Cut-price download code bought, DLC installed, team thawed from the freezer. Let’s do this.

The texture on Weepinbell’s lips… I’m out.

I’m building a DLC team just to make things a little more interesting.

Having sat with the DLC for a couple of hours, is it me or do things run and look ever so slightly better. I don’t know if it’s because I’m playing it on my new OLED model, but the game doesn’t look as fugly and I’ve noticed the base game is much smoother in places where there was some performance stutters (the Electric gym city for one).
 
On the subject of the DLC, is there a "right" time to start it? I'm about halfway through the main quest right now.
If you play it as post-game it is scaled as such. I'm not sure what level it's pitched at but I would recommend getting all of the -raidon movement abilities. Actually, some are required so it might be on a level curve with the base game.
 
The first Pokemon I see in this new region being my baby Yanma...I love this DLC. Been way too long since I used Yanmega.

The true icon. I used one in Legends Arceus but might just double dip.

I had a team of like 20 Pokémon I was cycling through during the main campaign and “post game” ddd. Debating if I want to start with a fresh team of 5/6 or just a few newbies. What is everyone else doing?
 
I tried to build a new team just from the new region but the scaling is... kinda all over the place if you're already the champion. I've just reverted to a few EV trained 'mons in a similar level bracket that I had lying around as I do the Pokédex.

I've dipped into the DLC about halfway through the main game and all the mons so far are majorly under where I am so I am using a whole new team.

Okay so this answers some of my questions. So this DLC isn't like Sword and Shield where LITERALLY EVERYTHING was level 60 after becoming champion? The levels are actually varied so you CAN use a new team?
