My Personal Thoughts on the Meta:
These were gigantic shifts, I wonder what the meta will look like.
- Already a potent threat in the regular metagame, can wall out almost all physical threats here.
- Fat blob sponge attacks go brr. I feel like it'll just be outclassed by other walls like Corsola-G and Corviknight, but it definitely has potential.
-
Another stall Pokemon in the meta. We needed one of those.
-
PLEASE STOP

- This will definitely be good with all the stall roaming around, plus it was already good in an offensive meta months before.
- This could potentially be another stall Pokemon but it also can be quite a good offensive Pokemon. It may even get banned again.
- Probably won't see as much glory as how it was a couple months ago but still a potent threat nonetheless.
- A really strong hitter and potentially can break through a ton of the meta, looking at the above^^
- Same as above.
- Another great wallbreaker, I can see it using Substitute again to get through Corsola-G and the likes.
- probably won't be good at all but haha libero go brr
- Does its normal Iron Defense + Body Press strategy, but now, with way less Dragon-types and Fairy-types to threaten it! This will be a beast, for sure.
- This might be a really good mon ngl idk
- Really good since Fairies aren't that abundant in the meta. Nasty Plot + Attacks are super powerful and Specs / Scarf are also quite clean.
not saying any of the pokemon i didn't put on here were bad, but just these were the ones i were most excited about (other than the stall >:|)
Everyone:
