By personality, I mean how the gimmick played out in actual battling and not just strawman wojak bait images. With Megas, each of them were functionally Uber Pokemon with the limitation of needing a specific item and were all unique to each other.
Z-moves, for the most part were simply just “nuke thing in front of me” at least had the drawback of requiring a held item and also could be used with Z-Status moves for different strategies.
Tera can be used a variety of ways for a tactical advantage from complimenting your weaknesses to STABs to even strong Hidden Power with Tera Blast.
Dynamax has no personality in terms of gameplay because despite being the most complex it’s also the most straight forward. It has that problem Z-moves had with “just nuke what’s in front of you”, but much worse since you nuke what’s in front of you for 3 turns, get +2 Speed with Rain up, and just spam attacks.
There is no choosing between 50 unique forms that play wildly different.
There is no Z-conversion Porygon Z or Rockium Z Landorus-T
There is no Tera Normal Extreme Speed users but deciding to Tera Fairy Skeledirge because you need it more in that match-up.
You just Dynamax your sweeper when you hit a roadblock abd autoplay the game.
