The links will be different depending on which set you want. When you go to Pokebeach's main site just scroll down a bit and you should see "Japanese Spoiler Translation" on the left side.

While Torterra seems good, it really isn't The problem is you already needed a decent size bench for Torterra adding it Shaymin makes you need 4 spots, which causes issues as any Dusknoir you face you will lose as you will have serious issues getting setup as that player will just Dark Palm stuff back into your deck giving you a lot of problems. I think that Kingdra will still be good, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few decks that are very good but are completely unexpected.

I do not know why people are talking about Beedrill, It isn't go to be realeased for States/Regionals. It's coming down in Nats and Worlds.

Dialga G lv. X renders this assertion false.

mewbreon...
Have you read Dialga G Lv. X's Pokebody yet? No, you didn't. Well, it makes Mewtwo a chump.
And the low HP? They get an automatic SSU.
Thanks for that negative and pointless contribution to the thread /end sarcasm.

Dialga g > Mewtwo lvl x
Mewtwo x is pretty much a bad play in this format. Any deck that attacks with basics (gigas, G, AMU) will run Dialga g.
In my opinion the best torterra line will be 2 PT and one sf. PT=main hitter, SF is good because of tst. you get faster your stage 2 pokemon.
If spread is very popular, i would replace a pt or sf torterra for dp. But you could replace the Lv.X too, although it has a good power. I think MD torterra wont be much played, because PT Torterra can do more dmg and your pokemon dont get damage(CC Attack is annoying sometimes)
But i hope that we will see decks, which are very creative or strange. Rhyperior seems to be one deck, which nobody would play. I saw a lot of decks which lost to rhyperior X, because the dmg is huge. But on the other side rhyperior lost too these decks, because they didnt got the x fast.

Not so much, unless they play Snowpoint. :tongue:
Though, Dialga G Lv.X blocks the Poke-Body of Mewtwo Lv.X (I think Machamp is better than Mewtwo)
anf if the g decks tech in dialga g lv.x then YOU lose every gane:lol:

Why is Blastcatty getting sooo much hype? Are we looking at the same blastoise? (PT?)
Two evolved cards (1 stage 2!) for energy acceleration that requires a precise discarding set-up is a little too slow for me.
If we're saying blastoise is the main attacker, there is one weakness from the translations Im reading...and thats it cannot do great damage for a stage 2 to the active pokemon.
Have we forgotten about regigigas? I dont think platinum will flip our current metagame on its head.
with Dialga G X, lv max on benched palkia+uxies even. the only thing standing in gigas' way is machamp.
Wanna use delcatty? we'll drag her out with restructure and blast the catty, crippling the blastoise.

O thats very easy to adjust to, A regi player can just....not have bench pokemon for you to hit until it needs one. Or SSU one up (I run 3). The only permanant bench pokemon in gigas decks is Palkia X...and if palkia X is out..that just means the delcatty problem will be taken care of. All fodder in gigs decks are 70 hp+ so itll take 2 hits to kill them, the reason why no spread has been that effective towards gigs is that he can just sac them before they even die.
And another thing, while your blastoise is using two turns to hit the bench, regigigas will have KOed him in 2 turns even assuming blastoise is going 1st. Unless you want to use blastoise's 1st attack and hit gigas for 60s....in which case..will be very silly
Oh yes....dont forget about Mesprit XDXDXD (I run 3)

Snowpoint? And unless you have Metagross or Poke-Blower.
With Dialga G Lv.X out, Weavile G will destroy Mewtwo in one hit.
