>>57752166>>57753177>>57753207For the record, Corviknight is generally considered to be better in GBL than Tinkaton. The only reason Tinkaton is seeing more play is because its typing makes it extremely versatile for 6v6.
>>57753184>>57753211>>57753232GO Battle League is a format designed to favor bulky Pokémon regardless of BST, mainly because otherwise the game would only favor glass cannons in raids. All battles are 3v3 but tournaments let you pick from 6 Pokémon you bring (hence 6v6), so most teams have to be able to cover every possible meta answer with 6 Pokémon, which heavily restricts team construction. In regular competitive, you'll often see over 50 different Pokémon across teams you fight each day.
Also, these teams are build for Great League, which favor Pokémon with lower BSTs. If the tournament used Master League instead (no stat restrictions), it would look like every other competitive Pokémon team.
