Since G&G has become very popular in the current metagame, what are the matchups of it with other Archetypes like DWD, Empoleon Variants, Blissey Varients & etc??

Electivire 80-20
Not much of a match up...Gallade OHKO's any Electivire, and Electivire can't even OHKO Gallade with it's massive damage output.

Blissey 70-30
Again, weakness gives it all it needs to OHKO the massive Blissey, and I run a Mismagius tech, so it wouldn't really even be a match :p

Garchomp 65-35
Poor Garchomp falls 10 short of the OHKO :( Plus Gallade will just keep switching out the Garchomp, so it will be hard to get the right energy on your active Garchomp. The only thing that really saves him is his high HP.

Honckrow 60-40
Has a resistance, but it doesn't really matter, considering Gallades first attack ignores resistances, and Honchkrow has such a low HP.

G&G 50-50
Same as any other mirror match.

T2B: 55-45 (G&G favor)
Unless they get a crud start, there starter (Stantler or Furret) should live for 3-4 turns, meaning they set-up like crazy. Gallade flips a prizes and 1shots the best thing you have. Then mabey you knock him out(if you have PP/LB ) and he does it again. Or he has a Gardy SW, out, whom let's him set-up even more. You really want a quick win with T2B, or you're screwed.

Empoleon varients: 55-45(G&G favor)
Again, they set-up like crazy, but you hvae no weakness and a solid 130HP, meaning they can't 1 shot you without flipping almost all their prizes over. SO they must rely on his first attack. Hello Holon WP. This is probably the best match-up against G&G, if you can set-up properly. Empoleon and his Lv.X make bring down useless so 60 damage is all they can do (3HKOing emp). Now, depending on the varient you use, Omastar can be a beast, laying down fosssil, rare candy DRE and KO everything they have. They never see it coming. Mantine is also good, as gallade has to flip 2 prizes just to KO that. If you play CC, that makes Gardy soo much less of a headache. It's a really good match-up for G&G, and comes down to luck and player skill.

the most common;

2-2-3 Gallade
2-1-1-1 Gardy X
2-2/4-4 Furret.

I know, it's a terribad, even i use an entirely different line up. But this is the popular ones..
 
^ Actually, I believe it is this:

2-1-3 Gallade
2-1-2-2 Gardevoir Lv. X
2-2 Furret
 
I think the people who played the list i gave is terribad lol. i use this;

2-1-3 Gallade SW
2-1-2-2 Gardy X SW
3 x Stantler SW
2 x Absol SW
1 x Sableye CG
 
Sableye is just for Venomoth & Blissey & all those pesky irritants. Absol is just an alternative if Stantler doesnt come out T1. Absol just disrupts. I dont attack with it.
 
I play:

4/3/3 Gallade
2 Gardevoir
2 Gardevoir Lv. X
1/1 Mismagius
4 Absol

the match ups are so good for this deck :p it isnt effected by resistances, it can consistantly switch you, and switch itself, gardevoir makes it fast, and it has a huge damage output, kinda hard to counter :(

What would be an example G&G list from your area. There are many different kinds, and specifics would help.

Standard G&G plays 4-3-3/2-2 G&G and 4 Absol/Stantler and then 1 or 2 techs tech.

gallade vs. G-chomp 55-45 (at best)
even if you switch out G-chomp another one comes up and free retreats to bring up the same chomp you put on the bench. and with 2 plus powers it will OHKO a gallade of gardy Lv.X. It will OHko a regular Gardy. Even if you put BF in play, it could counter with Crystal beach. (deck only plays 2 boosts at best)

Ps. mismagius won't help if G-chomp has D-energy

Ooook. What about T2B & Empoleon Variants??
