Azumarill was swapped out for Diggersby because Diggersby would give her more type coverage in all starter choice situations (whereas Azumarill's typing may potentially be completely redundant if Kyung-ah has Hurricrane)

Its primary Achilles heel is Grass-type moves because the Sound and Light types are both weak to Grass, and therefore it has a 4x weakness to Grass and its STABs get walled by Grass-types, but it may be way too centralizing in singles regardless
October 25, 2024 at 4:24 AM
it saddens me to say this but one of the pseudo-legendaries of the region, Solaria, has 97/80/100 defensive stats and 145 Sp. Atk and 138 Speed and a passive boost to its sound-based moves, there is no way that thing would be allowed in OU

Regulation L would return to Reg B format (Ultra Beasts legal) but with the full Pokedexes of the base game and DLCs, then Regulation M would be the dual restricted format
October 25, 2024 at 4:17 AM
Then when hypothetical DLC drops:

DLC wave 1 Regulations E-G would return to all special Pokemon being banned, then release UBs and sub-legendaries, and then single restricted format again

And then repeat for Regulations H-K for DLC wave 2
