Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

in your opnion who is the better deck hp-on (the 4 betters)

It is too early to tell which decks will be popular and good. But these could be: electivire, some empoleon variant, monarchy and mabey magmamortar.
 
My list:
1. Empoleon (loses to Electrivire)
2. Feraligatr or InfernaCatty (Feraligatr loses to Electrivire, Ape to Empo/Fera and Catty to Mario)
3. Electrivire w/Flygon d (loses to Mario)
4. Magmortar or Mario (Mortar loses to Fera and Empo, Mario loses to :psychic: rogue's )
5. etc... Kricketune'd and Monarchy...
Each new archetype Deck loses to another archetype Deck, so I think all are good Decks put that just my list!

In no particular order (apart from the order they come to my head):
1. Infernacatty - fast, powerful, and just an all round good deck
2. Mario or other Lucario based deck - same as above and is disruptive with Cessation Crystal
3. Kricketune - same as above
4. Um, I actually ave no idea what the 4th good deck of the format will be. Electrivire seems good. Feraligatr has potential. Monachy is going to be great. But then, some red face paint may come and surprise someone.
 
Empoleon is IMO the best. No idea for the other 3, but good Gatr lists, Lucario varients (not mario), Monarchy perhaps, Electivire maybe, and a couple others might do well.
 
1. Empoleon (The only decks that set up faster is Fire Decks, so yeah.
2. Gatr (Isn't as fast as Empoleon, but does quite a bit of damage)
3. Magmortar (Gotta defend my deck.)
4. Infernape (C'mon, 90 for 2 is awesome, admit it.)

Meh, it's a poll but I'll respond with reasons so it's not a poll:

Kricketune: Fast and consistent set up. It will make a showing at Autumn BRs min.
MARIO: I don't get why people say this isn't a deck, but w/e. It's pretty good imo.
Infernape: This one isn't going anywhere. It's also fast and consistent.
New age Monarchy: Seriously, the King and Queen in this deck + a tech of the delta ones will let it see some play.

Other good candidates that will evolve include Feraligatr, random uses of Honchkrow, Electivire Lv X, and revived Flygon decks.

more like, you invented in technically so you think it pwns all!

anyway, my list;

1. Empoleon/? (not lucario, and not that yampoleon list in the deck help forum, i like seaking best i think)
2. Thrones (i've been on the receiving end of this deck, it is really harsh)
3. Pollen (running out of decks; this one rocks, seriously, not because i made it, but because it sets up and kills things)
4. Ape/Torterra (if you saw my frieds torterra you'd see why it comes in 4th here, then theres ape, not bad, not great, fun to play though)

thats my list

ps; ape and torterra arn't the same deck.
 
1) Empoleon varients: Fast, and has good bench hitting to KO Pokemon getting setup.
2) Infercatty: Fast, and still has the ability to T1 decks.
3) Raichu(DP2) varients: Works well with so many cards.
4) Gatr varients: It's overhyped, and too inconsistant. But there are gonna be so many of them, so it should get at least a few Battle Roads.

what does with raichu well? i havn't seen any way to speed power it concistantly
 
1) Lighting-based decks: Look at the hype empoleon and gatr are getting. With lake barrier out and soo many lighting pokes able to do 70+ for low energy cost, they will be used to counter gatr/empoleon.
2) Empoleon- Just a sick card. The ablity to spread damage around like crazy and then abuse scramble later in teh game spells a winning combination.
3) Mario- Yes, that deck. Plays like empoleon, but the "scramble" is actually machamp returning the favor of a ko.
4) Infercatty/gatr/other- Alot can go here. Infercatty has amazing speed and good consistancy, while gatr could work if consistancy can be proven.
