Well I guess I can't help if you're gonna be shortsighted about the possibilities.150 BP wasn’t the average G-Max Move, it was the most powerful G-Max move. A 1.5x boost is too much to predict if you don’t know what higher power means. And Sun lasts beyond Dynamax, so Cinderace remains boosted even after that, something which the Gigantamax cannot do
And you’re just proving my point that D-Max is more viable. It’s just a fact, with higher utility. It doesn’t need it, but it is helpful when it is set up. Sun gives no disadvantages (barring HIGHLY situational scenarios), and a series advantage to quite possibly the entire team.
This, when compared to a Mold breaker effect that doesn’t even work against everything, the choice is quite easy, and you’re ignoring we do have precedent that weather D-Max ends up being more viable than G-Max if the Gigantamax doesn’t have a highly useful side effect.
The Gigantamax has ignore abilities: a boost which isn’t useful 99% of the time, and a power boost Dynamax Cinderace can repeat (or even exceed) easily without what makes the fire Max move good.

I don’t know why is it so hard to admit that the new design doesn’t really stand up to the base mechanic when it comes to competitive.
