In the bigger official event ones usually I think there's no pokemon banned? Not sure. But I think some tournaments that's not as big have some bans.
Also I heard butlyr found some shiny ghost *cough cough*
Depends on the rules set up, they do restrict moves and certain pkmn:
e.g.:
-The following Pokémon cannot be used in this competition: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Chatot, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon
Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom
Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect
-Pokémon may not use the move Sky Drop or Dark Void during battle
And sometimes they don't restrict any PKMN at all, and I believe the general battles doesn't restrict anything, there's no so called "tiers" in the official tournaments.
And he didn't fine one, he bred one after 10 boxes so he says. Except it didn't get nice iv bonus.
