The current raise of Incineroar is due of the actual need of Intimidate in teams as a sort of defensive play to mitigate the new raising threats such as Cinderace and Rillaboom. It's just natural for Incineroar to get back to #1 usage

I want to think so. The streams have flourished more, which I think is the right approach if tPCi wants to market this more and appeal to the esports crowd. Everyone already knows about Pokemon, letting people know there is a format that has serious torunaments is the first step to building that community.

When XY came out there was a massive upsurge of interest, participant, tourneys and what-not. VGC was bigger than ever before... and then numbers equalized themselves as people lost interest as time passed.
It's just new console first game syndrome. Of course things will be bigger than they were 10 years ago thanks to think such as social media, but VGC will NEVER reach e-sports level no matter what. It will forever be a niche thing short of a complete restructuring of TCPi and you know that's never gonna happen.

Depends.
In most situations, you want Overcoat to avoid rage powder and other spore moves.
But if you're running a mon that uses sound moves that would hit Kommo-o, it might be worth running Soundproof.
Bulletproof is generally not very good.

Nah, its not just that. Interest died in late gen 6 due to the triple whammy of TPCi changing the tournament structure (and introducing entry fees), Nugget Bridge getting hacked and the 2 year long gap between ORAS and SM. It didnt help that the format was one of the worst VGC has ever seen. Interest in VGC had only recently started to rebuild thanks to Youtubers and Twitch streamers bringing attention to the format. Wolfey’s channel in particular exploded after the release of Sword and Shield, but many other less known VGC players are now getting consistent 100-500 viewers every stream. Of course the corona crisis dragging out might as well delete all the progress that was made since then, especially if Worlds 2021 also end up getting cancelled.

Honestly what hold back vgc is the fact that the games are built around singles 6 vs 6, which make 4 vs 4 doubles feel weird. I don't know why they haven't changed the battles in the games yet.
