Badly, Unless their GMAX Moves are strong enough to hurt people as hard as "normal max move during sun or rain" it's useless.

They might have a niche before the new meta, but it's a few months at best

Their G-Max moves ignore opponent's ability and apparently are more powerful than other Max Moves.
It would did great flavors for Inteleon when you're facing pokemon with Water Absorb or Storm Drain. Unsure about others, it's depend on whether they will have their Hidden Ability or not. I know Protean G-Cinderace will be broken in singles.

Inteleon can at least no scope Seismitoads now.

Cinderace could I guess blow up Heatrans.

Rillaboom can beat...Sap Sipper.

>Inteleon
Inteleon benefits the most. Its niche is already nuking while not getting fucked by Gastrodon. This move would make it better.

>Rillaboom
Rillaboom will probably be used more for fake out + u-turn pressure, especially when it gets its HA in the inevitable terrain wars next year. Likely not a dynamax candidate, but it could work.

>Cinderace
nobody is using this in VGC lol

In the case of Blastoise-

If his G-Max Move is inevitably a "Fire + Water" Pledge move like with G-Max Charizard, I imagine one of two scenarios

Mixed Attacker
-Shell Smash
-Earthquake
-Scald / Water Spout
-Flash Cannon

Nothing is scarier than the fact that if it gets off a Max Quake and Steelspike, it could use another Shell Smash

All Out Special Attacker
-Shell Smash
-Scald
-Dragon Pulse / Dark Pulse
-Flash Cannon

Cinderace is shit in VGC and so was Protean Greninja. It’s not getting anywhere especially when the tiger comes back.

This is VGC we're talking about.
Libero Cinderace will certainly get plenty of use in singles.

Speaking of G-Max Blastoise I found this while looking at it's concept art

Venusaur's G-Max looks like a Giant Vine-Whip but what do you think Blastoise is doing? It's G-Max move looks like it causes some kind of Earthquake

I'm pretty sure D-Max Blastoise is scarier than G-Max Blastoise. It won't get the 60% Burn rate on Scald until after Gigantomax wears off, while the Dynamax gets that Rain boost from turn 2 and can still get the Max Quake/Steelspike boosts. Venusaur quartering the Speed of the opposing field could be interesting, since it'd let an ally Torkoal actually move faster than an opponent -- a lvl 50 Modest Torkoal with just 4 EVs in Speed would be able to act before a fully invested lvl 50 Jolly Haxorus.

A lot of Trick Room teams are gonna be set up, that's for sure.

Does Court Change also work for that effect?

Bright side: Incineroar lost signature status on both Darkest Lariat and Throat Chop from SM to SS, surely something else will pick up Cinderace's highly and specifically football-themed signature moves.
Like,
Uh,
Fuck.
Maybe Passimian? As a joke?
Drum Beating is probably pretty secure on Rillaboom, but you just know that Snipe Shot is going to damn near everything that can shoot a Water Gun as soon as they get a chance.

I've partnered my Shell Smash Blastoise with an Indeedee, Follow Me and Fake Out immunity. I hope Gmax Blastoise's move is better than rain setting when he has Rain Dish and gives a massive STAB boost.
