Funny, in the US I never see any Dragtrode, metro, or Gengar. Its just LBS, Bannete, Medicham, and Queendom.

Metro is very underestimated, its ever so consistant and fast, the same can be said as Dragtode which isn't as good as Metro. I was suprised about Gengar too prehaps Germany knows somthing we don't:rolleyes: and yeah, we tend to have less Cham because of the popularity of Queendom.

You guys lack Medicham... you guys seem to have your regional winning decks the decks that won the US's states. Dustox, Gengar, RL, etc. Which leads me to believe maybe europe or the international metagame is slightly behind the US.

If that was the case, where's the LBS domination? who's to say that one metagame is 'ahead' of another, its not like theres a set cycle:rolleyes:

list updated and congrats to Gatsu/Andceo

True, a lot of Europians nowadays netdeck from the gym so you'll see those decks a bit later in the europian metagame. Medicham was never any good here, like you already mentioned, there are some Gengar, Dustox, RL around.

- there are more Europians who make their own decks btw.
 
In Italy, our Regional shows how a very good LBS deck can lose.
I can say that if Sami or Freddy would be at Milan yesterday, anyway they would have arrived 4th...
I think that European metagame isn't behind America...and remember that many are hidding their decks for national because we have only national to win a trip, instead of Americans...
