I think it depends on the build. Either one can win the matchup. I think Luxchomp will see a slight decline with all the jumpluff going to be played. It will still be top tier.

I have a first hand experience with this too. In other words, the following information is correct.

T1 Bench 2 luxray GL and get the first one ready. (energy gain, energy ect)
T2, you can bring up the first luxray and Level up. Bench a Lucario GL and either Flash Bite/Flash Impact for KO, OR Trash Bolt for KO.

Unless they can get their Expert Belt, they cannot OHKO you. So provided your Luxray X survives the turn, you Poke-Turn it back to your hand and bring up the second one. Re-benching the first one for the following turn.

You keep this cycle going over and over untill they run out of recovery cards or you draw all your prizes.


They can only have 4 Rescues, so they can only recover so many times. You SHOULD be able to outlast them.

As far as BDIF's go, LuxChomp is not a clear cut one. It is one of the four, as CurseGar, Flygon variants and Gyarados all give it stiff comp.

Gyarados has become even more dangerous thanks to Pokemon Reversal. Sure, it's flippy, but it can ruin the x2 weakness that Lux depends on to OHKO Gyara.

(A Gyarados deck I faced at states took out 2 LuxChomp in top cut to make the final)

Sure it varies, I know. It works best when they cant get their Ebelt. Thats why I won so easily.
 
I played LuxChomp, and almost got T2 Luxray X, Claydol and Garchomp benched and for some reason... My Donphan, and Gyarados/Luxray deck wrecked it. Uhhhh... It's a good deck though, but not as hyped as how everyone says it is.

Arceus auto loses to anything ever, as for LuxChomp beating flygon I don't think so

It can 1HKO any flygon card. And if its Flychamp, Uxie X or any other psychic tech can kill those too.
Its 55-45 in LuxChomps favor.
 
Most Gyarados builds should easily be able to get Belt.

dmaster out.
