Last Weekend we saw the first huge Post Rotation tournament in Japan and there were some CRAZY Results, with Absol Ogerpon up against Arboliva in the final! This is how Absol became the best Post Rotation deck, and Arboliva nearly won the whole tournament!

I thought the Smoliv on the bench was a Budew. They look so similar lol
This format looks like quite possibly the worst since the later sun and moon days. I felt like when we lost D block and then with the F block rotation there was still so many skill intensive/ skill rewarding decks but this formats gameplay looks absolutely awful. With no hard ability lock, no way of resetting a board (az scoop up net penny etc) and big basic 3 prize OHKO machines has me hoping something changes down the line and soon. At least squawk is gone.
It seems like the Grass player really tunnel visioned on Arboliva ko'ing Munki. Attaching to the active instead wouldve gotten the KO on Kanga setting up Meganium instead of Arboliva. And if it devolves from their into Oger vs Oger, they'd be heavily favor only needing attach for turn + ability each turn where Absol player needs an extra resource each time.
Is there a youtube channel where i can find these JP matches? or at least, where did you find this match to watch? I wanna watch their tournaments as well.
Having played the Fukuoka list (Meowths swapped for Pokegears) It feels really strong! But i did feel in testing it could have had a couple of additional upgrades not trading much in the list. Obviously, when Meowth becomes legal ill swap the gears from the list below. I've added a Pech EX, not having an out to Corner trapping could be a bad thing given we lose Penny and Turo, i've added a Energy Search so we have a non Crispin/Cypher way to get energy out the deck for free and finally i added a Passimian from Surging Sparks which will be lethal in the mirror and a good tech to have given a lot of decks will be playing Meowth/Kang.
