Does the Base Power of the Base Moves Affect the Base Power of its Max Move?

Question

It's like if you have Rock Tomb and Stone Edge. Does Stone Edge as Max Rockfall do more damage because it has a higher Base Power.

Answer 1

Similar to Z-Moves, the type, damage category and base power of Max Moves that a Dynamax Pokémon knows depend on the moves it knew before Dynamaxing. The exception to this are status moves, which instead all become the Normal-type Max Guard.

So yes, the base move affects the power. For your example, a Max Rockfall with a base move of Rock Tomb will have a base power of 110 compared to 130 if the base move was Stone Edge.
