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.
I’m by no means a competitive player, and I’ve been aware that there is a competitive Pokemon scene since gen 5. My highest ranking was like 1400ish in gen 7 so yeah I’m pretty casual. I’m probably going to be the least experienced/skilled player in this thread but I still want to give my...
Okay since people don't think my posts are constructive enough, then I will use Smogon's official Tiering Policy Framework to show why dynamax & gigantamax needs to be banned. The Policy Framework is stated here.

First of...
Dynamax gives you the effect on the move, not from the type advantage. You can acrobatics a Ferro that used protect, and still receive the speed boost. You're probably thinking of moxie or beast boost which gives you the boost on ko.
You're also forgetting that Hawlucha has great synergy with...
Why should I make a respectful and thorough post when there have been multiple people including myself who have done so in this discussion? If you want to blame someone for not contributing jack shit, blame yourself for not having the ability to read why people are against dynamax ban. I'm...
One side lacks intelligence and does not understand what makes something broken and/or does not understand what counter arguments are. Yes, it is the anti-ban side that lacks intelligence.
I don't know if you're blind or just a troll who can't read.
oh right you're pro dynamax. the only thing you can see is the dynamax button.
All I've been doing is addressing the "arguments" made by pro-dynamaxers.
I feel like dynamax was made for the new raids that they implemented into the game, not for standard 6v6 battles. like, if you couldnt max vs the wild pokemon that come from the wild caves and some shit, ur probably done lol.
also cant wait for the "pros who play OU" who are clearly good and...
Like most losing arguments, the ppl for dynamax are making excuses instead of arguments.
Reminder that dynamax is so extreme that you cannot just ban the pokemon's dynamax form since its not locked to a single item.
It is not like mega where you can just ban the item which is what they did to...
Is three turns not enough for you to get a major advantage? If you need more than 3 turns with a mon with boosted stats + boosted moves that give free advantages, you need some coaching
It doesn't matter if it doesn't instaboost everything else. It still modifies other stats while it gives...
The only people embracing dynamax are the ppl who can't win without it.
You pressed a button and got stats and wiped 2-3 pokemon in the course of 3 turns while forcing them to run protect or use ditto.
Also the fact that you think naga released in XY already proves your lack of knowledge, and...
its just bad players who are worried that they'll stop winning once their broken toy goes away. Random dynamax on a strong poke can get you to 1200. Building a team around that poke can get you to 1400. These are people who WILL drop down to 1100 or below once dynamax is banned.
Also, the only...
I have some ideas that I want to share. I don't think all 3 should be implemented, but I do think something should be done.
Is it possible to mod dynamax/gigantamax effects so that only the first max move gets the bonus? Like Greed said, being able to set terrain or weather then activate that...
I'm trying to make an effective team to see if this

I'm not the most seasoned player, but I've seen this pokemon way too often so much that I'm using Technician + Choice Band Mach Punch Hitmontop just so it dies on the first turn.
I also agree that the problem is how dynamax interacts with it. Does dynamax disable the use of both its ability and...
