It won't have proper DLC and uses a different battle system, so no.

Comparing teams with a different battle systems is lowkey, just gonna leave it in the room.

The mons themselves are fine and somewhat complement each, except for not having real ways of getting past any bulky Steel-type and begging to be soloed by Archaludon. But stupid item selection and incredibly shitty movesets make it not a challenge at all even if you go in with a team full of mons caught in the Terarium that are 20~ish levels below (and also Ogerpon because Kieran's incel malding is too funny not to witness). Even casuals can beat him on the first try.
BDSP Cynthia's rematch team still has the best balance of all characters, only held back by certain move choices like Sucker Punch on Spiritomb instead of Foul Play and Luke having EQ instead of SD, but the remakes introduced a whole new generation to the joys of being curbstomped by an E4 repeatedly (Will won so hard) and a satisfyingly challenging Champion. Counter-teaming haha gottem Timmys and fags who build comp teams for in-game need not comment, naturally.

This team is so random. Starts as a rain team, but also has a Fire-type, no other than the most used Pokémon with a copypasted set. A Grimmsnarl with screens because why not, but with a Focus Sash and not Light Clay. A random Porygon-Z and his ace Hydrapple with Tera Fighting?

I've already seen teams with weather ball charizard in the rain and typhon talonflame in the rain so it seems pretty normal

NTA but the pr9blem is not the mon per se but the moveset. Why run Darkest Lariat over Knock Off? Why run FB on rain instead of Parting Shot? Same thing with Hydrapple's nonsensical moveset. It's the poojeeta champion's hazard setter ace being hardcoded to come in last all over again kek

If you play the DLCs after you've beaten the game, with how your strength affects the pacing, you end up spending about 50% of your time battling kieran in the teal mask, and it's really funny

He's not switching out his Politoed to reset the weather so it's practically pointless to build the rest of his team around rain when either his actual rain abuser will take advantage of the 5 turns of rain or he gets his shit kicked in so fast that the rain is still up by the time he sends out his second to last Pokemon and if that's the case then you're probably stomping him so hard that more rain abusers don't matter.

Basically.

Red’s strongest team

Cynthia’s strongest team
>ZU
>NUBL
>RU

>UUBL

With neither having any recent VGC success either. Basically joke/gag teams.

For a comparison, here’s Geeta’s baseline team
