Deck Primer

S'a shrimple enough concept; Let them get ahead, then use Reversal Energy (Paldea Evolved) to fully pump up a Cetitan (Paldea Evolved) or something. Force a 6 prize game, and keep up the momentum of Reversal Energy on your rulebox-less 1st Stagers. Except Leafeon ex (Prismatic Evolutions). But he's essential, cause Pinsir (151) doesn't evolve.

You've got a wide type-spread, to try and always hit weaknesses. Leafeon counters Charizard ex (Obsidian Flames) perfectly and directly; Verdant Storm deals

S'a shrimple enough concept; Let them get ahead, then use Reversal Energy (Paldea Evolved) to fully pump up a Cetitan (Paldea Evolved) or something. Force a 6 prize game, and keep up the momentum of Reversal Energy on your rulebox-less 1st Stagers. Except Leafeon ex (Prismatic Evolutions). But he's essential, cause Pinsir (151) doesn't evolve.

You've got a wide type-spread, to try and always hit weaknesses. Leafeon counters Charizard ex (Obsidian Flames) perfectly and directly; Verdant Storm deals 180 after Darizard's ability, doubled to 360. Salvatore (Temporal Forces) goes up against Archaludon ex (Surging Sparks) decently, assuming his weakness is active, and wipes out Gholdengo ex (Paradox Rift) easy peasy. Our heaviest hitter, Cetitan, just barely misses 230, hitting 220 undoubled, but Vitality Band (Scarlet & Violet) puts him JUST over the limit, letting him OHKO Terapagos ex (Stellar Crown) and Iron Thorns ex (Twilight Masquerade). Same deal with Umbreon (Obsidian Flames) and Gardevoir ex (Scarlet & Violet). Defiance Band (Scarlet & Violet)'s there to do the same push for Raging Bolt ex (Temporal Forces)

The plan against Dragapult ex (Prismatic Evolutions) is "Hit it Multiple Times". Which, is decidedly sub optimal. Then again, will it survive rotation? No Drake isn't great, right? We'll just Counter Catcher to get their Fezandipiti, or something.

280's a hard threshold to reach for a 1-prizer, but the rotation will defeat most of the VStars. That, and Luxray (Paldea Evolved). Lugia and Palkia Origin are both weak to electric.

Majority of this is based on what'll be good post rotation, but that also means that we'd have to substitute Energy Loto with something. No thoughts so far on the "What". Inshallah, it is just reprinted in Journey Together, and all our problems are solved. I'd say Glass Trumpet, then we switch the Ionos for Professor's Research, but it's just a way to help find Reversal Energy. There's nothin' printed right now, aside from it and Colress, that let you search for a non-basic. Feebas? Paradox Rift Feebas? I guess? We do need more basics to throw in the line of duty, I suppose. We'll try Feebas (Paradox Rift). It used to be Energy Loto (Astral Radiance), but it's Feebas (Paradox Rift) now. Why not.

EDIT: 4/19! Been thinking about that Dragapult match up, and how many decks are trying to jam Lillie's Clefairy ex (Journey Together) to try and snipe it. The best psychic we have access to, to take advantage of that weakness is Sylveon (Prismatic Evolutions) which doesn't even OHKO with the 2x. But, Porygon (151) also adds weaknesses, while being a 1-Prizer! Puts us in a behind state when it dies, sets up an easy OKHO with Cetitan. With any attacker, honestly, but Cetitan hits the hardest. 440 clears anything but Pikachu ex (Surging Sparks)

The "Counter" to this strategy is that they switch out whatever 'mon gets Conversion 4'd. However, if that happens, then like... they're not attacking with their sweeper. We're forcing them to reset the weather. We're forcing them to switch off a taunt. This is absolutely an advantage state for us, that is made even more assured by Pory's 1 cost Retreat.
