So what playstyle do you guys use? Do you base your team on a weather condition or do you like it weatherless? If you use weatherless do you focus on countering weather teams? What styles dominates in the metagame in your opinion and what style is underrated? Do you like offense, balance od defense? Discuss.

Dragonite Magnezone.


Anyway, I'm surprised only 17.5% is rain, I'd have thought it would be higher. Personally, I like hyper offense, but I play balanced and semistall also. I tend to veer towards weatherless because I hate weather wars.

Not just dragonite, I use Salamence, and many use haxorus,etc.
Martini, You know it better as the team I usually battle you with.

I usually use Dragmag or Sun teams. Occasionaly rain.

Hey look, it's me! I love offensive sand this meta. It's fun to play and has a wide plethora of options for teammates.

Honestly, I can't really say I'm disappointed in what people are using, because they're using what's good. I'd like to see some more variety in the future, but it's wishful thinking.

Drizzle is more common towards the higher ends of the ladder, certainly. I'd estimate that of those in the top 100, approximately 40 of those at any given time will be running some form of Drizzle offense.
