Is smogon's meta stable, and if its not will it ever stabalize?

Question

I don't want an answer like "only smogon knows that." I never played BW when it came out competetive-wise. When I played it, everything was all tiers and organized, not like it is now. So if BW was ever like this then it turned into the stable meta it was. That being said will xy follow the same procedure or are we stuck with this cancerous and unstable meta?

Answer 1

That depends on your view point.

Let's take a look at OU first.
When it first came out, OU was a train wreck. There were many unstable threats, and people complained and complained. A few weeks later, stuff started to organize. And even later, it eventually evened out into the OU that we know today. If you ask me, it's pretty darn stable, give of take a few Pokemon depending on your point of view.
When UU started, oh boy. Keldeo, Latias, Hawlucha, etc. Too many unstable threats. UU right now isn't as good as Gen 5 UU, but it's pretty close. I'd say it's ok.
RU is still a train wreck, but given time, I'm sure it'll turn out great.

So to answer your question, yes some of the tiers are stable. And yes the unstable tiers will stabalize.
