@TooManyIcons In competitive Pokemon play there is a metagame. Metagame is basically the term used for the most common strategies and teams used on the ladder. Currently the Tapus and UBs have been taking over the metagame by a huge margin due to their stats, movepool, abilities and typing so expect to see them a lot. It doesn't necessarily mean that you can't use the Pokemon you want to, however, when teambuilding you have to take each Tapu and UB into consideration and how they affect your strategy. I'm not saying that you must counterplay the metagame but you need to understand the trends and develop teams that can survive and do well against the metagame in order to be successful on the ladder
