No Tapus?!
Thank god. Tapu Koko rain teams were a fucking nightmare. Stall teams might actually be usable again without Tapu Fini as well. Don't know if it's popular opinion or not, but if they end up cutting megas too, I'd be onboard for that. I think Megas are cool and all, but they made casual playthroughs too easy and they ruined competitive play.
One of most surprising cuts is the Chansey line though. I thought Chansey was fairly popular with fans. I know it 's going to have huge implications on the competitive scene. Chansey/Blissey have been staples for over 20 years and now they're just gone. Brave new world were living in.
