G-Max Drum Solo Competitive Analysis

Rillaboom's G-Max Move, G-Max Drum Solo, looks like a powered-up version of its exclusive move, Drum Beating. Rillaboom's drums grow with the power of the earth into a small forest, for a rockin' jam sesh that is described to cross over seas. Like the G-Max Moves of its fellow Galar starters, it has 160 Power, more than any other G-Max Move available.

Ignores opponents' abilities

Mimikyu with Disguise normally would block the initial attack against it.

Along with the G-Max Moves of Gigantamax Cinderace and Gigantamax Inteleon, G-Max Drum Solo will ignore opponents' Abilities when attacking.

These G-Max Moves pose a significant threat to Mimikyu and other Pokemon who rely heavily on their Ability. On the other hand, using its Gigantamax form removes Rillaboom's Ability to set up Grassy Terrain with Max Overgrowth, so players will have to weigh their priorities.
