I think that we can all be quite happy with the way the meta is looking atm.
Skill Link may seem strong right now, but I do believe that given another few days the meta will have adapted to it and shifted again. I've been quite impressed with how dynamic this meta is and how quickly it can shift with modifications to counter and accomodate for growing trends.
I mean Skill Link rose to fame because of the power of Multiscale and Sturdy. Stamina got more usage because of Skill Link, and then because of that Skill Link + Unaware became a common offensive core.
Now that Skill Link teams are running Unaware, they are actually extremely one dimensional and I'm sure if people put more thought into it they'd find some strong counters pretty quick. I mean your team is obviously gonna be running Skill Link / Adaptability / Technician, now you're throwing in Unaware, next you probably need Dazzling, and most round it out with Magic Guard to run Focus Sashes and protect Mega Bee and Cloyster from SR in particular. So the Skill Link / Technician / Adaptability combo is the only damage boosting on the team and is only fully effective on 3 moves dispersed between 3 pokemon, Mega Bee's Pin Missile, Cloyster's Icicle Spear, and Ambipom/Cinccino's Tail Slap. I'm struggling to see how we can't find counters to that, heard of Steel types?
Already we are starting to see more and more of the Doublade + Durant core. As No Guard + Hustle is a very effective core and the two pose a great threat to Skill Link teams as Doublade counters Mega Bee and co while Durant can often sponge a hit or out speed with Scarf and break through them.
Also note that the bans to speed boosting abilities including Quick Feet, Unburden and Weak Armor were still very recent, and the meta is still discovering new things that have benefitted from the departure of these abilities.
Allow me to point one out to you.
Remember that this thing got unbanned? Being a native user of Speed Boost, this is one of few pokemon left in the meta who can boost its Speed quite comfortably. Would you know it, Blaziken also boasts a 4x Bug resist, and hits Beedrill, Cloyster, and Cinccino/Ambipom super effectively with its STABs.
So hello, Blaziken can come in on either of Mega Beedrill's most spammable moves, Pin Missile and U-Turn, grab a Speed Boost, Protect, grab another to out speed even Scarf Ciccino and Ambipom, then kill everything. Focus Sash you say? Run Blaziken with Technician Double Kick, 90bp STAB that breaks Sturdy and Sashes.
+1 252 Atk Technician Beedrill-Mega Pin Missile (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Blaziken: 165-200 (54.8 - 66.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Blaziken Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Beedrill-Mega: 1063-1256 (392.2 - 463.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Blaziken Double Kick (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Cloyster: 240-286 (99.5 - 118.6%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Blaziken Double Kick (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Ambipom: 562-660 (193.1 - 226.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Not too bad hey?
Here's another, with Weak Armor out of the picture, Intimidate is a lot more viable now as Defiant and Competitive have fallen off without Weak Armor shenanigans, and Contrary has fallen in favour thanks again to Skill Link. A team with Intimidate + Regenerator packing a strong physical wall like Buzzwole as well as any Steel type could easily have its way with common Skill Link builds like no man's business.
One more thing that I think is quite unexplored is Bulletproof.
Immunities to Rock Blast and Bullet Seed put in some solid work against the flavor of the week, but it also offers a lot more than that.
Immunities to Focus Blast and Shadow Ball are an absolute godsend, plus the Gyro Ball immunity is awesome as it allows Chesnaught to completely dumpster on Stakataka, a super powerful threat that has always been good but is getting even better because you guessed it, it's strong against Skill Link.
I mean I'm thinking that Bulletproof Jellicent being immune to Bullet Seed could just about 6-0 a Skill Link team, plus it froths that Shadow Ball immunity. It also gives a nice Water Immunity to the whole team to help with a bunch of other all sorts.
Just imagining that all of Doublade, Intimidate, Bulletproof and Jellicent could be becoming more viable almost gives me hope that Balance can even finally be viable in this meta.
Let's just give it a bit more time. I don't see Skill Link ruling the meta forever.
