As a new player to the format, is there any like team style that would be better for someone learning the format? Used to play competitively awhile ago during Gen 7 and that OU and Ubers. Big reason I wanted to try out the format was cause of some of those older Ubers being viable lol.

While there is no immediate consensus to which team style is best due to how big of a change losing Giratina is, predictions from the most knowledgeable members of our tier suggest that Hyper Offense will be very good, while Stall and Balance are not good. Jury is still out on weather, but its thought that rain may have a chance to be good again, while the other weathers are still not good.
Makes sense, I figured weather wouldn’t be great cause all the weather setters usually associated with ubers aren’t in Ubers UU. Hyper offense sounds fun to me though, I think in gen 7 I used mega diancie rocks HO lol.
Seasonal Stats! Apologies for the wait, obviously this is out of date but want it out here regardless.
