Gah, now my rain team won't function right; thank goodness for Tornadus, though, who nobody in their right mind or doing some badass prediction would swap Snover into.
Uh, I can see Kingdra not faring well in this metagame, especially with the neutral STAB blizzards that are going to be thrown around. Its Rain Dance set especially will be neutered, which is going to force Specs or DD, both of which are markedly inferior in terms of versatility and sheer destructive damage output.
I think hail will be an interesting balancing factor in this HO meta, as Spikestacking Hail Stall is still going to be annoying, though not nearly as much as it used to be, due to the loss of so much and the dropping of powerful fighting-types like Scrafty, Mienshao, and especially Cobalion.
I'm not entirely sure I'll enjoy the stall metagame, but unfortunately my opinions don't count worth crap in this. Oh well. Might as well enjoy this while it lasts.
