Here's what needs to be asked. Besides those who directly [work with/ benefit from] any weather conditions, what are some dominating or just plain decent Pokemon that are seeing much use in the standard game right now? What new Pokemon have given you trouble and what returning Pokemon are still great assets to any competitive team? I still feel we are focusing on weather too much as we don't even know how the oncoming weeks or months will be for the standard game, as it's currently very unstable and imbalanced.
To answer my own question above, there's heavy usage of specific Pokemon such as Roobushin (Physically based fighter with a powered up priority attack), Burungeru (a Specially bulky Rapid Spin blocker who can burn Physical attackers and has access to instant Recovery), and Nattorei (very bulky Grass/Steel Pokemon which sets up entry hazards and is surprisingly effective and difficult to take down without any Fire moves)to name a few. As of right now, they provide consistant support for their own teams and provide consistant annoyance for unprepared opposing teams. I feel our future Caps should definitely be built in this mindset, with more realistic (and deeper) issues such as this. How can they effectively take on these Pokemon?
