I'm tired of people posting threads trying to "netdeck" the Japanese metagame. I'll post a list of the metagame decks, but if I see one post on this thread or get 1 PM asking for lists, where i got the information, or just plain bothering me about it I'll take the list down. I'm sick and tired of this lazy community that wants to do well, but won't even take the initiative to test and find out whats good. :nonono:

Keldeo/Blastoise
Landorus/Garchomp
Eelektrik Varients w/ and w/o Rayquaza
Darkrai/Hydreigon (got very good with Computer Search)
Terrakion/Landorus/Mewtwo

you're welcome.
 
I've been withholding a lot of my information until closer to the Boundaries Crossed release. It bugs me a bit with folks constantly poking around for information instead of focusing on current events. =/

It takes quite a bit of time to actually gather up accurate information. For the most part, your list is pretty accurate with what I have.

Most of my info is from asking players about the metagame rather than finding it through the internet. There a few decks that are very good but aren't played as much, but id rather not list those.
 
A lot of my information comes from combing the internet since I don't really have contacts to rely on. Although, from what I have gathered so far matches up pretty accurately with what you have and what other players are talking about in their blogs. I have pretty much gathered up wins and loses of each deck archetypes I find from Gym Challenge tournament reports and worked from there. Also, I note a lot of what is being played in each deck as well just to see what are the variants among each deck.
 
Nothing really surprising. The only thing thats different from our metagame is Keldeo/Blastoise along with Landorus EX proving useful in fighting decks. Everything thing else is really just our metagame but tweaked with the newly released supporters and items.
 
At least thepliskin gives out his advance info without the snotty attitude.

Are you saying the rest of the world couldn't have came up with such OBVIOUS combinations? lol

Obvious? Sure, to the fantastic players. But plenty of combos are NOT obvious, so there is a lot of value in keeping an eye on Japan's metagame. It let's all of us start off a format at a more advanced stage. We can already anticipate what will be popular and what to tech for. It let's us avoid the awkward "Well, I know what is good, but I don't know what everyone else will think is good, I can only guess" stage. Instead, we just know what is good and what to watch out for.
 
All I want to do is play a Articuno ex, Zapdos ex and Moltres ex deck and make it work again. Plus, most decks that work for them might not work for use here.
 
Are these facts even true. If so then you really should post a link, so more people will believe this.
