- ---Made by Rhydonphilip and his obsessive behaviour
- Small notes about some top tier threats:
- -Accelgor, having a buffed special attack this generation, acces to Z-moves like Z-final Gambit(180 Base fight move that doesn't kill you) OR Focus Blast. With 145 base speed this pokemon outspeeds even some of the Scarf users in this metagame.
- It also gets some irritating moves such as Encore and Me First.
- -Kartana; while it on paper seems broken. In practice the only thing worry some about this pokemon is when you give it a chance to do something. thanks to it's 4x fire weakness and the majority of faster pokemon being special based this shouldn't be broken. It should however have massive influence over the way the metagame has to go.
- -Rotom-W/H; Rotom once again makes the metagame bend to how it wants it to go with reliable Electric/Water or powerfull Electric/Fire coverage. These pokemon can reliably check down Azumarill, Marowak-Alola or check on Sun teams, Grass types and even Electric types.
- For once Rotom-H outshines Rotom-W
- -Torkoal; Weather forcast suggests a massive amount of sunlight with a little bit of Prankster rain. Torkoal has the stats to counteract Kartana, abuse Trick Room and with the right partner can even utilize After Me -> Eruption. A threat you should most certainly consider.
- -Porygon2/Aromatisse; reliable Trick Room users exist in this metagame and any team that wants to do well has to prepair for them one way or another. Either you bring your own Trick Room or you utilize more direct methodes such as Taunt, Strong Offense or just bring a randome Trick Room user yourself to return the room to normal.
