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!

Sun Hyper offence is still good.
it will always be good
Hyper offense is still used because, umm, actually I might be the only person to use it
I love Hyper Offense too
