Haven't played pokemon at all since beating the main story of S/M when they came out.
What did I miss while I was gone?
Also how's the meta?

Which meta?
There were some tournaments where they gave the missimg mega stones as prizes and many global missions. Also shiny Tapu Koko was released, standard Magearna as well.
Not a lot of thing, mostly Mega Stone distributions and special battle events, USM are non existent, please undertandu.
>the meta
OU is terrible, Doubles is meh, UU is slowly turning into Gen 6 OU, play lower tiers.
>>33141786
Most Gen VII Pokemon are in NU and PU, Ubers and OU are being overrun by tapus, UBs, Complete Zygarde, Mimikyu and Toxapex; and priority moves are generally kill.

Alright then I guess I'll stick to training meme teams in ORAS since it's faster

Smogon is considering changing their name to Tiergeistform.

SM is acutally faster for breeding thanks to Tauros, you just have to move the finger a little more. Fully ev training a Pokémon takes around 10 minutes once you're setup with power anklets and pokérus. Leveling till 50 is the only thing that might take some time, around 30 minutes in the patch of grass under the Battle Tree.

They could've added a patch with blisseys in the post game, leveling up to 50 in 5 minutes was the bomb
