I think Steam Engine’s boost is +6. The “drastically” message gets used for any boost of +3 or more (e.g. Simple Amnesia), aside from Belly Drum. Other people have reported that the Steam Engine boost doesn’t activate more than once, which would make sense if the first boost took Rolycoly from +0 to +6.I noticed after Rolycoly's ability increases its speed drastically, Rapid Spin won't grant it a speed boost. Any idea why?
Does it add 6 (as in, if you had its speed dropped to -1 and then steam engine activates, would it get you to +5), or does it set it to 6 like belly drum?Got my friend to check and Steam Engine does indeed straight up give you +6!
Would Storm Drain steal it too then?While I'm not entirely sure if it changes anything, Life Dew triggers Water Absorb even though it's already a healing move by itself. I had that happen with an AI partner in a raid.
I have not found better evidence yet but this should prove that Choice Band doesn't boost a dynamaxed mon's attack :Do Choice Items still buff Max-Moves?
I can confirm this.While I'm not entirely sure if it changes anything, Life Dew triggers Water Absorb even though it's already a healing move by itself. I had that happen with an AI partner in a raid.
Phew. That makes it more reasonable and makes a lot of sense. You're basically Embargoed on Choice items specifically. That makes Life Orb the optimal choice for Dynamaxing, especially given that you only take 5% recoil.this should prove that Choice Band doesn't boost a dynamaxed mon's attack
A few things to probe. Are you including the cancelling of Gorilla Tactics from Weezing's Neutralizing Gas upon calculation? Is the Darmanitan a rental or was it raised by you, and if so, what is its nature and EV build? How high up the tower are you? Is the Lass's Weezing a higher rank?I have not found better evidence yet but this should prove that Choice Band doesn't boost a dynamaxed mon's attack :The fact that Weezing survived the max move with ~30% lets me believe that the choice band boost didn't apply. However it may be a bold 252 / 252 Weezing against a regular Darmanitan so this can't be taken as complete proof.
The fact that we see the message "Lass Ava sent out Weezing!" is sufficient to tell exactly what build the Weezing has: Relaxed with Atk/Def EVs, for 133 HP and 180 Defense.A few things to probe.

omg u're a genius, yes i reported that it doesn't activate again after one use. makes sense if the speed is already 6+I think Steam Engine’s boost is +6.

What about Sleep Talk?assist doesn't exist any more either, and if you try transferring a pokemon with one of those moves into the game, it won't let you transfer it
Impossible to know as the move does not exist in Sword and Shield.If (even though it shouldn't be possible under normal circumstances) a mon uses Hidden Power!Max Strike, does its type changes just like Weather Ball!Max Strike does?
Shame on me if that's wrong, but... it's odd.Impossible to know as the move does not exist in Sword and Shield.
Hidden Power didn't change typing when powered up by Normalium Z so I'd say it's fair to assume that it would stay as max strikeIf (even though it shouldn't be possible under normal circumstances) a mon uses Hidden Power!Max Strike, does its type changes just like Weather Ball!Max Strike does?
