What caused DD Mega TTar to become popular in the meta this gen, aside from Prankster no longer working against Dark types? Or is that really it?
Weakness cup.

Aurora viel gives it retarded bulk and mega lopunny is not as meta defining as it was last gen.

Aurora Veil + Dark buff. It's stupidly easy to set up with now.

Fighting types are mostly out of the meta because of the prevalence of the Tapu Fairies + dugtrio(in the case of medicham). Stuff like lopp, keldeo, terrakion, heracross and medicham become much more of a liability because of it. Terrains also really help out tar with Misty Terrain preventing it from being statused and Grassy Terrain effectively removing one of it's weaknesses while healing it a bit when it sets up.
