Anyway, just wondering how battling is going for everyone. I haven't battled in game or on showdown for a while, so I was just wondering what pokemon have seen an increase / decrease in popularity
Any pokemon Cybertron touches with his hands...
On a more serious note, expect by the end of winter regionals at least here in the US we'll start to see a good idea on how the VGC metagame will be. Right now, Breloom usage is rising since it probably the only Grass type pokemon capable of preventing Suicune from setting up tailwind. It has access to fast spore as well as technician boosted attacks (Mach Punch and Bullet Seed). If you notice in the Netherlands Regionals Steel types are becoming popular just to handle Mega Kang/Mence better like Mega Metagross, Heatran, Aegislash, Bisharp, Mega Mawile, and even Mega Scizor.
