Get better at prediction.

Remember, more than half of the users on the site have a lot of experience playing the meta.

You can have the best tools for the job, but still fail if you don't know how to use them. Just having strong pokemon with the "right" moves and stats doesn't guarantee victory.

By now I've more or less figured out what to expect from the most used teams in the meta, but the number of gimmicky teams is pretty high
Also I have trouble adapting to the new gen 7 meta

>don't know how to use them
I used the most basic teams that hardly required any complex strategy. Stuff like Mega Sableye stall, genies of healthy meta, etc
Even then I get fucked.

>Anti-Meta/Countering
What are some good options in that department?

I reiterate: "You can have the best tools for the job, but still fail if you don't know how to use them."

There's always strategy involved, even with brainless pokemon like M Sableye. There is no "Do this to win" strategy since you need to know how to deal with sudden changes in the enemy's strategy. Keep practicing and figure out when/how to counter the opponent.

Just do random battles, it's far more fun, you get to use different mons not just ten accepted ones, you battle different teams, and you don't have to do autistic team building exercises
