How has the metagame evolved from Gen 4? I haven't played since then basically. I remember hearing about a lot of weather teams in gen 5 and the legendary dogs from gen 5 being used a lot.
What is the current meta? What are staples and what do you see a lot nowadays?

>What is Smogon
A thread died for this
Weather abilities were nerfed to only start weather for 5 turns so pretty much only Rain and Sand kind of sort of exist anymore.
Don't even worry about learning anything because Gen 7's approaching to shake stuff up anyways.
Also I heard pic related's pretty important.

Gen 4 was probably the best, pre ORAS wasn't too bad, but Stall has really taken over the meta, certain are way too overpowered

Which metagame? VGC or Smogon?

Well, I guess both. I heard VGC has been very stale past years due to shitty rules? I was going to sit down tonight and watch some of them
