DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

I guess most of the time they just work as a "legal" version of their evolved forms or as Eviolite walls, but there's got to be some more unique and interesting cases as well.

    Dynamax is easily the worst mechanic introduction in Pokemon history. At least Z Moves and Mega Evolution brought power to those who needed it (for the most part) and Z Moves at least brought a new kind of strategy to the table. And then there's Dynamax, as if Z Moves and Megas weren't already win buttons in the right hands, Dynamax is the gg ez no re of singles battles, and anyone with a half a brain can win.
