Japanese Meta?

[Tsukeo]

What is the japanese meta now?
I really want to know. : D

From what I've heard, its just Gengar Prime.

Isnt there a japanese TCG forum like this?

 

[GHJamesGH]

I've been looking for one and can't find anything.

The Japanese meta is much differently crafted than ours. They play in small areas and literally line up to get league games played. Winners stay, losers go to the back of the line. They play half deck games with 3 prizes. It is impossible to compare the Japanese Meta to US meta for this reason.

Out of what I've heard, its primarily MewGar, T-tar, scattered Arceus, and scattered LuxChomp.

What ever happened to Sablelock?

That deck originated in the states. Alot of Japanese players don't know how to build the deck.

Oh, I thought people said it was going to be a popular Japan build. I knew it was made in the States.

I can see why Japanese players wouldn't know about Sablelock, from what I have heard about the Metagame is
LuxChomp
Gengar Prime
Charizard
Gengar Prime
Gengar Prime and Gengar Prime.
It is really really popular there and for good reasons, I'm hoping that it isn't that popular in America, if it does get like that I'll tech in a 1-1 Dialga G line in all my decks, some Level Max too.

Takuto had a pretty good Sablock build at Worlds. I think the real reason that Sablock isn't popular there is because they play halfdeck, and PONT is amazingly popular. PONT breaks the matchup Sablock vs anything.
