The competitive gaming platform Smogon has banned Regieleki, a legendary Electric-type monster, from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet due to its intimidating offensive presence and combination of Electric STAB and Tera Ice Blast. Regieleki is the fastest Pokemon in the dex and was deemed "beyond broken" in online play. The move to ban Regieleki was largely praised by the Reddit Stunfisk forum, which discussed Pokemon competitive play.
