Nah. There’s no way they didn’t design Scovillain paired with all the new sun abusers without thinking “oh this fast sun support pokemon will make waves.”
There's no way to be sure unless they say it in an interview. There is virtually zero correlation between GF's intentions for the meta and how the meta actually pans out. As the interview you're referencing proves.
Nobody would've guessed that GF wanted Malamar and Aromatisse to be VGC staples or for Aegislash to be a pure physical attacker if they hadn't said so.

Shitfreak is not even pretending to try anymore
Even worse the genies are fricking back again

What are the odds they thought Tinkaton and Scovillain would be the meta this gen?
0, it's pretty obvious S/V was designed to be a high power meta from day 1. The very first tournament was one restricted.

The best time to play pokemon rank is early seasons.

Judge! Juuuuudge! Oh judge, why I think we may have a nasty little cheater here!
Doesn’t single strike form have better stats and moveset?
single strike has an even worse matchup into flutter mane
They have identical stats. Problem is this meta is packed with dark and fighting resists, so having Surging Strikes is preferred.
Also Surging Strikes works against Focus Sash
>everything is the same
so surely the most skilled player will be the one who wins right 🙂
Now which Pokémon of these is legit?
None of them, but both players are Japanese so they didn't get checked.

SMOGON IS A HEALTHY AND VARIED META AND TO PROVE IT I'M GONNA POST A COMIC MAKING FUN OF YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What background is this…? I’ve never seen it in battles.
I think it's that center of the main city where you fight the last Nemona battle. It just has more people in the crowd
Vgc has always been a fricking joke
