Can you give a format? Viable archetypes vary greatly with each format.
its vgc with no specific regulation or generation
it also says in the title /silly
Yeah but between regulations the viable Archtypes vary greatly. An example would be rain as a Archetype wasn’t good in Reg G but in Reg M-B rain is really good.
i should probably make separate questions for those then

In VGC MB, as far as I know, all the archetypes are at least somewhat viable. The only ones I haven't really seen are Bulky Offence and Hyper Offence (maybe they aren't prominent or maybe I'm just not recognising them). So, the main archetypes are:

  • Weather (All weathers are good)
  • Trick Room (basically all types)
  • Setup (Normally with Mega Blastoise, Delphox, or Floette-E)
  • Tailwind Offence (its never bad)
  • Balance

And a mix of these also works, like SunRoom, Rain Balance, etc. Hope this helps!
