Alright I’ll start us off then with Dynamaxing into a Max Darkness based off Bite. Which if the bulbapedia page I’m looking at is right brings it to 110 BP. (This will also be boosted by Stonjourner’s Power Spot ability)

[Gemini Spark]

Whoa, okay, that is one evil-looking cat! Let's see what it normally looks like:

Skitty, the Kitten Pokemon. Skitty is unable to resist chasing after whatever crosses its path, including its own tail. Seen in the wild living inside tree hollows, this Pokemon is also commonly seen in captivity, as its looks and demeanor make it a popular pet, though it is also hard to raise due to the need and difficulty in earning its trust.

Yup, that looks radically different! Still, one good Focus Blast (120 BP) should do the trick! Let's synch up and battle, Stonjourner!

[Zorchic]

Mimikyu, let's Copycat (0 BP) the Stonjourner's Focus Blast (120 BP)! Mimikyu's Disguise is intact.

Axew grew larger in size, until it matched the Shadow Skitty in size, and with the other raiders strikes, Axew unleashed a Max Darkness.
Enraged, Skitty let loose a Disarming Cry, it struck everyone present, but Mimikyu didn't take damage due to Disguise. This angered the Shadow Dynamaxed kitten as it rushed forward to Strike the Mimikyu with a Shadowy blitz attack.

Skitty's heightened emotions caused it to go into a Fever!

Alright no use in fixing what’s not broken. A second Max Darknessbased off bite for 110 BP.

[Gemini Spark]

Okay, we keep this up and we might be able to finish it off really soon! Stonjourner, another Focus Blast (120 BP)!

[Zorchic]

Copycat (0 BP) the Stonjourner's Focus Blast (120 BP), once more!

Staring down their opponent, the raiders once again unleash a heavy barrage of attacks. With the Skitty in a Fever state, the extra damage is more than enough to knock it out, the Dynamax energy exploding before the Shadow Skitty reverts to a smaller form.
