So, these are the calculations of 2 grids with the highest multipliers for their main damage move. SS Leaf with Toxic Power 5 (50% powerup) and HP Advantage 4 (20% powerup at full health) for a total of 170% move powerup. Brendan with Charging Sun 5 (50% powerup) and Ramming Speed (30% powerup) for a 180% move powerup. The damages displayed are shown against a 1 defense/sp defense target, so its "raw damage". In battle, SS Leaf would reduce the enemies' defenses as the battle goes on, making her deal more damage. Brendan has a fast self-setup for his damaging stats and deals higher damage than her asap, but relies on weather and someone boosting his speed. The red square on Brendan's calculations indicates damage after 1 sync boost, it is applied on SS Leaf's Mega Form. I'd say that Brendan is still a better striker than SS Leaf, but she can also, as you stated, be a good striker and requires only sp atk for dealing good damage + some speedups for MGR... I'd say that a Tech/Support SS Leaf, Brendan and Solarize Lyra team would be the best case. Oh, and these were made assuming Vigilance SS Leaf and Dauntless Brendan. If SS Leaf has CS2, she overpowers Brendan.
