They can have an Ultra Beast added to their team as an upgrade, with the following UBs being; Maxie getting Buzzwole, Archie getting Pheromosa, Cyrus getting Kartanan/Celesteela, Lysandre getting Blacephalon/Stakataka, Ghetsis getting Guzzlord, Faba getting Xurkitree and Giovanni getting Nihilego, since they were planning on using the UBs as an army. You can also give the grunts Poipole before the RR castle, where they will have Naganadel instead
3. Make Faba actually on par with the other villains. I don't see why they couldn't have made it so that Faba could 'help you' along the way in the postgame like he did during the main story of both games, potentially steal Nebby while it was recovering, giving him Solgaleo/Lunala on his team, and actually be more important in the postgame. Also, make this the team he uses during the battle with him; Claydol, Bruxish, Alakazam, Hypno, Xurkitree and Solgaleo/Lunala, and give him his own battle theme (thinking a remix of the AF battle theme, but more to his character). Hell, you could make a double battle if you really must try to give Lillie special treatment like the actual battle in the postgame, just make it so you can go against two AF employees and then you go against Faba next
4. Leave RR grunts throughout the islands during the main story. Have some grunts blocking certain areas of the islands, as a form of an obstacle and as a connection to the postgame. Make it so they are around 10 levels higher than you should be during the story, and if you beat them, you gain access to the area they were blocking
5. Male the postgame more challenging. Give them better movesets to feel like they are not some group of pushovers and maybe even use items to give them more sophistication
