anon, what's your thoughts on Dynamax? Personally, I think Dynamax is Game Freak's at their worst because of how awfully unbalanced, almost as if they tested it with every Pokemon in the party are Dynamaxed in mind.
>But Dynamax is balanced in Doubles!
That's what VGC players would say even though half of them hated Dynamax as well. Back in Gen 8, everyone needed screen just to breathe, Weakness Policy spiraled out of control because the HP boost takes away the risk aspect from it, Max Airstream is still dominating as ever, and Coalossal. It seemed like Dynamax added depths, but all it really does is devolving it to a unga-bunga feast where you pick normally impractical move simply because they have high power.
Say what you want about fanfic meta, but there's a good reason why this shit is banned in Doubles OU with every attempt on introducing it back all failed. Terastallization feels like Game Freak learned their lesson by being more balanced and adds variety that Dynamax sorely lacked.
Anyway, I hated that they went nowhere with Gigantamax after Isle of Armor, kinda feels like a wasted opportunity in general.
