So?

How do you think they will effect the metagame now or the near future. I believe they will be the main focus and everyone will use some sort of weather team or anti weather team. |

Assuming that no team contains two or more inducers, the actual weather inducers, according to usage statistics, are only on around 25-30% of teams. While that is a lot, don't forget that many people run Hippowdon and Tyranitar. I rarely see anti-weather teams, because making a team solely designed to counter one-fourth of teams will fail, utterly. I think 5th gen will focus more on teams designed to set up one Pokemon to sweep, as well as trying to counter all the overused stuff noobs slap on to a team to make it better. |

Ditto would counter all setup and use your setups against you. Which may cause the use of setup pokemon to go down, and the metagame will probly mostly focus on things that can sweep without setting up. |

Actually, that makes more sense, but don't forget that Pokemon carrying moves super-effective to themselves still need to watch out. All I know is, I swear by weather as one of the most effective ways to play, winning me my #1 spot on Smogon. |

Ditto, and Weather will most likely control the metagame for some time. |
