A few other things to watch out for are Tangrowth(Call of Legends)and Scizor Prime decks.They're boath decks that do tons of damage by about T3 to T4 for a decent amount of energy.(With Scizor,two energies,it can do 90 damage.)
What will people run after the rotation?

well first, not really....both decks are weak to fire and 2 of the "big 3" decks for nats/worlds run heavy hitting fire pokemon.
past that, scizor is indeed pretty competitive.
tangrowth, on the other hand, doesn't do too well against an experienced player. if you attach enough energies to tangrowth for it to hit hard enough to be competitive (6-8 energies for 120-160 damage) then all your opponent needs to do is 120 damage twice (or 140 if water) (once to each tangrowth built up) and suddenly you're out of 12-16 energies, which is just about the suggested amount of energies for the entire deck without slowing down consistent set up speed. AND this is all if you can get an emboar w/ ability set up as well to attach all of the energies fast enough to deal enough damage to matter.
I got sucked into the "grind hype" when I first started playing and quickly realized it's a horrible strategy.
