This meta is toxic as heck early on right now. Team building is a chore with all these broken mons running around right now. Aegislash is one of my all time favorite pokemon, but it is beyond broken. There is no such thing as a team that can't run this. Heck, every team SHOULD run this, and if you don't the team is not optimized. Only Bisharp is a good check, but it gets blown back by fighting coverage if Aegi is running it. Yeah it checks all the good new mons, but that is hardly a reason to have it in the meta. Get rid of it.
Ditto fot Genesect. I don't understand how it keeps coming back each gen when Bug/Steel is one of the best defensive typings in the game. Its coverage is insane, and with all the new fairies running around, will be even more damaging to the meta. This mon is and will always be broken until they make 7 more Heatrans.
That brings us to the Broken Beasts... Personally, I think almost all of them are going to have an adverse effect on the meta eventually outside Nihilego and Guzzlord. However, I will save this spot for the two that are serious problems right now. Pheromosa and Kartana. Phero is ultra brain dead the champion. Come in, and U-Turn to counters till it can spam HJK. Pair this with Bisharp or Weavile and Tapu Koko or Xurkitree, and those "counters" just die. When Aegislash is inevitably banished where he belongs, this thing gets even nastier. This thing is a toxic dump waiting to explode. Getting rid of it at the same time as Aegi is probably ideal.
Now Kartana is just stupid. Sits there with its dumb as hell high attack with crazy good coverage and decent speed and starts murdering everything. After a single boost not a whole lot is going to stop it. It breaks down walls so fast that a defensive core on a team has limited switch in ability. If this thing has a problem, it can just switch out itself into its help that handle all its checks, which are not a whole lot due to its fantastic coverage options.
When these four are removed from the meta, I think it will start settling nicely, and we can slowly see how the meta will evolve properly.
