Just here to drop my 2 cents, typing from mobile so I will write it short and summarised.
First of all I want to say I agree with Dream Eater Gengar and his arguements, I don't think hoopa is broken at all on dark. But on the other side what do we lose by banning it? Eien made a great point saying Hoopa isn't really always doing what it supposed to do on dark. Fighting has adapted to Hoopa and Fairy can wall choice locked Hoopa with Klefki since Hoopa runs no coverage for that on dark.
Now let's see Hoopa on psychic. How many teams run Hoopa only because it is so strong, especialy the specs set? How many people wanted to run a scarfed Gardevoir but chose Hoopa because there is no drawback? How many run Hoopa because they really need it?
I myself was against a Hoopa ban in the beginning, but I realised the metagame will become so much healthier without it. We will finally see some creativity and innovation on psychic teams and I believe dark will struggle only against water, but it usually lost to Swift Swim anyway.
