Well Double Genie, Cress-Tran, and Azu-Shroom imo is going to be the most dominate archetype since just look at how well those 6 complement each other (btw no fighting zone). Azumarill just replaces Kangaskhan but isn't as strong thankfully so at least people can manage this. For sure the TCPi is paying attention to what the players are saying here in the West (U.S, EU, Latin America) though I'm not sure how VGC players from Japan, Korea, or any where else in the East countries feel about this. Its not the new format yes I get that, but if its announced to be so then expect the format to shift to special considering we still have things like Sylveon, Aegislash, and Thundurus (btw it can setup nasty plots easier now). Weather (rain/sand) I could see dominate as well as for a bit though not so sure since Steel types like Aegislash and Ferrothorn will rise in usage to counter balance this. As strange as it sounds, the biggest threat in the new format is Sylveon imo since bar Steel types ( Aegislash, Ferrothorn, Metagros, Heatran), this thing can setup with the right conditions a couple of CMs and sweep opposing teams. Without Kang or Mence (along with other heavy-hitting Mega Pokemon like Mawile, Metagross), Sylveon will dominate the early meta for awhile. Aegislash is another beneficiary since no more Char Y and other notable Sucker Punch users (Kang, Mawile) mean this thing will sit in the field longer and fire STAB Shadow Balls or Flash Cannons. Heck I could even see players use Billaslash ( Shadow Ball, Wide Guard, Kings Shield, Substitute) more often with no Kangaskhan being around. Well that's my take on the news.
I never saw your 'Dominating' Mr.Mime in spooky cup *yes it was very effective*. believing this abomination doesn't works too, or i'll get smashed *shudders*
