What will people run after the rotation?

Lickiboar, Dark Toolbox, or ZPS is going to be my deck. I honestly prefer ZPS over Reshiboar because I can get early, disruptive KO's, and I also run Serperior to heal off my recoil.

^I think mewgar will start dropping slowly. not a whole lot though.

I have been rolling with reshiboar but so many people have been doing that, I feel like a sell-out lol...even though I started comign up with mine as soon as the cards were announced, still feels like it's lost it's originality.
 
^ im running magneboar and feel the same way, i want something rouge so ive picked up cinccino/jumpluff and its perfect

Oh me too I read the japanese reports when i find them and thought Reshiram paired with Emboar would be pretty cool and tried a fancy Amphy prime tech but it didnt work. So I had to be a sellout and throw in some RDL and im still not happy about it, but hey cant argue with the results lol. Although im still working on little things here and there to make it feel unique. (aka 4-4 ninetales and some other things). And yea it keep dropping and rising in the strangest ways which is odd because Reshiram deck kingpins such as Emboar have been steadily declining.

4-4 ninetails? interesting....way too much draw power imo and not enough attack, but eh....you probably see something I don't :) RDL takes way too long. my friend did that to his reshiboar deck to try to top mine and we argued for a long time about it being to slow or not. I threw in a couple of zekrom instead of RDL and battled his deck....I smoked him haha...it was as I said :) getting that set up is like setting up another stage 2....so two stage 2's and a stage 1 is obviously slower than one stage 2 a stage 1 and a couple basics.

but I really like lostgar...I playtest variants of that more than anything else trying to make it work. I keep feeling like I'm missing something though haha
 
^damage :p

mewgar is very fast. i even let my cousin that is 9 control mewgar (he still makes deck based on types -_-) and he still beat my magneboar. mewgar is fast and can get 1-2 poke LZed every turn. then do rescue and revive...and you always have a mew
 
I've runned Reshiboar, Magneboar, Blastgatr, Blastzel, Donphan, Minccino and Donccino, and they've all been doing great, Donccino beating a MD-CL Magnerock deck.
I assume these will be doing good, together with Zekrom, Kingbuzz, Yanmega, Tyranitar Toolbox (Maybe, huge weakness against Donphan) and probably some more decks.
 
^my cinccino is able to get 100 going T2...thus it could keep up with SP :D AMAZING
 
MagneBoar (pretty much the new age MetaNite, my bet at winning Nats)
BlastZel (faster then BlastGatr, sniping is amazing)
DonChamp (hits hard, great synergy)
MewGar (maybe it'll live up to the hype it recieved all of last year)
ReshiBoar (one of the most hyped decks from b/w)
ZPS (anotehr hyped deck, though i don't see it winning the whole thing, maybe a few topcuts)
Cinccino varients (lost a lot by not getting catcher, get ready for it to be good next season though)

Wild cards
Samurott varients (heavily underated card)
Serperior/Reuniclus (fire weakness bad, along with low damage output, though i may be wrong)
T-Tar varients (i'm not sold on them yet, but as i said w/ the deck above, i may be wrong)
Toolbox/Tech decks (this is going to be a tough one to build, but the right list will be deadly)
Kingbuzz (lightning weakness bad, along with low damage against fire)
Disruption (as with toolbox/tech, the right list is deadly)
 
Depending what comes out in Red collection ill stick with Blastoise/Floatzel now seeing Australia is overpopulated with Reshiboar xD
 
I'm running a Lucario Lost Zone deck, go figure. It seems pretty solid and it's showing more promise than my T-Tar Toolbox deck that did alright but in terms of speed just didn't cut it and the Rare Candy errata hurt it quite a bit.
 
Mew toolbox is what I am also thinking about. Spam Defenders, Rescue Energy, Rainbow Energy, and Gengar Prime, and you can hit your opponent with their own attacks.

EDIT: Amphybuzz can own. It can snipe anything you attach Energy to. Could work.

Zoroark, Cinccino, Yanmega, Donphan, Zekrom, Emboar, Samurott, Reuniclus, Crobat, Steelix, Lostgar, Machamp, and Blastgatr. I think I nearly covered everything.
 
I think that Reshiboar with the right list will dominate Nationals, since it really has no bad matchups (not even really Water types since you can set up faster) and with a speedy list can be set up on T2 75% of the time (T3 almost 99% of the time), based on my testing. It has a great matchup vs Donphan, Zekrom, Cinccino, Yanmega, Jumpluff, Crobat, Steelix, Lostgar, and an at least decent matchup against almost all the other decks people are hyping.
