What are the decks for BR going to be

It's really anyone's guess at this point as this will the "testing grounds" for the new format. Expect to see alot of different decks but mainly

Luxchomp
Dialgachomp
Sable-lock
Lots of Vileplume variants
Donphan Prime
Steelix Prime
 
I myself will be running Donphan Prime, but I expect a few rogues in my area. As per the rest of the world, I expect a lot of Genplume, Luxchomp, Sabelock. Anything else would be considered rogue at this point.
 
In my area it's SP all the way, in my devision no one plays Machamp or Donphan and same with Vileplume. The deck that will win will be, Luxchomp Dialgachomp, Vileplume variants, Donphan Prime and other SP's like Palkia lock (I play Palkia lock). Also I think Machamp will see a bit of play at battle roads, but it won't have the speed to keep up with the other deck, but I do see machamp as a 2-1-2 or a 1-0-1 tech in decks like Kingdra. Overall I think that SP's will win most battle roads.
 
The most played decks are probably going to be Luxchomp, Dialgachomp, Sablelock, Gengar/Vileplume, and Donphan (they are in no specific order).
 
luxchomp will be winning a majority only because such a large volume of people will be playing it. from all the testing i've done, dialgachomp has better matchups and is more stable in this (hypothetical until 2 weeks from now) meta.
 
Luxchomp
Dialgachomp
Steelix
Sablelock
Vilegar
Any fast deck

The odd one out is Steelix, but with tanking, a good draw, and with 120+ damage a turn, Steelix can one-shot most of the meta. I'm expecting to see some Charizard and Scizor, but not much.
 
I agree with what you posted. Scizor is too easily KOed before it gets to tanking, and SPs can snipe around it.
Charizard won't be played by top players because it is too inconsistent because you cannot afford to give up a bench space for an Uxie draw.
 
LuxChomp
DialgaChomp
SableLock
VileGar
and maybe a little of
Donphan
Machamp
Kingdra

Thats what I think will be seen at BRs, but I'm hoping something not on this list will win some BRs, because this list looks kinda boring.
I'm going to be playing Charizard BTW.
 
Lots of SPs and Machamps. Not to mention anything else that was remotely popular last season that's still legal. There might be some KGL, but Machamp kind of screws with it so I don't anticipate many.
