In wich tier will it be played?

[stephenWITNESS]

@Spyro190 there's no tiers in mono type. We are allowing players to use 2 restricted Psychic legendaries on their team unlike in Smogon.

@wartty that's a really good point! I think it should be banned because it being a psychic type depends on how much hp it has left. Thanks for the heads up
