Okay while obviously rotation has to happen and a lot of things should piss off never to come back, I have some concerns with...what we have to work with.
>Pokemon search becomes very questionable if you're not playing UBs - for every type you have Pokemon Fan Club, Friend Ball and Pokemon Communication, and then very specific ones like Net Ball and Electro-Radar.
>In terms of removing stuff from the opponent's side of the board you have Faba and not much else that's reliable, unless you're playing Dark and Dangerous Drill.
>Ways to heal things are also quite limited now there's no Acerola or Max Potion, especially with all the spread knocking around soon enough. Life Herb or Last Chance Potion, there's not much else.
>and finally, while Guzma can fuck off and never return, with Escape Rope and even Repel going down away there's few ways to shift your opponent's Active around - Custom Catcher and Pokemon effects, that's about it. Sure, fine if you're not using anything with Abilities so Green's Search becomes a bootleg Gust of Wind, but that's not always possible.
The problem here therefore lies in that some decks get slowed down a lot while others stay the same. Lightning doesn't really care. Fire doesn't. UBs and Malamar don't. A lot of other things are buggered.
