Agreed. I'm saying that Blastiose/Keldeo is dominating right now in Japan. I think its because of the Black Kyurem EX in the Zapdos Plasma deck.

Triple Pluspower.double plus power
Doesn't surprise me. The deck is simple to play, doesn't have many hard decisions and hits hard. However, in the top tables, Darkrai won, and that doesn't surprise me at all. It has a lot more options, and IMO it has the advantage over Blastoise/Keldeo for two reasons:
1- Blastoise is inconsistent;
2- After a 30 damage snipe, Keldeo get's OHKO'd by a Darkrai w/Dark Claw + PHB (which isn't hard to get, considering that the Dark Claw should be attached already).
Ummmm 170 - 30 (snipe) - 110 (dark claw) - 30 (triple posion) = 0 HP left.
Its interesting to see that Eergy Switch is at such a low count. I feel like our big basics decks are almost stapled 4/4/4 Catcher/Juniper/Energy Switch anymore, and t seems that Japanese players just like having the option. Although i suppose Scramble Switch is the reason for this. Obviously the counts of Colress and Skyla are pretty low too, which again goes against what we would think. But most interestingly of all in my opinion is a mere 1 Ultra Ball. I can't imagine having so little Pokemon search in a deck o.o, especially when you want to Scramble Switch to the appropriate ones.
But PHB and Virbank seem like the real deal. Free double plus power + chance of sleep is too good i suppose. Really makes me wish we had gotten Virbank while it couldve just been a cute rogue card D:
