Max Airstream Competitive Analysis

Pokemon Sword and Shield - Max Airstream.png
With the introduction of Dynamax and Max Moves, Flying-type Moves have increased in usage due to becoming Max Airstream during Dynamax.

This Max Move has the secondary effect of increasing the user and it's ally's Speed by 1 Stage, making it an invaluable utility move for offensive-oriented teams!

It's not uncommon for Physical sweepers, such as Cinderace and Urshifu to carry a Flying-type Move so that it can get a Speed boost from Max Airstream during Dynamax!
