grindy dlc with decent characters (klara and avery are better rivals than the main story rivals) that also adds back in a lot of pokemon that really shouldve just been there in the first place. in terms of the new pokemon added in this dlc, kubfu has the weirdest proportions and i just can't really appreciate him much if i look at him for too long. urshifu also isnt the best but its a fun design and from what little i know about gen 8 comp that isnt natdex, its a good one to use. the gigantamax forms of venusaur (one of my favorite designs in the series) and blastoise are really good but theres no reason that they weren't in the game in the first place.

all in all, a minor addition to the main game with some little things that make it worth it, but overall should've just been in the base game
