So since gen VII is around the corner, can we finally suggest what defined the gen VI metagame?
>>26264404
Priority wars
>>26264404
Megas
Do you really think it was anything besides Megas and the type chart changes?
Is this any kind of thing to have to think about?

Fairies and Megas
>>26264439
those were defining changes but stalling saw a rise like it was gen II all over again. Smogonfagging aside, megas are the biggest change since abilites.

These.
Let's go home.

Yeah, but hyper offense also saw a big rise to the point that half of hyper offense got sent to ubers. Stall probably wouldn't have risen nearly as much if we still had things like M-Lucario, Aegislash, and Mawile that can absolutely crush defensive strategies.
XY was Priority
ORAS was The Great Second Stall Wars
OP here, how do we fix gen vii meta?

This has been every gen since Platinum

depends because pokemon is an inherently flawed game that would need a major overhaul to be fixed.

Maybe Gale Wings could give a 1.5x speed boost for every turn using a flying move. Or just give a permanent speed boost on every flying move. Still fast and a bit of a nerf, but leaves it open to priority..
