@Bucsfan818 Slow =/= Stall. You even said yourself that most of them had bad HP stats, meaning they aren't that bulky.

@Elly I know slow and stall dont mean the same thats why I said stall or slow and bulky. And what I meant in that post (which i didnt really word very well now that i read it again tbh) was what the meta was like towards the end of gen 6. What type of teams were popular (balanced, hyper offense, stall, etc.). Because i think a lot of players will probably be in the honeymoon phase with these new mons which, in my opinion based on their base stats, a lot of them seem to fit into stall or slower paced style teams. Which couldve shaped the meta until they just made evrything OU again anyway lol
