Thoughts: This round is pretty weird, and not in a good way, although it does promote mixed sets. Overall, I don't think there's enough development to truly say, but I do prefer the current meta to these ones, seeing how even the matchup fish problem still persists here, can't say much to centralization problem though without more games, but no Regen isn't ideal to me honestly, because that guts defensive teams completely. At the same time, freeing Blace might be better, and I would like to go TNM's route said in the AAA thread of going back to unban strong Pokemon (but not Weavile), even if I didn't play that round, I had enough experience in those metas. SAC + PH seems pretty nice as well, considering you can't break through with Choice mons easily. No MG + Bounce might make HO slow down without Bounce Koko in theory, but it doesn't actually change much and offense is still the best playstyle there imo. My ranking on the metas is: Current meta = Blace + Weavile = SAC + PH > No MG + Bounce > No Bounce and Regen + FurScales
