Discussion Alternatives Post-Rotation & Good Decks Post-Rotation

Lost march is a stage 2 deck, in a way xD

Lost March doesn’t lose Elm, so It’ll probably do more okay than other Stage 2 decks.

With many meta-changing cards like Tapu Lele-GX, Ultra Ball, Guzma, Nest Ball, Zoroark-GX, etc. leaving the Standard Format once rotation begins, what decks Nox Vidmate VLC do you guys think will be good, and what alternatives do you guys think will be used in decks to compensate for the loss of great consistency tools that were so prominent in many decks?

A high count of elm and p. comm with treasure and a heavy count of viridian to discard those energies.
Because gust effects will be limited, the malamars (and inkays) I get out will stay out so I don't really need to get 3 inkay down turn 1 to guarantee 2 mally turn 2.
Also, don't forget about jirachi.

With greens, cherishball, and communication you can still setup decently. Our lost of ultra ball and nest ball can still be compensated properly.

The lack of gust is more of a blessing then a curse. Fire decks will have an advantage(as they will going forward) however it gives room for more decks to be somewhat competitive, being that you'll see more creativity in deck creation, then just "this is the best deck, here's how to counter it".
