^Nope. My brother played him in swiss. It was most definitely Darkrai.
 
Thanks everyone! Specifically looking for David Celuski, and then JR Madison, Dylan Lefavour, and Ray Cipoletti to finish Top 16 and Top 32 out. Still interested in everyone though.
 
Yes, please post a picture. Considering the match was Garbodor v. Blastoise though, I'm inclined to believe you though haha.
 
Also, David Shoyket was in the top 16, not Taylor Duffin. I can post the top 16 pairings if necessary
As a friend of Taylor's, I can confirm he lost in Top 32.

Also, Alex Gardner played Plasma Lugia, Cory Cullimore played Plasma Lugia, and Taylor Smart played Blastoise.
