>>39727510Breeding is certainly still in and that'll still be required.
What's more of a grind though is if you want a Gigantamax mon with HA. Getting Giga-Corviknight sounds like hell cause there's a CHANCE of giga and a CHANCE of HA in raids, but it probably won't tell you either till you fight the raid.
I REALLY hope that Gigantamaxing will be a breedable trait. That'd make getting both way easier.

Only way to truly block is with Max Guard, which is what all Status moves become when you Max. It's protect that works fully on Max moves.
