All G-Max mon special!
Name of the Pokemon: Hatterene-Gigantamax
Roles: Special Wallbreaker
Type:
/
Abilities: Healer / Tinted Lens
Movepool Additions: Moonblast, Aura Sphere
Stat Distribution: 108 / 62 / 84 / 145 / 98 / 83 (580 BST)
Justification: Hatterene-G-Max is a powerful special wallbreaker due to its great Sp. Atk and a great ability in Tinted Lens, allowing it to easily defeat foes like Weezing-Galar and Zacian. It also boasts a new coverage move in Aura Sphere in case Mystical Fire does not do the trick. It can also sweep with Calm Mind for even greater power. Unfortunately, its speed is awful for Ubers and leaves it weak to priority, most notably from Stonjourner. Its bulk is also mediocre.
Name of the Pokemon: Kingler-Gigantamax
Roles: Physical Wallbreaker, Priority
Type:
/
Abilities: Shell Armor / Water Veil / Tough Claws
Movepool Additions: Iron Head, Bullet Punch
Movepool Removals: Swords Dance, High Horsepower, Stomping Tantrum
Stat Distribution: 95 / 138 / 105 / 64 / 90 / 98 (590 BST)
Justification: A powerful wallbreaker that can easily defeat Weezing-Galar, Stonjourner, and Zacian (though it has to has to catch the latter on the switch) with its STABs. It can even 2HKO Cherrim with a CB-boosted Liquidation after SR in the sun! Its great typing also lets it switch into Weezing-Galar and non-Thunderbolt Dubwool with ease. It also boasts priority in Bullet Punch to revenge kill a weakened foe. However, its only coverage for Steels that resist Liquidation is Superpower, which lowers its stats. Its bulk and speed are also somewhat low, leaving it weak to attacks like Zacian's Close Combat or Stonjourner's Shadow Bone.
Name of the Pokemon: Snorlax-Gigantamax
Roles: Mixed Wall, Cleric, Setup Sweeper (Curse)
Type:
Abilities: Flower Veil / Thick Fat
Movepool Additions: Aromatherapy, Grav Apple, Drum Beating, Wood Hammer, Snap Trap, Slack Off, Knock Off
Movepool Removals: Heat Crash, Darkest Lariat
Stat Distribution: 160 / 90 / 91 / 52 / 90 / 52 (535 BST)
Justification: A bulky wall that can switch into Cherrim's STABs due to Thick Fat and boosting a potential coverage option in Fire Punch. Also deals with Stonjourner easily with Grass STAB. It also provides a cleric (a first for the meta). It can also get even more bulk due to Curse, which can help it against Zacian or Stonjourner. However, save for Knocking Off their items, it can't do anything to Weezing-Galar or Orbeetle. Even with Thick Fat, it is still weak to Bug, Poison and Flying. Its attack is also low without a Curse boost and its Speed is awful, even lower than Dubwool's.
Name of Pokemon: Corviknight-Gigantamax
Roles: Mixed Wall, Defensive Pivot, Hazard Setter, Hazard Control, Anti-Setup
Type:
/
Abilities: Mirror Armor / Big Pecks / Rough Skin
Stat Distribution: 99 / 105 / 120 / 57 / 124 / 75 (580 BST)
Movepool Additions: Knock Off, Whirlwind, Toxic, Steelspike (credit to Spook for the idea)
Movepool Removals: Bulk Up
Custom Elements: Steelspike - Steel-type Stealth Rock (damages foes based on weakness to Steel)
Justification: Corviknight acts as a way to dissaude physical attackers like Zacian and Stonjourner due to Rough Skin which, with its good
Defense, means it can wall them to no end when combined with Roost. It also provides utility in Steelspike to wear down switch-ins, most notably Weezing-Galar, Stonjourner and Zacian, plus Toxic and Knock Off to cripple bulky foes. It can even remove hazards and discourage setup! Its only flaws are a weakness to Cherrim and Electric-types, as well as being somewhat passive.
