i have been curious on players opinion on the top decks out there if anyone has a deck tier list post it up please feel free to discuss on ones opinion lets begin thanks
 
Based on international results and BRs, here's my best guess at a tier list:

Tier 1:
Gengar variants
Dialga G
Beedrill

Tier 1.5:
BlazeTran
Palkia G
Galactic Toolbox
SP--could be any combo of Luxray, Gallade or Ape
Kingdra
Machamp

Tier 2:
PorygonZ
Flygon variants
Plox
T-Tar
 
As draz said gengar varients and beedrill are definetly tier 1 idk about dialga but it is pretty nast (slow as in winning lol ) but nasty against stage 2 decks wich thatts what is winning so go figure =]But i think kingdra can be a tier one deck i mena it can very easily go around gengars fainting spell and can if it sets up fast enough get past beedrill so.
 
tier 1:
gengar/queen
toolbox/SP deck
flygon

tier 2:
beedrill
blaziken
kingdra
PLOX
machamp (maybe tier 3)

tier 3:
eeveelutions
rampardos
other stuff
 
gengar is good but i dint think it is top tier. you can play around it by dumping supporters and unkown g all poke with powers
 
gengar/queen makes it almost impossible to get around fainting spell, you can't G all your pokes with powers anyways.
 
well not all decks play alot of powers like kingdra the power really is claydol and maybe an uxie if u droped one and with kingdra you discard trainers to
 
teir 1:
mother gengar
machamp
kingdra

teir 2:
dusknoir
speedgar
porygon
galatic toolbox
gengar+techs
luxray gl
infernape gl
 
Tier 1

Luxray GL/Infernape 4
Gengar/Nidoqueen (pls no more stupid names)
Dialga G/Palkia G

Tier 1.5

Flygon
Kingdra
Beedrill
Gengar/Crobat G/Cresselia
GG/Weavile/Upper Energy

Tier 2

Machamp
SP Toolbox
Gengar/Machamp
T-tar/Blissey/Weavile
Porygon Z
Magnezone
Blaziken
Eeveelutions

I haven't mentioned Rogue/Metagame counter, cos I think all the above decks will be played and . . . good luck countering all that.

i agree i think that this is a pretty accurate tier thread
 
In this formtat, there is no single BDIF, so best deck is all about metagame, if there is no Luxrays around Kingdra with Unown Gs and Blaiziken PT can be pretty good choise but when Luxray is popular best choise can be Machamp (if Luxrays doesn't play enough Toxicroaks) or Sp. decks that are made to beat other Sp decks. Gengar is doing well and if Machamp iks big, is Gengar the best choise, even if it can lose to Kingdra and Dialga, wich becomes good choises when Gengar is big... The circle is endless.... so Tiers:
1.
Gengar
Kingdra
Luxray
Dialga
Machamp
Awesome rogues

1.5
Beedrill
Good SPs
Flygon
Good rogues

2
Toolbox
Sceptile GE varients
Dusknoir
Gigas
Dusknoir/Dialga
...... and so on

3
Alla unplayable
 
Its no Tier 1.5 either its Tier 1 or Tier 2 so stop with the Tier 1.5. Dialga/Palkia isnt Tier 1 at all. Machamp isn't either since Kingdra beats it easily, Gengar beats it easily, Flygon beats it easily, Beedrill beats it easily,PLOX beats it easily, Blaziken beats it easily.

Mother Gengar is Tier 1.

100% agree. Dialga/Palkia tier 1? Someone is crazy.

Tier 1:
Mother Gengar
Flygon
Luxray and/or infernape 4
Kingdra/Floatzel gl

Tier 2:
Machamp
Beedrill
Other SP's
Blaziken/heatran

and so on.

IMHO.
 
There aren't any 'official' tiers at all, and no rules about how you want to make them.

If someone wants to say 'tier 1.5' because they think those decks are closer to 'tier 1' than is implied by 'tier 2', then I don't see any reason not to. I think it is pretty clear what was meant, which is all that matters.

And Dialga G didn't become a bad card overnight. It got some new counters, some of which are covered by Palkia G. It still has the best Gengar match up of all the top decks, and Gengar will be played . . .
