If anyone has any info about Florida Regionals, primarily the top-32 players and/or decks, or if you have a link where the info might be available, please post below. The only thing I've seen this morning is a vid from The Meta Deck discussing their Full Retaliation Gyrados List. Any stream links for the top cut battles would be great as well. Thanks! :)

Not a single Scizor deck is notable. As are the Gyarados decks slipping in. I am most curious to see the build for the Vileplume toolbox decks. Item lock then Ninja Boy to a suitable attacker would be my guess, but that could be a very technical build and I'd love to see the choices and counts.

I forget. Is top cut for TCG the Top 16 or Top 8?

Also, all those different decks showing up in Top Cut is a pretty nice surprise. I bet the Gyarados deck also used Mew-EX in the list. Greninja being in the Top 16 is unexpected, though. You would think with so much item lock around that Greninja would struggle just to place for prizes; but then again, it's a single prize, 170 HP Water type that still runs a lot of Bursting Balloons.

Raichu/Bats - cool! More surprising to me tho is the presence of so many Darkrai/Giratina decks. I played that deck a ton just after rotation and found it to be average at best. I found the garb build to be too inconsistent, but I'm assuming the presence of so much Volcanion and Mewtwo was huge so it must've swing things just right.

Also, I see that Team Fish Knuckles is doing a live stream of day 2 on YouTube.

So six of the top eight decks were Garbodor variants. That's pretty interesting. Building your own non-ability deck (since you are running Garb), means you can still survive in a meta of other Garb. How centralising.

Ok, I know that gyarados is receiving a ton of hype, but why aren't more people taking about the fact that a Raichu, GOLBAT deck is in top 10 at this tournament? Been trying to find a deck list on that thing and I can't seem to find one.

Hey yeah, good point! I'm gonna try building this!

So do you think the Mega Gardevoir decks that placed for prizes used all STS Megas or a mix of Steam Siege and Primal Clash/Generations?

How would this deck deal with M Mewtwo?

Honestly, why are you all asking for lists? Half the stuff is gonna go on pokemon.com and you can find all the other lists on sites I'm not allowed to mention here.

Because the official website has always been slow when it comes to deck uploads, and people like to be able to play decks like Raichu / Golbat early.

Anybody know the build for the Yveltal/Garbodor deck that one?

From what i could see it was built around yveltal bkt, yveltal ex, and what seemed like a 2-2 garbodor line. I never saw if Azul played a shaymin or not, would be crazy to find out that no shaymin was played
