2 words : ban greninja.
thank youMeowscarada doesn't have as much powerful options as the others, Cinderace has extremely powerful moves with high base power that it can make overwhelming by turning into STAB and Greninja has too much variety which makes it one of the best Pokémon on preview.
Meowscarada's physical movepool isn't so extensive, running STAB moves, Giga Impact and one of it's limited coverage as a moveset. It also uses a Substitute Leech Seed set which plays into it's Protean ability, allowing it to be a Normal-type which can be useful sometimes.
Meowscarada has limits and weaknesses. Greninja however, has way too many different type options which can make it insane on preview and Cinderace has great utility with Will O Wisp and has generally high base power moves. Think Pyro Ball, Gunk Shot, High Jump Kick.
Meta is really really fresh, i think the best you can do is signup to tutoring hereAre their some documentations about the current meta after HOME?
I want to learn it but have a hard time to start.
Hollup lemme get this rightI just wanted to make a rant about the current metagame in Sv 1v1.
I played 1v1 lt and kick off tour, and i made an observation: People are playing 6 mons in the metagame :
- valiant
- regidrago
- walking wake
- hoopa
- gholdengo
- volcanion
It means that, in EVERY GAME i played, there was at least one of these mon in each opponent team.
And i see a lot of drago/ ghold/volcanion teams.
But the issue is bigger, the core drago + gholdengo covers nearly all metagame.
(You just have to bring a meow and band haxorus counter in third slot.)
Thus, players have to bring one fairy and one fire/dark everytime, which limits the metagame and the creativity.
I tried to bring ideas like av bundle, av moltres or dondozo but it s impossible to win with regidrago and gholdengo everywhere + iron valiant which is annoying af cause it can run tons of sets (unpredictable).
So yeah, instead of suspecting only hoopa, which for me is not the most broken mon, maybe suspecting several mons like gholdengo in first, and then regidrago.
You will say " no cause regidrago is free lose vs fairies" , but the problem is that fairies are the only answers to beat it, (with unnerve haxorus) , then you just have to bring a steel mon which beat fairies and haxorus like balloon gholdengo or a shit like that.
These mons centralize too much metagame, and if you want to enjoy watching some SV1V1 PL games, just do something.
I guess we dont want to see 5 mons in entire sv pl.
People want to be surprised, they want creativity, I think this is the best way to have a good PL (or tours, in general).
So please, ban some mons before PL and not only hoopa, to enable players to bring new sets, cause the meta is unhealthy af.
Dude i m playing home for 1 month now and i'm already done.
Open your eyes, Hoopa ban will solve nothing, people will continue to spam broken mons without brain.
Let people who want bringing new mon, new sets in the aim of extending the metagame, cause it's catastrophic rn and i think i'm not the only one who thinks that, and not the only one too who is already bored of this fuckin meta.
i didnt know that my faultRegidrago was good last gen as well lmao, also lack of good fairies changes the math on regidrago potentially (Ftr I have no opinion on regidrago) but saying regidrago sucked last gen is just factually incorrect; there were even some people who wanted it banned iirc for being too overcentralizing although that obviously didn’t end up happening
If ghold runs the old max defense weakness policy set it always beats hax and coinflips adamant band meow. Overall the meta is very centralized with all the mons you listed making it very annoying to build without using any of them.But the issue is bigger, the core drago + gholdengo covers nearly all metagame.

1v1 PL is ending in a week or two so you'll probably be able to find some in the sets and teams thread when people start posting and I can send a fewwhere i can get more teams apart from the sample ones?
