so idk whats good anymore. the only thing seems to be gallade. and i feel bad just copying a deck that i lost to at a citys, but idk what else to make. what else is out there that is good? help a pichu out. thx
 
Magmortar (SW)'s plenty good. So's Bannette (again, SW)

Come now, we've got a LOAD of tricks that fell outta SW. Certainly you can find something inventive to play with something cool like Flygon (yet to see that do well, though it's got all the markings of something amazing other then odd number of HP)

Magmortar (with Delcatty and Typlosion) and Hurricane (Feraligatr, Delcatty, and Magneton) are both viable decks that are commonly played as well.
 
silent swordsman LV3's list is really good, it is just missing Magmortar variants and GatrCatty. Gallade seems to be the play, at least until States.
 
what is going to be the deck during states?

Omastar, perhaps? Assuming we even get that ugly thing :/

Devolving EVERYTHING on the opponent's bench, then TGWing it all away... Not to mention that the fossils have useful bodies now. Looks pretty dang good, and needs to be countered by something... Leafeon LV.X might stand a chance at doing that. Sceptile seems... Iffy, 'cause stage 2s being taken away is rather evil.
 
Magmortar. Eeveelutions are bad, omastar won't be good against speed decks because all they have to do is celios to get it back.
 
Have you really even tried deck testing some of the new cards?

Almost NONE of the decks we have right now will work. Magmortar (FireTRUK), Gardevoir/Gallade, and Blissey all can't seem to find a way to beat Kabutops, and that's just the start of the mess...
