Let's try and predict what Pokemon in SwSh OU will have 90% usage.
My bet is on Tyranitar or Clefable.

Depends a lot on what legendaries and pseudos get in. With the current Galar Dex it looks like OU will be Tyranitar's world (again). We'll have a DPP-BWesque meta aside from certain mechanic changes like weather.

This will probably be the actual determinate for whats good and whats shit, aside from the Tapus not coming back and some poor saps getting their abilities as HAs

It's the only bulky steel type in the entire dex.

Min-maxed stats that looks extremely out of place among gen 1 mons while not taking up a Mega slot.

I'm predicting Dynamax Clefable setting up Calm Minds for 3 turns while taking little damage is going to be a pain.

You can't calm mind while dynamaxed.

Non attacking moves become a protect clone.

It's an either attack or make others waste turns kind of mechanic.

How? It is a wallbreaker or sweep after a boost kind of deal, it's even worse than Megafug when you stop and think about it.

Some max attacks give stat boosts to the user along with damaging the opponent

Yeah I'm now panicking about it.
+1 252 SpA Life Orb Volcarona Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 577-680 (82 - 96.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
185 BP because that's Fire Blast's Inferno Overdrive BP.
This is the future we may live in if this shit doesn't take an item slot and the moves have Z Move BP.
I'm also not taking into account the stat boosts the mons get

It's absolutely hilarious how retards on /vp/ believe cutting a third to a half of random mons from VP will result in a better meta. No it won't you retards, many problem mons will be cut but they will be just replaced by new problem mons, and your number of potential checks will be cut in half. It centralizes the meta like there's no tomorrow and kills any variety.

/vp/ is retarded and only cares about how many "lore adequate" pokemon are visible in competitive without any regard for balance whatsover, they'll slurp up a meta where a non-legendary is in 99% of teams over one where a bunch of legendaries are in 30% of them.

Pre-bank OU wasn't around long enough or taken seriously enough for a proper meta to really form.

Min maxed stats in the middle of gen 1
One of two steel types, the other being magneton
Stronger than most megas without taking up a slot

This >>38986094 and VGC has too many outside variables, like sweeping restrictions, to extract any meaningful data out of. Plus I know much more about Smogon than I do VGC. You're free to take a look at whatever VGC data there is and try to make sense of it if you'd like.
