in the metagame.
