Starmie will most likely just be a god tech in almost any good deck because of how solid it is.
Why are y'all talking about "The new ATM ROCK" ATM Rock was infinitely better as what we're getting now. We have Omastar anyway.
Also, why does everyone forget about Vileplume? Poison+Sleep for a simple Multi Energy? The possibility to completely lock EVERY kind of trainer with an attack? The abilit to do 100 for 2 with Bellossom?
most of the cards you just named will be released in later sets & the others like dre & stuff they said 2 many use them & abuse there propes so they r going 2 just leave them & make new cards like them just not as good. because they dont want us useing the same cards/strat because if we do all the time then you always win so they just putting a stop 2 that part & you realy cant blam them because seeing the same deck or even playing the same deck over & over again gets real boringDP-On:

After the rotation of a number of key cards like DRE/Scramble, Celio/Stevens etc are all gone and will change the format quite alot.
G&G will deteriorate alot due to the loss of DRE.
Garchomp I feel will probably be the next BDIF due to DRE/Scramble going out, crystal shard and battle frontier are gone. 110 for 3 energy, but set up may be it's downfall, Garchomp/Claydol/Togekiss?
Magmortar will do much better (although suffer slightly from the loss of Scramble) but if run with Togekiss that shouldn't be a problem.
Empoleon MD? Does it need scramble that much? I dunno. T2 Chatot retreat for Empo MD 2 energies spread 30dmg to 2 pokemon would be amazing, adding Omastar only makes it more devastating. Will it mean Magmortar dies a horrible death?
Lots of decks abusing great starters, Pachi, Phione, Absol and i think with a free setup attack and free retreat Chatot will be massive. Although the new Jirachi will be just as good.
Leafeon lvl x + ??? - no doubt that without DRE/Sramble, energy acceleration will be much more usefull. But what to run it with? Sceppy? Eveelutions?
Glaceon lvl.x + ??? - Stopping Claydol / Togekiss / Omastar will be huge.
Fossils, T2 Kabutops? Without DRE you wont be attacking, but by T3 you'll be stopping rare candies and spreading like wildfire (aslong as you can spread to the bench with Zapdos) or maybe Garchomp lvl.x (spreads damage to bench with power) then restore on a Kabutops and go crazy. Weakness to Leafeon won't help though. Aerodactyl to stop Claydol? Omastar to devolve after damage spread?
Claydol will be probably the most used card for set up in nearly all decks.
Will more bench space be needed this format? As a dusknoir tech may become even more deadly.
Will the format go back to how it was not long ago with Stage 1 decks dominating: Lucario / Blissey / Krikky / Bannette? Or the new Froslass?
Thoughts / views?
the decks:
~Kingdra Yeah probaly going to be the major archetype and most played deck
~UMA(rich kids eat it up) Same as kingdra
~Froslass variants Decent card
~Glaceon won't be used that much
~Blissey/Leafeon Probaly not with blissey but leaf will be played a lot
~Tentacruel/Lanturn(eats Kingdra alive.) Wrong. Kindra doesn't need it's first attack to win.
~Spread decks (poleon, bronzong, etc.) Yeah spread is going to be a major because there are so many of them.
~Chomp Doesn't lose much
~GG 2 da suck Loses speed but nothing else.
~Fossilz Armaldo may be good and omastar will be used too but everything else is bad.
~Magnezone Maybe
~Rhyperior Maybe
~Skittles with the right list yeah really good
~RockBand Yeah probaly good
.
corrosion, you only put 4 deoxys in your decks, not 12. this is illegal. Not matter the form of deoxys, he has the same name.
Put 1 normal, 2 attack and 1 defense deoxys and a line of mightyena for counter pixies (or fetuses) and mewtwo lv x.
really yoshy??? thats great. and corrosion, I insist in the mightyena line.

Seriously, i'm thinking of Kingdra, Milotic right now; marvel scale is going to be too good to pass up, it blocks God Blast, Magnezone's little Paralysis trick, any damage from an any lvl X's at all...I'll see you guys at worlds.
