Do paradoxes have the ID of their base forms? If they are different, things like Eviolite Magneton won't work but you could run two different versions of Hydreigon on your team, for example. If they share the ID, could you mega-evolve from paradox Mence, Ttar or Gallade like it happened to Galar Bro?
 
Surprised no-one brought this up, but both Zarude and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike have Swords Dance now, which could help the former retain a niche in the tier, as well as help the latter become more viable in NDOU overall.

:ss/zarude:

Zarude @ Darkinium Z/Grassium Z
Level: 100
Jolly Nature
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Jungle Healing
- Power Whip
- Darkest Lariat

:ss/urshifu:

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Electrium Z
Level: 100
Adamant/Jolly
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Thunder Punch
- Swords Dance

Don't really have anything to say for -Rude, but I personally think SD Urshifu is gonna be super strong since it can now reliably nuke its bulky-water checks (especially Pex and Slowbro) and just be a general nuisance to several cores.

Cinderace and the Greninja forms also have SD now, but that might not matter since the huge nerfs to Libero/Protean and Battle Bond really suck for them tbh.
