Trio guides update?

I know that the gamepress staff have a lot of stuff they need to maintain and update on this site, but how long does one think it will be before we get guides updated with the defensive rebalance and effectiveness buff?

Also to any off hand who know what it takes to trio these two, please post, here

Forget trio, I've seen talk on TSR asking about the possibility of a weather boosted duo. According to Pokebattler it might be possible, but options are pretty limited and dependent upon weather.

Going by Pokebattler, weatherboosted duos don't seem that hard, but they may be moveset dependent. Overall the level of duoability is much lower than against Heatran though, I foresee waiting for the third person most of the time.

Unboosted duos should be extremely hard, but seem borderline possible against both of them with luck and optimal counters against the correct moveset.

Weather-boosted duo guide would be easy though: team of 6 maxed kyogre in rain for Groudon, etc. There aren't very many combinations, and even then you're running it close. A trio has a lot more viable options at different levels with/without weather boost.

It's not that hard, there are several viable attackers against both in each weather. 3 against Kyogre in clear, 3 in rain and 4 and 5 against Groudon.
