But the Tapus are pretty clearly meant to be meta-defining Pokemon, and they completely succeded, so they know how to make broken stuff.

>―― 現段階で、森本さんの想定外の戦いかたをしているポケモンはいますか?
>森本それはもう、たくさんいますよ。なかでも、ギルガルドに関しては本当に予想外でした。ギルガルドは、物理系の攻撃をメインに戦うポケモンとして考えていたんですよ。ところが最近は、はがねタイプの“ラスターカノン”などの特殊技を使うギルガルドが増えています。

>At the moment, are there any Pokémon that are being used to battle in a way you didn’t expect, Morimoto-san?
>Morimoto: Oh, there are already plenty of them. Among them, I would say that what’s happened with Aegislash has been really unexpected. We really thought of Aegislash as a Pokémon that would battle using primarily physical attacks. But recently, there has been an increase in Aegislash using special moves, like the Steel-type move Flash Cannon.
Looking at it again it wasn't actually that extreme a comment, my bad. It's still a bit silly for them not to expect it, though.

I fully expected Masuda to be the one who said that but it was actually Morimoto, who directly worked on the battle system. Kind of dumb, yeah.

More like they made them specifically to be VGC gimmicks and forgot actually good, versatile Pokemon existed before and outclass them in every possible way. Some of them found some small niche but most of them ended up being shitmons both in VGC and Singles.

As is, a super effective hidden power is no better than a shadow ball and the boosted shadow sneak would be great.
