With Magearna being tested and banned and Cinderace being quickbanned, the metagame is about to change drastically and I wanted to make a new thread to discuss the new metagame. I'll try and leave some info below on the mons that were affected by both of them. I'll put things into 3 categories. The first of which is if that mon was capable of switching directly into Magearna or Cinderace. The second one is if that mon could come in, outspeed and revenge kill/force out Magearna or Cinderace. Finally, the last group is a list of mons that could give Magearna or Cinderace an opportunity to switch in or be pivoted into.
For Magearna:
Mons that could switch into Magearna:
Mons that could revenge kill Magearna:
Mons that Magearna could switch into and/or force out:
For Cinderace:
Mons that could switch into Cinderace:
Mons that could revenge kill Cinderace:
Mons that Cinderace could switch into and/or force out:
1. What mons do you believe will see increased usage?
2. Which mons (if any) do you think will be overhyped and have their usage skyrocket initially before dying down after a few days/weeks?
3. Is there anything that may see less usage now that Magearna and Cinderace are banned?
4. How do you think the metagame will develop now that Magearna is banned?
5. How do you think the metagame will develop now that Cinderace is banned?
6. What playstyle/type of teams (offensive, balance, stall, etc) benefitted the most from the bans.
7. What playstyle/type of teams lost the most from the bans?
8. Is there anything that may become too problematic for OU now that Magearna and Cinderace are banned? Don't go overboard with this one.
9. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I missed or incorrectly added above. Feedback is always welcome.
10. Have a nice day and I hope you all enjoy the new metagame!
