Pet Mod To The Gigantamax! V2 (Slate 19: Anything Goes - Voting Phase)


Pokemon: Galarian Articuno
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Cruel Chill
G-Max Move Type: Psychic
G-Max Move Description: This move is both Psychic-type and Ice-type (Similar to Flying Press)
Competitive Overview: Ice is always a good coverage in the Ubers Metagame. With STAB on an Ice and Psychic move combo, it can hit a wide array of Pokemon with its G-Max move. This move also does 4x damage to Eternatus, a top tier Uber Pokemon. Additional Pokemon that are hit super-effectively by its G-Max move include Rayquaza, Groudon, and Zekrom. Galarian Articuno can use its all-around good stats for a Calm Mind sweeper set.
 

Pokemon: Zapdos-Galar
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fighting/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Sparking Strikes
G-Max Move Type: Fighting
G-Max Move Description: This move deals either Electric- or Fighting-type damage, whichever is more effective. Raises the user's attack by one stage.
Competitive Overview: Galarian Zapdos could hold an interesting niche in the Ubers metagame, most notably being able to demolish Dialga with its powerful Fighting-type STAB. However, there is a strict abundance of Psychic-types in the tier, what with Lunala, Necrozma-DM and Mewtwo, just to name a few, as well as Flying-types in Rayquaza, Lugia and Ho-Oh. To that end, Zapdos-G's G-Max Move can also adapt its typing, either retaining the Fighting-typing of its signature Thunderous Kicks, or to channel a portion of its Kantonian counterpart to unleash electrically-charged strikes letting it hit the Psychics neutrally and the Non-Rayquaza flyings for Super Effective damage, while also letting it rip Kyogre apart with extreme prejudice, which Zapdos-G would otherwise be stopped by- some of these do still work (Notably the Johto duo, Lunala and Necrozma-Dusk Mane, who can tank a hit and promptly blow Zapdos-G away with a power supereffective hit). The Attack-boosting effect is so that it's actually an upgrade over Max Knuckle.


Pokemon: Latias
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Fairy
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Misty Barrage
G-Max Move Type: Fairy
G-Max Move Description: Shrouds the user's team in protective mist which prevents Stat-Lowering effects, sets up Misty Terrain, and reduces all opponents' Special Attack by 1 stage.
Competitive Overview: Fairy is a much better typing for Latias in the Ubers Metagame than Psychic is, given the huge abundance of Psychic-types already in the tier who outclass it. Giving Latias a Fairy-type lets it act as a nice counter to most Dragons in the tier, with the main ones it struggles with being the Steel-type Dialga, which otherwise proves to be a good answer to the otherwise devastating Eternatus (who also wipes the floor with the red eon dragon, but also serves as a great partner to her). This is amongst other nice traits like completely dumpstering Giratina by dropping its Ghost and Dragon weaknesses, and also giving both forms of Urshifu a very bad time, and completely mopping the floor with Yveltal. However, this comes at a big cost- Latias gets dumpstered by Steels such as Solgaleo, Heatran and Necrozma-DM due to its newfound weakness to the typing (to say nothing about Eternatus), and Latias still isn't going to be able to do much to stop Xerneas from boosting with Geomancy and blowing it away, although landing a G-Max Misty Barrage on Xerneas as it comes in can at least make it more manageable for Latias' teammates by having Xerneas at +1 SpA instead of +2. Latias' unique G-Max move takes its flavour from Mist Ball, Latias' signature move, so it combines the effect of Mist, Max Starfall and Mist Ball.

Oh wow, won my first slate.

Anyways...
:swsh/blacephalon:
Pokemon: Blacephalon
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fire/Ghost
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Disco Devil
G-Max Move Type: Ghost
G-Max Move Description: (Special) Ingores abilities. Decreases foe's special attack by 1.
Competitive Overview: Ah yes, Blacephalon, that one pokemon that literally looks like a disco ball (even though it's the Fireworks Pokemon.) If this becomes stable, we can have a Ghost+Dark type sweeper indeed just by decreasing the special attack of special sweepers.
This is technically useful against sweeping teams that lay spikes and stuff everywhere. You can decrease a special attacker's special attack on the other side of the team, and it ignores abilities like Mimikyu's disguise, so it's the perfect choice for taking it out in the meta.
As so, Blacephalon decimates ghost and dark types, but you can also pair it with Max Flare, taking out grass types, making you have a small advantage over the other team.
If you can find the refrence in this one I will be proud :psysly:

:swsh/garchomp:
Pokemon: Garchomp
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Dragon Doom
G-Max Move Type: Dragon
G-Max Move Description: Increases attack by 1.
Competitive Overview: You probably expected this, hm? Anyways, let's take a moment to talk about him. Flying type makes a bit more sense because of his "fins" on his arms. This allows Garchomp to fly smoothly. You're just gonna say, "Isn't this Mega Salamence all over again?" But there is a catch. Its dex entry says "It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can," which means this is technically acceptable. Anyways, back to the viability. It is a Psuedo-Legendary which isn't mega'd, making its attack stat go up would put it in the tier of legendaries. And that's what I will do. Increasing its attack makes it a stable dragon type in the gigantamax meta. It over runs ground types with its stealthy Flying type and just decimates them with its already high attack and also the boost from G-Max Dragon Doom. So, this bad boy may become extremely viable in the pet mod. I'd love it if Garchomp was ranked to AG or Ubers. It's a decimator to most Dragon Types, with its attack boost and its Dragon Type killer moves.
 

Pokemon: Volcanion
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fire/ Water
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Steam Cover
G-Max Move Type: Water
G-Max Move Description: Opponent(s) have their Accuracy lowered by 1 and User(and ally) have their evasion increased by 1
Competitive Overview: Mess up your opponents tactics with misses and make it easier to setup against your opponent. Volc also gets Scorching Sand which transfers into Max Quake, which makes it even easier to set up against Special attackers. Max Ooze also helps Volc set up. Accuarcy lowering plus evasion increase just majorly helps to get powered up.

Ability: Light Power
is a Pre-Contributor
All of my submissions are with the VGC format in mind.


Pokemon: Gigantamax Guzzlord
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dark / Dragon (unchanged)
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Devour
G-Max Move Type: Dark
G-Max Move Description: The user also removes the target's item as well, except the items not affected by Knock Off. Boost the user's Defense and Special Defense by 1 stage if it removed an item successfully.
Competitive Overview: Being able to remove an item, especially Eviolite and Choice items, while also boosting its Defense and Special Defense would be a lot annoying, but keep in mind that Guzzlord is slow and is twice as weak against Fairy. Nonetheless, this thing would be a big troublemaker in a Trick Room team! A true power that Guzzlord should have.


Pokemon: Gigantamax Swampert
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Water / Ground (unchanged)
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Swamp
G-Max Move Type: Water
G-Max Move Description: If used during rain, reduce the opponents' Speed and Evasion by one stage each. Otherwise, reduce their Evasion by one stage.
Competitive Overview: Allows for Swampert to still synergize with Rain in a Generation where its Mega is gone. The difference is that it also decreases the Evasion of the opponents, allowing for G-Max Swampert's ally to hit them more consistently with moves with less than 100% accuracy. The Evasion reducing effect also works outside of Rain, too.


Pokemon: Gigantamax Electivire
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Electric / Fighting
G-Max Move Name
: G-Max Thunder Slam
G-Max Move Type: Electric
G-Max Move Description: During Electric Terrain, raise the user's Attack and Speed by one stage each. Otherwise, only Speed is increased by 1 stage.
Competitive Overview: Tapu Koko will be there for Electric Terrain summon, so it will synergize with it well for VGC. One thing Electivire doesn't have is setting-up, well now this is solved, especially in Electric Terrain. The Fighting was for Max Knuckle STAB, and the increased Speed allows to not worry too much about Hammer Arm's self-inducing Speed decreasing effect later on. New Fighting-type means it has to be careful dealing with the opposing Tapus and other Fairy-type or Psychic-type threats.


Pokemon: Gigantamax Magmortar
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fire / Ground
G-Max Move Name
: G-Max Heat Up
G-Max Move Type: Fire
G-Max Move Description: During Sun, raise the user's Special Attack and Speed by one stage each. Otherwise, only Speed is increased by 1 stage.
Competitive Overview: G-Max Magmortar can pair with Torkoal to go on a rampaging sweep, at the cost of getting twice as weak against Water moves. The newfound Ground-type allows for Scorching Sands STAB (yes, Magmortar can learn that move), as well as Max Quake to cover Torkoal's weaker Special Defense. Primal Groudon is not in Gen 8, which is for the better considering that Desolate Land means G-Max Magmortar will be only weak to Ground while Magmortar's Max Quake covers Primal Groudon's weaker Special Defense.
 
Pokemon: Spiritomb
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Ghost/Dark
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Ancient Curse
G-Max Move Type: Ghost
G-Max Move Description: Max-Phantasm, rather than reducing opponent's defense, instead increases Spiritomb's Attack and Defence increases by 1, and inflicts the effect of Curse used by a Ghost-type; the target will lose 1/4 Hit Points every turn. Spiritomb does not lose any Hit Points.
Competitive Overview: Intended as a Wall-breaker - it puts them on a timer due to the Curse effect, and gradually increases its physical side of things. Will likely still struggle still with fairies and normal types.

Pokemon: Palkia
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Water
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Event Horizon (is this too long a name - 19 Characters? I can't remember the Max Character length, sorry)
G-Max Move Type: Dragon
G-Max Move Description: Similar to Max Wyrmwind, but instead decreases opponents SpA rather than Att, and it increases Critical Stages by 1.
Competitive Overview: He becomes even more of a Kyogre check than he already is, cutting its special attack, *4 Resisting, and then upping it's Crit chance to bypass its bulk.

Pokemon: Dialga
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Steel
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Time Thief
G-Max Move Type: Dragon
G-Max Move Description; Similar to Max Wyrmwind, but instead harshly lowers opponents speed.

Pokemon: Giratina
Types of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Ghost
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Netherworld
G-Max Move Type: Ghost
G-Max Move Description: If Origin-Form, Max Phantasm, also with 100% Chance to Paralyze opponents in fear. If Altered-Form, Max Phantasm, and makes Giratina-A Levitate until it switches out.
Competitive Overview; Giratina-A is a nice big fat wall, so was a bit concious about giving it 100% Paralysis on top of that, but giving it Levitate means it can now it now has another degree of resilience. Giratina-O with its ability to Debuff SpD, Spread Paralysis AND Defog is going to be quite disgusting to face.
 
:sm/combusken:
Pokemon: Combusken
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fire/Fighting
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Spirit Ablaze
G-Max Move Type: Fighting
G-Max Move Description: Boosts the user's Attack and Special Attack by 1 stage, and burns the opponent
Competitive Overview: Look at my avatar, I had to. Also, this could actually have some potential in VGC due to how strong the effect is, giving a nice boost to your side and a big hinderance to the other.

Pokemon: Moltres-Galar
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dark/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Devastation
G-Max Move Type: Dark
G-Max Move Description: Heals the user by 50% of the damage dealt and removes terrains and rooms
Competitive Overview: Gives Moltres some nice longevity while also making it a nice check to Trick Room users like Calyrex-Ice in Ubers/AG and basically any VGC Trick Room setter as well as being able to weaken incoming Max Overgrowths and Lightings
:sm/zygarde:
Pokemon: Zygarde(-50%)
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Ground
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Order Restoration
G-Max Move Type: Dragon
G-Max Move Description: Suppresses the opponent's ability
Competitive Overview: Ability suppression is an extremely powerful effect but is only seen through Gastro Acid & Worry Seed (barely worth a moveslot), Core Enforcer (uses Zygarde's worse attacking stat), and Neutralizing Gas (viable, but is a signature ability). GMax Zygarde can use this effect to shut down some great abilities like Yveltal's Dark Aura (assuming you're running Power Construct instead of Aura Break) and Ho-oh's Regenerator, making it very good at disrupting the opponent while boosting up with Coil, DDance, and Max Quake
:sm/regigigas:
Pokemon: Regigigas
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Normal
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Awakening
G-Max Move Type: Normal
G-Max Move Description: Replaces the user's ability with Mold Breaker and lowers the opponent's Attack by 1
Competitive Overview: This obvious just here as an excuse to get rid of Slow Start which already shoots Regigigas' viability up tenfold if you're willing to dedicate your Dynamax to it plus the Attack drop helps bolster Regigigas already ridiculous bulk.

Samtendo, I have to question why your Swampert's G-Max Swamp doesn't set up the ACTUAL Swamp effect (Water Pledge+Grass Pledge effect), which fits SO much more than what you've given it. The obvious missed potential is what stopped me from voting for Swampert, tbh.

Winners
:ss/aggron:
Pokemon: Aggron
Type of the Gigantamax Form:
Max Steelspike - Steel-type
,
Max Quake - Ground-type

G-Max Move Name: G-Max Beastly Iron
G-Max Move Type:
Max Steelspike - Steel-type

G-Max Move Description: Creates an effect that makes the attacking Pokemon lose 1/8 of their health when making contact with this side.
Competitive Overview: Eats Close Combat and Earthquake better now, as well as stopping certain sweepers. (Kartana *cough* *cough*)

Pokemon: Galarian Articuno
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Cruel Chill
G-Max Move Type: Psychic
G-Max Move Description: This move is both Psychic-type and Ice-type (Similar to Flying Press)
Competitive Overview: Ice is always a good coverage in the Ubers Metagame. With STAB on an Ice and Psychic move combo, it can hit a wide array of Pokemon with its G-Max move. This move also does 4x damage to Eternatus, a top tier Uber Pokemon. Additional Pokemon that are hit super-effectively by its G-Max move include Rayquaza, Groudon, and Zekrom. Galarian Articuno can use its all-around good stats for a Calm Mind sweeper set.

Pokemon: Zapdos-Galar
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fighting/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Sparking Strikes
G-Max Move Type: Fighting
G-Max Move Description: This move deals either Electric- or Fighting-type damage, whichever is more effective. Raises the user's attack by one stage.
Competitive Overview: Galarian Zapdos could hold an interesting niche in the Ubers metagame, most notably being able to demolish Dialga with its powerful Fighting-type STAB. However, there is a strict abundance of Psychic-types in the tier, what with Lunala, Necrozma-DM and Mewtwo, just to name a few, as well as Flying-types in Rayquaza, Lugia and Ho-Oh. To that end, Zapdos-G's G-Max Move can also adapt its typing, either retaining the Fighting-typing of its signature Thunderous Kicks, or to channel a portion of its Kantonian counterpart to unleash electrically-charged strikes letting it hit the Psychics neutrally and the Non-Rayquaza flyings for Super Effective damage, while also letting it rip Kyogre apart with extreme prejudice, which Zapdos-G would otherwise be stopped by- some of these do still work (Notably the Johto duo, Lunala and Necrozma-Dusk Mane, who can tank a hit and promptly blow Zapdos-G away with a power supereffective hit). The Attack-boosting effect is so that it's actually an upgrade over Max Knuckle.

Pokemon: Moltres-Galar
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dark/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Devastation

Competitive Overview: Gives Moltres some nice longevity while also making it a nice check to Trick Room users like Calyrex-Ice in Ubers/AG and basically any VGC Trick Room setter as well as being able to weaken incoming Max Overgrowths and Lightings
(For Aggron, I assume the effect acts like a screen ala Aurora Veil or ViAbilities' Sweet Veil?)

:sm/braviary::sm/rufflet:
This would've been more fitting, like, 4 months ago, but Election Day is kind of an American patriotic holiday, so.....
Only Pokemon who's PokeDex color (or any of their prevos' PokeDex color) is Red, White, or Blue can be subbed
(Only lists Fully Evolved Pokemon, but their prevos can be subbed as well. Pokemon in paranthesis already have GMax forms, but their prevos don't)

May as well resub this one:



Pokemon: Latias
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dragon/Fairy
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Misty Mayhem
G-Max Move Type: Fairy
G-Max Move Description: Shrouds the user's team in protective mist which prevents Stat-Lowering effects, sets up Misty Terrain, and reduces all opponents' Special Attack by 1 stage.
Competitive Overview: Fairy is a much better typing for Latias in the Ubers Metagame than Psychic is, given the huge abundance of Psychic-types already in the tier who outclass it. Giving Latias a Fairy-type lets it act as a nice counter to most Dragons in the tier, with the main ones it struggles with being the Steel-type Dialga, which otherwise proves to be a good answer to the otherwise devastating Eternatus (who also wipes the floor with the red eon dragon, but also serves as a great partner to her). This is amongst other nice traits like completely dumpstering Giratina by dropping its Ghost and Dragon weaknesses, giving both forms of Urshifu a very bad time (Though Single-strike moreso), and completely mopping the floor with Yveltal. However, this comes at a big cost- Latias gets dumpstered harder by Steels such as Solgaleo, Heatran and Necrozma-DM as well as the aforementioned Dialga due to its newfound weakness to the typing, to say nothing about Eternatus, and Latias still isn't going to be able to do much to stop Xerneas from blowing it away, although landing a G-Max Misty Barrage on Xerneas as it comes in can at least make it more manageable for Latias' teammates by having Xerneas at +1 or even no stages of SpA instead of +2. Latias' unique G-Max move takes its flavour from Mist Ball, Latias' signature move, so it combines the effect of Mist, Max Starfall and Mist Ball.

And here are two more.



Pokemon: Groudon
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Ground/Fire
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Desolating Drought
G-Max Move Type: Fire
G-Max Move Description: Super-effective against Water-type Pokemon. Upon being used, sets up Intense Sunlight that evaporates Water-type moves and resists other weather changing effects (Except Intense Rainfall and Strong Winds), which lasts for five turns (8 with Heat Rock). This move ignores opposing abilities and other effects that would stop it from being used.
Competitive Overview: I hope you guys didn't miss Primal Groudon too much, because here, it's been adapted into a Gigantamax Form! G-Max Groudon is simultaneously better and worse than Primal Groudon. Better, because you don't have to Gigantamax and thus don't gain a ground weakness or a double weakness to water (which is especially dangerous considering its Water-evaporating sunlight is no longer instant), not to mention the fact that its Fire-type Stab can blow through Water-types now like the ever-present thorn in its side that is the big blue whale Kyogre, but worse because its stats are lower, and its water-evaporating sunlight is no longer instant, so one wrong call can put Groudon in a world of hurt, especially if it tries to pull shenanigans against the whale. It still does mostly the same offensive things that Primal Groudon did back in Gens 6/7. Its G-Max Move is an upgraded Max Flare that spawns Primal Groudon's signature weather and ignores effects that would stop it from being used, such as Flash Fire or Primal Kyogre's signature Intense Rainfall, and as stated, the heat of its flames is so great that it evaporates Water-types that would otherwise take them with ease.



Pokemon: Kyogre
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Water/Electric
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Drizzling Downpour
G-Max Move Type: Water
G-Max Move Description: Upon being used, sets up Intense Rainfall that causes Fire-type moves to fizzle out and resists most other weather-changing effects (Except Intense Sunlight and Strong Winds) for five turns (8 with Damp Rock). This move ignores opposing abilities and other effects that would stop it from being used.
Competitive Overview: Just like Groudon, this is Primal Kyogre being adapted into a Gigantamax Form, though somewhat less faithfully than Groudon's Primal Form. Case in point: It's part Electric-type now, whereas Primal Kyogre was a pure Water-type. G-Max Kyogre's Electric-typing lets it blow through a few targets it may have otherwise struggled with. For instance, it has a MUCH easier time dealing with Lugia thanks to its new electric-typing giving it STAB Max Lightning (which, upgraded from the obvious choice, Thunder, will do 46% of Lugia's HP minimum on the first hit (That's through Multiscale, mind you), as well as OHKOing even the bulkiest variants of Yveltal. It also lets it beat out other non-Gigantamax Kyogre and completely eviscerate Arceus-Water, which would otherwise stonewall it, and it loses its weakness to Zekrom's Bolt Strike and Kyurem-Black's Fusion Bolt, as well as resisting Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent. This Electric-type, however, comes with a big drawback: Kyogre's matchup against Groudon is even MORE risky because it's now weak to Precipice Blades/Earthquake/Max Quake while Gigantamaxed, as well as leaving it vulnerable against the many other Earthquakes shaking the tier. The G-Max Move is basically an upgraded version of Max Geyser that spawns Primal Kyogre's signature weather instead. It also ignores effects that would stop it from being used, so relying on water-cancelling abilities or effects won't work. This includes things such as Storm Drain, Water Absorb and of course Primal Groudon's signature Intense Sunlight.

And yes, the fact that the G-Max moves of Kyogre and Groudon use the names of their normal abilities is completely intentional.

:ss/eiscue: :ss/eiscue:
Pokemon: Eiscue
Type of the Gigantamax Form:
Max Hailstorm - Ice-type
,
Max Geyser - Water-type

G-Max Move Name: G-Max Penguinstorm
G-Max Move Type:
Max Geyser - Water-type

G-Max Move Description: Sets up water type stealth rocks.
Competitive Overview: I. Love. Eiscue. It's so cute, and yet it's in PU. But now it is the ONLY pokemon that has access to water type SR, meaning pokemon that don't normally wear boots, like Nidoking, take massive damage. Also, who doesn't want a move called "Penguinstorm"? And no, I did not overdo the amount of eiscues.

Pokemon: Yveltal

Snarl - Dark-type
,
Air Slash - Flying-type

G-Max Move Name: G-Max Deathbringer
G-Max Move Type:
Snarl - Dark-type

G-Max Move Description: The turn after this move hits, a base 120 Protection-Bypassing attack hits (Similar to future sight)
Competitive Overview: Kill things... Even when your dead. Wait... Isn't that like, Yveltal's thing? I just realized that... Also, one deathbird is enough. :D

Volcarona's Dex Color is White! Horray!
1605118527057.png

Pokemon: Volcarona
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Bug/Fire
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Firestorm
G-Max Move Type: Fire
G-Max Move Description: Raises user's SpA by 1 after each use (Volca's signature Fiery Dance). Also sets sun (like Max Flare).
Competitive Overview: Basically sets QD before Gmaxing, then Gmax and spam G-Max Firestorm and Max Airstream cuz it has Hurricane too. Sun-boosted +1 G-Max Firestorm gets to nuke basically anything and everything, not to mention that Max Airstream bosts speed. Also there's nothing stopping you from just G-Maxing and using G-Max Firestorm and Max Airstream right off the bat. The ultimate G-Max setup sweeper.

I understand that this one might be a bit broken with all the boosting moves and all the other stuff. Let me know if I have to nerf it.

Pokemon: Kartana
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Fighting/Steel
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Megablade
G-Max Move Type: Steel
G-Max Move Description: Always results in a critical hit
Competitive Overview: Wallbreaker, that’s what it is. You can boost with SD or Max Knuckle then just smash with G-Max Megablade. Also ignores pesky defense boosts and smashes through them like a maniac.
1605198315559.png

Pokemon: Aurorus
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Ice/Fairy
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Crystal Hail
G-Max Move Type: Ice
G-Max Move Description: Sets Crystal Shards (Ice-type Stealth Rock clone) on the opposing side. Also summons hail.
Competitive Overview: This is a Ubers-based metagame, right? Where there’s a bunch of Dragons, right? Well, Aurorus is fully prepared to take on the Dragons of Ubers (well besides the Ice typing giving it a bunch of weaknesses), with its STAB attacks and Crystal Shards, which punishes Dragon-types every time they switch in. It also reduces the effectiveness of Groudon and Flying-types like Yveltal. While Xerneas or Zacian-C might be more inclined to slay Dragons, Aurorus does this in a more subtle way, chipping them down with its hail and Crystal Shards. And Dragon-Types can’t switch in (unless they are named Dialga or Reshiram) fearing its Ice or Fairy STAB

Pokemon: Vikavolt
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Bug/Electric
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Ion Blast
G-Max Move Type: Electric
G-Max Move Description: Ignores Ground immunity. Paralyzes target and summons Electric Terrain.
Competitive Overview: I love Vikavolt. However, for a buzzing thunder bug, it’s slow. Like, really, really slow. And if I make the G-Max Move boost speed… well, it would still be too slow. So the only thing left is… make enemies slower! Sure, they are still probably faster than Vikavolt, but probably won’t be faster than its teammates!. And I still didn’t get to Vikavolt’s ludicrous special attack. Now I can even paralyze Groudon and Zygarde!
 
Pokemon: Quagsire :quagsire:
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Water/Ground
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Slime Slide
G-Max Move Type: Water
G-Max Move Description: -1 Speed to All Opponents, Poisons Opponents
Competitive Overview: I Love Quagsire, and it Deserves More. Many of its Dex Entries mention a Slimy Body, so in its Gmax Move, It uses its Body to slide to opponents and use its Slime on Them. It lowers speed and Poisons opponents, which I think is mostly balanced. It can also use Max Quake to boost SpDef, which most Grass Moves are. It can also use Max Knuckle, Ooze, and Hailstorm to boost its Sweeping potential

Pokemon: Scrafty :scrafty:
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Dark/Fighting
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Power Kick
G-Max Move Type: Fighting
G-Max Move Description: Boosts Attack by 2 ( If This is OP, do +1 Attack and lower's Opponent's Speed by 1)
Competitive Overview: Its Dex Entries state its kicks have power to shatter Concrete Pillars, so Gmax Scrafty has Powerful Kicks that can raise it's Attack due to its Fighting Spirit become stronger or something like that

Pokemon: Gallade :gallade:
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic/Fighting
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Mind Shatter
G-Max Move Type: Psychic
G-Max Move Description: 75% chance to Flinch
Competitive Overview: Gallade's G-Max Mind Shatter has a high chance to flinch, it's Psychic Blades slicing through the target's Mind. 75% Chance to flinch sounds around right to me, rather than 100% chance. It can boost with Max Knuckle or Lower Stats of its opponents with Flutterby (X-Scissor) or Phantasm (Shadow Sneak).
 
:Reshiram:
Type of the Dynamax Form: Dragon/Fire
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Azure Flare
G-Max Move Type: Fire
G-Max Move Description: Per Max Flare, and Removes abilities from opposing pokemon (similar to Gastro Acid)
Competitive Overview: not only can Reshiram ignore opposing abilities with their attacks, but their GMax move Summons Sun AND Removes opponents abilities. This can prevent a fat Regenerator from switching in to take the hit and then pivoting out for healing.

:Malamar:
Type of the Dynamax Form: Psychic/Dark
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Soultwist
G-Max Move Type: Dark
G-Max Move Description: Max Darkness, with Spectral Thief's effect
Competitive Overview: Contrary Malamar is a fantastic counter to other D-Max users: their debuffs their Dmax moves inflict actually positively impact Malamar, and Spectral Thief effects steals only the positive changes, Darkness drops their SpD, and Psychic Terrain helps on that front too.

:Metagross:
Type of the Dynamax Form: Steel/Psychic
G-Max Move Name: GMax Meteor Maul
G-Max Move Type: Steel
G-Max Move Description: GMax Steelspike, increases Metagross and allies attack
Competitive Overview: nice and simple, guarantees Meteor Mashes +1 Attack, while scattering a layer of Hazards.

:Wishiwashi:
Type of the Dynamax Form: Water
G-Max Move Name: GMax Shoalmaster
G-Max Move Type: Water
G-Max Move Description: Max Geyser, Restores 50% of Damage done as HP (treated as a Draining move for all purposes)
Competitive Overview: Another nice fat water, this time with the ability to self heal, maintaining its fairly strong Schooling form.
 
:sm/wobbuffet:
Pokemon: Wobbuffet
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Recoil
G-Max Move Type: Psychic
G-Max Move Description: Deals 1.5x the damage the user has taken this turn to the target. Fails if the user hasn't taken damage this turn (Metal Burst effect)
Competitive Overview: Better make sure that if you make the mistake of Dynamaxing Wobbuffet, you can actually get something out of it. G-Max Recoil allows Wobbuffet to keep its original concept of a Counter Attacker Trapper while benefitting from the immense boost to bulk Dynamaxing gives. Be sure to run min speed, though, because, like Metal Burst and unlike Counter or Mirror Coat, G-Max Recoil has 0 priority, not negative priority

:sm/braviary:
Pokemon: Braviary
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Normal/Flying
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Rebellion
G-Max Move Type: Normal
G-Max Move Description: Resets the users lowered stat changes and raises the user's critical hit stage by 1
Competitive Overview: Mostly for flavor, but since Max Strike's effect is more-or-less redundant with Max Airstream's, a nice stat refresh and a crit stage for wallbreaking to boot should let Braviary, a very threatening Dynamaxer already with Brave Bird and Close Combat, be a bit more threatening

:sm/gardevoir:
Pokemon: Gardevoir
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic/Fairy
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Force Field
G-Max Move Type: Fairy
G-Max Move Description: Sets Reflect or Light Screen, depending on the target's higher Attacking stat
Competitive Overview: While not as super good as Lapras' G-Max Resonance, G-Max Force Field still gives Gardevoir a screen setting role while being more offensively threatening than Lapras, especially out of Trick Room, while not worrying about replacing its own Psychic Terrain

:sm/gallade:
Pokemon: Gallade
Type of the Gigantamax Form: Psychic/Fighting
G-Max Move Name: G-Max Lethal Force
G-Max Move Type: Fighting
G-Max Move Description: Follows the normal damage formula for Max Moves (not Knuckle's/Ooze's) and targets the opponent's lower Defense
Competitive Overview: This makes a Dynamaxed Gallade much harder to wall, especially after a Swords Dance, at the cost of some snowballing potential
