Is the New Ability Lock Stadium Broken?! N's Zoroark vs Alakazam Pokémon Tabletop Testing

Join Etchy and Jake Gearhart as they early test two contending decks in the upcoming Delta Reign / Storm Emeralda format, N's Zoroark ex and Alakazam Dudunsparce! In particular, we're testing the new Legendary Lava Lake or Cave stadium that locks abilities for evolution Pokemon. We recorded this a few days before Baltimore regionals, otherwise we would have included N's Purrloin. Like the sleeves we use and want to support us?
