How gen 2 pokemons will affect the current meta.

Alright guys i need your opinions how the next update will affect this current meta.

These are the pokemons that i think will change or even break the current meta exclude the legendaries.

1)Tyranitar -> I think this pokemon will be a game changer if the legendaries will be distributed to each and everyone. If legendaries are rare or by an event only. Tyranitar will be a great generalist attacker with the only true weakness is Fight type which is bad even in gen 2. But sadly this High CP pokemon will be used against defending because of his high CP, so in your opinion what is the best defending charge move for Tyranitar? My choice is rockslide for obvious reasons. And attacking is obviously bite+stone edge ftw

2)Scizor -> This bad ass madafaka will break the current meta because of his typing only. WHICH IS BUG/STEEL HAVE 9 RESISTANCE AND 1 FATAL WEAKNESS WHICH IS FIRE :D. So the quick moves what i think will be available is Metal Claw FTW, Bullet Punch for defending, and Fury Cutter for mediocre typing? So what will be his best charge moves Flash Cannon? Bug Buzz? or X-Scissor? I think flash cannon is the best one imo.

3)Blissey-> O SHIT HERE COMES THE META BREAKER. A better wall than Chansey who is apparently already annoys me like hell. A straight upgrade with better CP, better bulk and twice whooping power than chansey? COUNT ME IN LIKE THE REST OF AMERICA. And also pound + HB COME AT ME BRO. This is the wall that trump deserve to keep the mexicans out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So what pokemons you think will change the meta? Comment below if i'm missing someone, and sorry if i didn't include eevee gen 2 evolution coz it's mediocre at best D:

Another question, if dragonite has outrage as a charge move. And if it will be copy the stats like Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Fire Blast, ETC.

Would you still prefer dragon claw or outrage?

Oitrage is a multi-turn move, so it will probably be more like solar- and hyperbeam, and do ~15% more damage than db/dc, but would be harder to finish pokemon off and dodge with.
People will say 'dragon claw is clearly superior' and 'your a retarded noob with mental problems if you think outrage is better' like they do with body slam, because they think it makes them sound smart (it doesn't), but I'll take dps over some vague dodging statistic any day. It's just sooooo satisfying to drop a solarbeam, sit back, take a 5-second sip of the nearest beverage, and watch vaporeons die. I can't wait to do that with a dragonite.

Are you ignorant? ofc tyranitar will be counter by lots if he's being used as defender. The only thing that check tyranitar is fight type moves, other weakness such as water, ground and other 4 weakness will destroy him if he's standing still ie as a defender.

Tyranitar is not gonna do anything considering most Level 10 consist of at least 5 or 7 vaporeon.

Psychics will take a hit due to the arrival of dark pokemon. There will be stronger grass and steel types available; so fire types will be more useful.
Blissey is a greater danger to the gym meta than Mewtwo. The moves that fighting types learn (especially Karate chop and Bullet Punch) need a power buff to even have a chance against her.
I don't think that the legendaries will have much effect on the meta. The arrival of the Crunch move will keep Mewtwo in check.

Blissey and perhaps Kingdra (to a lesser extent) are the only individual Mon that come to mind. The collective arrival of dark Mon and the increased presence of grass and steel types will have a greater effect than any other individual pokemon.

The first meta change will be a less boring game. It's getting so difficult to find a reason to play that they better hurry up releasing Gen2...

Anyway, until we see how new moves work and which moves get each Pokemon there is little to speculate. I think meta will not change too much. It will be a CP race and spoofers over control exactly like now

Can't agree with Scizor.
No matter how many resistances he has, he has this double-weakness to Fire. Everyone has a good Flareon/Arcanine. That's all it takes to knock him of out good defenders, just as Gyarados.
As an attacker? Killing Exeggutor he will be good at, but none of the top 3 is weak to Bug/ Steel. What good is he?

Not much is gonna change Vaporeon has type advantage over the top gen 2 pokemon.

Tyranitar 1x weakness to water
Ho-oh 1x weakness to water
Entei 1x weaknesss to water

A meta breaker might be Heracross. Finally a potentially good fighting type that also doesn't take much effort to reach high CP.

Tyranitar will be the first quick and easy counter to lapras and snorlax, and a good dragonite-tier attacker overall. Blissey will be a god.
Wobbuffet might be interesting, but nothing else matters.
