Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Im not opposed to a suspect but Dynamax is nowhere near as broken as it is in regular OU. The incompatibility with Z moves and Mega evolutions gives the ability a greater opportunity cost (if you want to use Mega Metagross or Mega Blastoise eg suddenly you only have 5 Dynamaxers, which seriously...
Love this list, I'd also add CM Suicune and BU Buzzwole here. Suicune can pretty easily sweep through balance teams that rely on Darm/Vish/Gren as breakers, while Buzzwole operates similarly to Curse Scizor by punishing setup Zygarde sets. Both also benefit really from heavily from Dynamax...
Assurance gets boosted if the opposing pokemon got damaged already that turn, not Grimmsnarl. Its pretty much exclusively a doubles move, but if it worked the other way around itd be pretty good on Grimmsnarl
If only to detract from this discussion im dropping some teams I've been having success with:
:grimmsnarl: :zygarde: :blastoise-mega: :magearna: :corviknight: :excadrill:
:landorus-therian: :darmanitan-galar: :tapu koko: :hawlucha: :medicham-mega: :magearna:
:suicune: :toxapex: :clefable...
I'm in huge favor of dropping a bunch of stuff for the early meta, esp given that some of these pokemon were banned 5-6+ years ago and the present metagame is so far removed from when they were banned. A good chunk of stuff like Deo-A/MGar/MMence is probably still beyond broken but stuff like...
