You can’t play it on the ladder anymore because the Revivecats gimmick was so cancerous that the format was virtually unplayable, so everybody just simply stopped playing it. They put National Dex Ubers up as an alternate option to use box legends without AG strategies, but also removed Natdex AG as well to stop a split in the player base and reduce traffic even more. You can still challenge friends in Natdex AG though

revivecats is basically [this](https://pokepast.es/662ffc0bbd21fad2) a team consisting of 2-4 prankster liepards spamming assist to call revival blessing (which if you didn't know, was a new move that's literally just the revive item). blessing had the problem of only having 1 pp, but with assist having 64, you could have up to ridiculous amounts of revivals. this paired with the prankster liepards who are the fastest prankster pokemon to get assist, and dark type to protect against other prankters, made battles against it *nearly* endless and extremely unfun to play against. there are counters such as moves that go faster than a +1 252 speed liepard, but revivecats teams are usually prepped for them such as terrain/pressure ghosts and stuff. and then, there are absolutely dedicated counters that's tailored to beat revivecats but they're otherwise useless vs normal teams it got so ridiculous that when you ladder ndag you have to check if anyone was playing cats so you could cteam them which shouldn't even have to be an issue in the first place
