I like ERL lock. I've already won 4 cities with it. Lock powers with amphi prime and Amphi Pl and then use thunder fall. Use detonating spin on g-dos.

 

[Futa]

Luxchomp has been winning the most amount of Cities, followed by Gyarados. Third goes to Vilegar.

IMO, I'm surprised that Machamp only has two Cities wins. I know Gyarados and Vilegar are a problem but, it should have some positive matchups against everything else.

 

[scizorlicious]

lol, how is Magnegatr meta? Or Mewperior?
LuxChomp's still the best meta-wise. It's winning Cities, has good matchups, and the SP engine's still as annoying as heck.

 

[Glace]

I wish my areas meta was all Charizard, than I'd win with Gyarados.

I feel it's LuxChomp, Gyarados, lastly VileGar, just like Gliscor said (well, we go to the same tournys, so it's obvious that are Metas are the same).

How's MagneGatr meta. Only Scizorliscious plays it, and I'm making it.

I'd put Gigas up there because it's making a comeback. I'd also put up a "Rogue" category.

Alot of people are seriously running Luxchomp and garchomp in my area so I have to be original, so i'm repping timid deer lane (bad dual joke), I mean toxicroakAR/luxrayLA, if it's hgss-on for next year I figure toxicroak should go out with a bang. the Two biggest which seem to have very unsatisfying deck list's made but are something to consider are Mew/Rhyperior and Feraligatr/Magnezone, irregardless of fast or slow setup. cya

 

[petertclo]

Interested to see how ERL works. What's its core pokemon/trainer line?

 

[LucarioXFroslass]

What? You lock powers and expect people to drop Uxies and Azelfs?

[The Wii Man1234]

I like Jumpluff it is fast enough for the format

 

[Fartman2000]

For ERL you need:
2 fishermen
3 bebes search
2 volknor's
1 engineers udjustments
2 POV
2 indigo plateau
2 palmer's contribution
2 PONT
3 legend box
2 e-belt
1 lux ball
22 T/S/S

LC followed by vilegar and gdos...tho my favorite would always be gdos

 

[Electabuzzy]

I play magnezone too and I hope to win my cities with it LOL

I still think luxchomp and gyarados are top, i just wish more people were original and didn't follow the trends

I'm really surprised to see Vilegar be lagging in 3rd place. In my opinion, I think Umbreon/Jirachi would be a pretty good deck. I've been running it for some time, and you can see its current record in my sig. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/The idea is to devolve with Jirachi and have Galactic HQ in at the same time. Then send up Umbreon to finish them off. ~JS

 

[LucarioXFroslass]

Only problem is that GHQ is killed by counter stadiums, and Umbreon can't do good damage. I'd look into hand disruption and Slowking. That would burn under lock when your opponent can't get everything out and get punished for evolving too soon. Too bad Jirachi is such a fragile card.

[JaySamuel]

Maybe I should add x4 Judge to my deck and look to by some Slowking prime (if thats the slowking your talking 'bout)... ~JS

 

[Glace]

Don't buy Slowking Prime. They are awful.

I've seen a lot of Jumpluff too.

 

[scizorlicious]

Not Prime, that's pretty bad. Use the HGSS Slowking (the one that lets you rearrange your opponent's deck's top cards).

 

[JaySamuel]

Okay, I think I have x2 Slowking HS, what would be better? 2-2 Slowking or 1-1 Slowking? ~JS
