Ok so its time for some Fyfyy Sauce.
First of all, Kyogre is pretty decent in the meta. I saw the previous discussion and no one actually discussed about how Landorus-I pairs so well with it. Sandsear Storm is amazing, checking Miraidon and Sludge Bomb checking mons that Terastalize into Fairy is insane. Great synergy with Farigiraf and enabling Urshifu-R is so good. A lot of teams have started utilising Grimmsnarl to set up screens and Urshifu-R with Tera Water Surging Strikes in Rain is a great way to handle such cores. It was pretty early ladder but hit 1st and Top 10 in BO3 earlier as well and the team did put in some work.
A few Pokemon (asides Restricteds) which I feel would be really good in this meta -
Tornadus - Tornadus has become such an important piece in the meta, providing Tailwind, Weather Control, Taunt and good STAB in Bleakwind Storm which does good chip damage and becomes really consistent with Rain. Still does the same job but its importance seems to have increased a lot, fueling the early meta HO teams to great success.
Kingambit - I cannot stress how insane Kingambit matches up well into the metagame. Assault Vest Set with Tera Fairy Tera Blast, Iron Head is such great coverage. It brilliantly checks both Calyrex forms, Koraidon , Miraidon after it Terastalizes and has a great matchup into Raging Bolt and Lunala as well. I can see it becoming a mainstream set soon. Overall in a brilliant position in the metagame and is set for success.
Farigiraf - The giraffe strikes back, one of the top Trick Room Setters, immunity to Calyrex-S Astral Barrage is insane.
Stopping Fake Out from the most prominent Pokemon in Incineroar and RIllaboom is pretty important, has a good movepool that helps it do well. Imprison is something niche which I can see becoming mainstream, a good way for HO teams to check Calyrex-I Trick Room Cores.
