Before the world championship 2008, were the main two best deck G&G and Magmortar.
But what is it today? I am maybe not the only one who wants to know wich deck is the best. I have seen/heard about decks like Raichu, Kingdra, Machamp, Gengar and so on. Give your opinion or come with knew ideas!
 
Kimgdra is the best deck at the moment, its won the most CCs. Dusky/Gengar is the most overhyped deck.
 
The only reason Kingdra wins so much is due to the fact that its played about twice as much as anything else. Right now there really isn't any best combo, as the format is fairly balanced.
 
kingdra isn't actually the deck that wins everything, it's the deck most seen in the T4. i think the deck that wins everything is definitely dusknoir or gengar (not together)
 
Kingdra is the most consistent to Top Cut
Gengar/Dusky is overhyped and if you play Unown G it is easily countered.
I personally like Torterra as a choice
Regigigas is also another good deck
 
k, well if your looking at it that way then yes but if you are watching who wins and by how much champ is the meta game, it hasn't won hte most but it beats everything.
 
Alright. Put simply, everybody up to this point is wrong, with maybe an exception or two.

Here are the best decks in the current format:

1. Dusknoir/Bronzong - The thing is sick. Forget Gengar, this deck is a beast. I'm not revealing my build, but I will
tell you that it has a magnificent setup by turn 3 or 4 most of the time and that it
slaughters Kingdra and everything else on this list.

2. Kingdol (Kingdra/Claydol) - Still an awesome deck, but not the best.

3. Machamp? - Pretty decent, but it's weak to psychic, the strongest type, and fails in the lategame.

4. Dunno... any ideas? Maybe T-Tar? Or some Torterra variant?

That doesn't make much sense at all.
 
This is a question I never seem to like answering. If you're asking for the deck that wins the most, your answer will obviously be Kingdra and Dusknoir variants. However, you have to keep in mind that these are the decks that nearly every single player plays-- this is partially because they are very good decks, but also is a consequence of conformity. When people see that a good deck is winning several games, everyone builds the exact same deck or some variant of it, and before you know it all you're doing is trying to find counters to a single deck in your game. I think the best decks to play are the ones that your opponent hasn't already prepared to counter. Everyone knows what kingdra does and different techs to counter it. Everyone has a handful of unknown G's in their deck to shut down dusknoir/gengar/turn one machamp. However, there are some seriously strong decks that I've seen completely outplay the usual "metagame clone deck"-- decks like tangrowth, gliscor variants, GG/weaville, magnezone, and types of eeveelutions are all examples of great decks that people aren't already prepared to play against. Do they win all of the time? No, they still need to be well constructed and thoughtful decks, but they often catch the unprepared player and win through a kind of element of suprise. It might not be the answer you're looking for, but it's definitely something to think about
 
Dusknoir hands down. It's the deck that is teched against the most and it's still in 2nd place as far as CCs go. The reason that Kingdra is ahead of it is T1 donks. The last 2 CC I have gone to I have seen more players get up within 1 minute of play then when Riolu, Ape (D/P), or Gallade were doing their share of donking. It hasn't been Machamp, it's been Kingdra donking people left and right.
 
An Abomasnow won cities in my area-- well, went 5-0 (I left after the last round). It beat my deck, but it was nice to see a deck i hadnt seen cloned over and over again. I'm pretty new still, maybe Abomasnow was an old clone, but i havent heard anyone talk about it.

Dusknoi loses to gigas, raichu, spreaders, or anything that plays g and/or weavile. ;/ Gigas is currently bdif but it is quite beatable.
