(Note: Inteleon is on the far right of the image, spanning both rows) Yep, we're doing G-max forms! For the next few days we're focusing on the new mechanic introduced in Sword and Shield, where pokemon increase massively in size for a time and some of them gain a new look and move. We're starting, fittingly, with the (fully evolved) starters.

Rillaboom > Blastoise > Charizard > Intelleon > Cinderace > Venusaur I guess. It's kinda weird how the Gen I gigas accentuate the actual Pokemon while the Gen VIII gigas only really accentuate the starters' professions. Also between its Mega and Gigantamax, it's clear Game Freak just has no idea how to make Venusaur interesting. --- Change is weird. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd noticed Koko increasing late in the day but didn't think it was a clear enough push to be stuffing, that chart does look bad for it though. I can switch the winner to Azelf, or have them tie if there's concern. Mewtwo59 posted... We're in an odd spot where all of the Gen 1 ones are worse than the base form, but the Gen 8 ones are better than the base form.Agreed, the gen 1 ones add very little here.

andylt 05/18/22 6:25:18 PM #27: |
I think my problem is more that I don't see what being gigantic adds to the equation there. The other two gen 8 starters clearly take advantage of their size to add to their gimmicks in creative ways, but Cinderace is just the same thing as normal but on a very big ball. I thought I might be missing something but if that's all there is to it then I suppose I just find it disappointing!

Thank you hb, that does help! I look forward to seeing the reactions to the rest of the g-maxes from those who aren't familiar with the concept lol. Personally I think it generally suits the gen 8 pokemon better than gen 1, as they were presumably designed with the feature in mind.

They're ultimately the same thing. All* Pokemon can Dynamax, but just a select few Pokemon take on unique forms when they Dynamax, which are called Gigantamax.
