Gems were banned from BW OU but due to how old gen tiering works they are only banned from BW OU and not any other tiers. Gems will still be legal in BW PU at this time.
The PU Council has quickbanned Guzzlord. Because this happened after the week started, Guzzlord will be allowed this week and banned starting next week. Gen 8 PU games should be played in NU instead for this week.
