>>56506804Both players being able to do X thing doesn’t mean it’s not balanced. That’s retarded, since literally everyone can do exactly the same thing. Zacian is overpowered? Nope both players can use it so it’s impossible for it to be unbalanced!
A game mechanic being “balanced” refers to how its upsides are close to being equal to its downsides. That’s why its called balance.
Not only that, but pretending like your understanding of balance is correct (it’s not), Dynamax absolutely is not healthy and even less so in Doubles.
Not only for things mentioned before, but also because Doubles has less counterplay to Dynamax than Singles.
In Singles, you could Dynamax and at least tank a few hits for Max Guard. Or use a Stall team with plenty of healing and regenerating and unawaring. Doubles your opponent can just target the non-Dynamax user who can’t even Max Guard themselves. Stall is also non-existant in Doubles outside of Minimize Chansey (or whoops Max Moves ignore accuracy checks)
At least in Singles, you could sack a Pokemon and then reverse sweep with Ditto reliably. In Doubles, fuck you Ditto has to be in front of the Dynamax user to abuse its stat boosts and that isn’t reliable.
At least in Singles, if the opponent is using a Weakness Policy set, you can just avoid using super effective attacks until Dynamax ends. In Doubles, fuck you I’m using weak Surf or priority in order to activate Weakness Policy myself while having Double HP to negate the super effectiveness too.
