expanded is there but it's unranked only

>>56053453
I also wish they'd bring tournaments back. Playing online tourneys using third-party sites and through friend battles that sometimes won't even load is too hectic. I'm glad you can craft cards now, though.

How would you rank each type in terms of power and how easy they are to make work?

>>56054338
Currently
S
Water
Psychic
Fire
Chien Pao, Baxcalibur, Palkia, Gardevoir, Charizard, and Magma Basin give you a lot of flexibility to do whatever you want with anything of these types.

A
Colorless
Dragon
Colorless has everything it could ever need from Lugia and Archeops. Dragon tends to be paired with the Lost Zone and Mirage Gate to remedy their awkward attack costs, but Raging Bolt has Ogerpon and Sada to function without it. Dragons tend to be strong attackers, they just need extra help to get going.

B
Lightning
Metal
Dark
Electric Generator and Metang, let you do a lot, but it's all based on RNG and even with 15+ energy, you're still not guaranteed that they'll work when you need them to. Dark Patch is fine, but there aren't a lot of good Dark attackers right now besides the Roaring Moons, but they also have Sada to back them up.

C
Fighting
Grass
Fighting really has nothing besides Gutsy Pickaxe to work with so far, Grass has Ogerpon and Gardenia, but nothing to really use it with either, and they're both used in Dragon decks rather than Grass ironically.

Always has been. You should ask Ting Lu how he's doing.

What can I do to improve this deck? I just finished swapping out the Battle VIP passes with Buddy-Buddy Poffins. If anyone has recommendations, please recommend cards that I can get for relatively cheap.

1 Vanillish PAR 44
3 Tsareena ex PAR 46
4 Bounsweet OBF 16
2 Bibarel BRS 121

4 Switch SVI 194
4 Rare Candy SVI 191
1 Earthen Vessel PAR 163

8 Basic {G} Energy SVE 1

Tsareena EX reduces the opponent's mons of my choosing to 30 HP, and Vanilluxe on the bench prevents them from attacking once they're at 40 health or less. Manaphy protects my benched Vanilluxe from taking damage from attacks. Jacq, Irida, Bibarel, and Earthen Vessel are all engine cards.
The biggest weakness I've noticed so far is when the opponent deals damage with abilities rather than attacks. Froslass decks tear through it hardcore.

>>56054650
>Froslass decks tear through it hardcore.
????? Shouldn't they be giving (You) the upper hand since it can also target their mons? Unless they don't have any with abilities, in which case it'll still take a while for them to knock out even a Bibarel. Also where's your finisher? Don't tell me you're really thinking of stalling with Tsareena? Hisuian Braviary is obligatory for it to work.

>>56054574
Ting lu should've worked on all mons, not excluding ex.

>>56054686
I fought a deck today that had three froslass and one munkidori on the bench, so every time their turn started they not only were able to attack with their active mon but also move three damage from their Munkidori to my pokemon, which wiped out the weaker mons on my bench.
>Also where's your finisher? Don't tell me you're really thinking of stalling with Tsareena? Hisuian Braviary is obligatory for it to work.
No no, Tsareena EX has an attack that deals 180 damage, too. So once their whole team is frozen, I just rip through em one by one.

>>56054771
Could also look into the Panic Mask tool as a backup for the Vanilluxe

Been a little while since I picked up a new deck, bought it on a whim just to check out current standard. I have a question. Why are all the borders silver instead of yellow? Greninja EX if it matters.

>>56058451
Japanese cards have always had silverborders. I'm guessing they just wanted them to match, instead of being yellow.
I and many others do like the change, the yellow borders were kinda ugly even if they were iconic. The newer silver ones are so much cleaner

you power it up with energy burn from base set zard and double colorless, it's exclusively for the classic collection decks

Reshizard? If that counts. It's had a few that have appeared like combustion blast EX from flash fire, radiant charizard recently too. Nothing as meta warping as reshizard or tera charizard have been though

Fine if it scaled by 20 instead.
200, 220, 240, 260, 280 for 2 energy is a lot more reasonable. Good attack still while primarily offering an instant 3 energy acceleration

>>56060417
I love how they preemptively balance terapagos to prevent turn 1 ohkos like mega ray did, but allow shit like raging bolt and roaring moon to exist along side it

>>56060417
Is the only way this is balanced over Chien Pao is the energy cost being a bit more awkward?

>>56060535
Bolt also doesn't have an ability that helps itself, but comes with a trait that helps with that (Sada)

>>56060535
It was meant to be balanced around sandy shocks only getting you energy after you're down 2 prizes. But now ogerpon exists who can do it at 6 prizes and helps draw through the deck so you can reliably use sadas instead of other supporters
It's lugia tier degen with how scary printing new energy acceleration cards will be going forward, because bolt can very easily abuse them. It might even see use using glass trumpet and normal types

File: RayquazaEXDragonsExalted85.jpg (239 KB, 736x1026)

And that's why all the rayquaza like cards state only 2 energy types, not all. Or they state only the energy on the card itself.
Being any energy from anywhere leaves too much room for abuse

Okay, maybe a meme deck. You can use stuff like kyurem, reuniclus or any other stage 2 but you need a combo of slowking, reversal energy, night city, and your attacker every turn. And you get PGO slowbro on the last turn.

Pre-rotation zorobox was 6-7 attackers and bricked a lot.
Usable attackers for slowbro are probably Kyurem, PGO Slowbro, Aggron, Ursaluna, Staraptor/Butterfree, and Haxorus
If you had reliable damage counter spread, crobat (2 extra prizes on 30 damage snipe) and kingambit would be amazing. Maybe bring back the alolan raticate deck where you weaken two 2-prizes then ko one with hawlucha and one with crobat.

What's the deal with TCG Live? Complaints about 2-turn EX KO's aside, everyone plays incredibly slowly and draws the matches out as long as possible. Many matches my opponent could finish me offf with 1 attack, but they go through their entire deck first to flex or appease their autism.

Average games in Ranked for me are 20 minutes (~15 opponent, ~5 me), regardless of win or lose, the ratio is ridiculous. I've had at least 2 losing matches where I'm down to an energy-less pokemon, and my opponent runs the clock to 0mins.

I have dual-monitors, so I can play while being productive, but is this massive time sink the state of the game now, or exclusively online play? Only public match I've ever had take this long was against a 11yr old at the League.

Forgot that you could just stick a 1(slowpoke)-1(slowking)-1(slowbro)-1(kyurem)-1(additional attacker) package of some kind into gardevoir. Make the deck even more difficult to setup.

Slowking-only decks probably struggle with briar (denies slowbro) and any healing (turo, cart, collapsed, bumping sky field) to get around damage placing stategies.

I don't play EX or Radient cards, and am pretty straightforward. Only deck I have that pulls a lot of cards is my Ancient deck, but I almost never use it because of all the Charzard\Pidgeot decks.

I could understand if people were trying to stick it to me for taking a while, but even today I saw I was 10minutes deep into a match, and my own timer was at 24:38 left. I've honestly wondered if I've been playing bots.

Figure out which deck you'd like to play first then go for the set that has the majority of those in it. The last few sets have some staples.

You can use the online game to try things out easily. There's websites you can buy digital codes for 50x boosters for $9, and decks for $0.29.

Once you know what you like, you can buy physical singles and boosters all you want.

>>56063380

Buy singles. You're not going to get anything you need out of packs. If you're just getting into the TCG, you need to learn early on that 80%+ of any given set is unplayable pack filler.

Klinklang – Metal – HP140
Stage 2 – Evolves from Klang

Ability: Emergency Spin
Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in your hand and your opponent has a Stage 2 Pokémon in play, you may put this Pokémon onto your Bench.

[C][C] Hyper Beam: 130 damage. Discard all Energy from this Pokémon.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: None
Retreat: 3

I'm glad that they printed a dedicated Chien-Pao killer after all the Chien-Pao decks running rampant in this format.

fair enough, but i think Tera Charizard is the first time a Charizard card got BDIF status. not sure about reshizard, but IIRC PikaZekrom was the BDIF of that era.

Does that mean I can't use another Emergency Spin on another Klinklang if I already used one?

>>56066050
if you have multiple you can use the ability one time for each one you have
there are abilities that mention "once during your turn" + "you can't use more than one [ability name] ability once per turn" which even if you have multiple of those 'mons in play, in your discard or in your hand, you can only use that ability one time

Why is Chien Pao not as prevalent as it was last format? Is it the Raging Bolt matchup?

I'm buying my little sister a Gardevoir EX league deck, plus one of those temporal forces's build and play deck, to see if she's lucky and gets any Flutter Mane.

Any tips? She's just starting the game and I know jack shit

Gardevoir's one of the more complex decks in the format, lots of decisions, lots of sequencing, but it can do well against almost anything. If she can figure it out, she could probably play anything. She's also going to need a Munkidori out of Twilight Masquerade, it's the main reason Gardevoir has had a comeback.

I'm still seething at this bastard from a couple days ago who started spamming the smile emote when he saw I whiffed the piece I needed to win.

On the topic of Live being poorly advertised, I just started playing it this last month to try the TCG for the first time and if I weren't an invested card game player I'd have never heard of it. I play Magic (real life and Arena), Digimon and Marvel Snap. I see ads for Arena/Snap all the time, never seen one for Live. When the game launched I don't remember them sponsoring anybody I subscribe on YT or Twitch to try the game when it launched. I only stumbled upon the game because I was curious if there was a Snorlax deck and clicked a video of someone trying Live.

>>56067500

I don't think people understand that developing an online playerbase isn't the goal. You buy a booster pack, it advertises the online client to you, you play a couple of games and they hope you take the real life cards you just bought and play with them. There isn't even a way to spend money online.

>>56067533
If that's how they view it then it shows a lack of ambition. You can have a robust online client for a game and a thriving physical game as well, Magic and Yugioh have proven that. Pokemon TCG will always be fine but there's people who like playing online card games who don't want to play the physical game or can't.

I had a close match with someone and did the thumbs up emote at the end as a way of saying 'gg'. It's so fucking smug why did I do that?

>>56067668

and the online game is fine, good even considering you never need to spend money on it since it's completely financed by people buying real life product

>>56067718
They made the thumbs up one so passive-aggressive and sarcastic, it has to be on purpose. It's too over-exaggerated for it to be innocent.

>>56067732
Agreed my only point is that they should want to advertise the client more and have people play it (you could also have that start playing online and switch to physical). Also it really is just a buggy mess, like that Summer video above showed with the YT comments. Live just feels like a huge afterthought right now especially with that new, simplified version coming out.

Not to mention that you can't play Live in some regions like Asia so you need a VPN to play. You don't even get code cards from booster packs here lol

The fact JP doesn't even have code cards really shows they're not trying to promote the client.. it's more a side thing really. That's why we never get advertising for it, and why it's in such a sorry development state as there's no pressure for making it good...

The client is hardly ever relevant in Japan because they're constantly playing a different format than us, being 1-2 sets ahead at all times. Japanese players will download it to practice for worlds and that's it.

So what would happen if I wished upon a star and Japan and America got sets at the same time? I thought they'd work that out seeing as they've already started phasing out yellow borders. Would governments collapse? What incentive is there to not sync them up?

>>56069146
What was it, Obsidian Flames last year? We got our pre-release at the same time as their full release. We were only 2 weeks apart at that point and then they went back to the normal schedule. There's no reason they can't do worldwide release, especially considering English versions of the Stellar ex's got leaked like two months ago and we still won't get them until like September.

>>56069146
>>56069162
Japs would either need to wait longer for sets to get the combined versions global gets. Or global gets the minisets with 5 card packs. If one were to happen I could see the JPs getting their packs changed to match ours.

As for why they don't do it? Who knows. I don't think they like the 5 card packs and box rates other there either. Since any FA is 1 per box, so good luck getting any SR or SIR when a regular FA cucks the entire box

>>56069146
the only reason why English and Japan has different releases was because it's a byproduct of Wizards's autism. Wizards tried doing things their way, and when TPCi took over, they didn't course correct.

How would you build around Magcargo ex? My best thoughts are Cyphermancer to get the cards where you want them and then some retrieval to bring energy back into play, but that's only good for 4 attacks and you need a way to get then, assuming they're not in your prizes. What else do I need?

They seem to put way too much attention to iron crown and boost giving +20 damage, so their personal damage is fucking garbage.

Like sure it's a basic vs ninetales but ninetales has a lot more support while dealing more damage... and ninetales is redeemed as awful

Sure, it’s not Iron Hands so it’s not going to see play, but 170 for 2 and a new type for future box on a basic is great. No clue what the fuck you guys want here. If it did 200 for 2 energy before iron crown would you be satisfied? Do you really want a one prizer with minimal investment taking out vstars and stage 1 exs?

How are you building it up consistently? How are you matching your hand with the opponent consistently? Future does not support these things at all, it's got piss poor energy acceleration and they completely struggle with drawing in general, let alone trying to match your opponents hand.
>but don't use it in the future package without crowns
and now it's damage doesn't do anything worthwhile for how many hoops you're jumping through

It's one of those cards that looks good on paper but the more you look at how to make it work, the more hopeless it becomes. Future lacks engines and support, not more attackers. There's plenty of what could be good attackers there already, just no support or synergy to enable them

This is the shittiest meta yet

Default no. It's been free on battlepass during SV release and during paldea fates release. Most the gardy core cards have been in other free decks as well like gholdengo's battlepass

Every fucking time it pops up it's turn 0 and the only basic pokemon in the hand
Fuck it

Why are the PTCGL player level-up rewards so piddly? Fucking 100 gems, 200 dust. Not even enough for an Pokémon ex card to treat yourself for leveling up.

>>56085884
Level up rewards are just filler, the entire leveling thing shouldnt exist anyhow. It's really just there so you're still "gaining" something by placing after capping the battlepass. Considering how much the battlepass gives I give the rest some slack, you really get so much off that

>>56085999
Checked

It just shouldn't exist if the reward will be so miniscule. It's like if they were to mail me $0.05 or something. It's not worth the disappointment of opening the letter to find that it contains just a nickel.

>>56085884
>>56085999
>>56086013
Every game has to have some sort of level system now. They didn't want to ascribe any meaningful rewards to the levels but having nothing would make it totally pointless so they're just added as a token gesture. Dunno what I'd replace it with though. Maybe just bonus promo cards or hats.

I've only just started playing since Twilight Masquerade came out. What happens when the new set is released? Do we all get a new batch of decks for free?

>>56086209
new passes are timed with new expansions releasing and you get one/two of them when a new pass is out

>>56086209
New battlepass that gives a free deck and a secondary deck if you buy the battlepass. So just those 2 decks + all the packs n shit off the new battlepass also.
If you withhold on crafting new cards and wait on getting them from the battlepass packs, you can stockpile a bunch of credits to use on older cards you need

I don't play the TCG, however my nephew collects and loves the cards. Rather than throwing out the code cards, I figured you guys might enjoy them.

Why is everything in the Stellar Crown set more expensive than normal? The retailer I usually buy from sells booster boxes for 150CAD and ETBs for 50CAD. The SC BB on pokemon center is 211CAD and their ETB is like 78CAD...

>>56089036
My bad; it seems the retailer I use sells them cheaper than Pokémon center. That's dumb.

>>56089198
Main set vs special set in the TCPi regions depends on whether standard booster boxes are available. I don't know whether shrouded fable has those, but it does have regular blister packs for the pecharunt promo.

>>56089253
Shrouded fable has like 90 cards too, when it's usually 220+ on main sets. That's the biggest giveaway it's a special set

I thought that Stellar Crown would end up smaller because it doesn't have to include a miniset but apparently not.

170 for just a base set with no special set tagged on is massive yeah.
They might even slip in some of the battle academy cards like darkrai ex since they did that before in fusion strike

>>56089180
Didnt we get a battle pass for paldean fates?

>>56083261
Then Team Star Grunt.
One of those and you force them to discard an energy before slapping them with 280-420 damage.
If they don't have an energy to put away Cyphermaniac allows you to guarantee 280 damage by using one of your own.

>>56089325
>Pokemon GO (summer) - no battle pass
>Crown Zenith (winter) - battle pass (global beta)
>151 (late summer) - no battle pass
>Paldean Fates (winter) - battle pass
>Shrouded Fable (summer) - battle pass
There hasn't been enough releases to determine a pattern.

>>56089325
Yeah we did, it might've been because we had a same week worldwide release for paradox rift with JP the set prior. So the wait till temporal forces would've been too long

Anyone knows if that new design for energies will be a new print for all of them? I mean like that pack inside the etb's, all of them will have that new style? or it's a new kind of holo for random ones like holo energies from SV151?

Haven't played since Duraludon VMax was viable and at it's peak.

I see Charizard is in the meta, is it actually GOOD? how long 'til he drops in viability and sucks? I did like playing Charizard VMax as well, though it definitely struggled (or maybe I just did)

>>56089603
151 etb had normal energy, it was just in the packs there which had random ones. This etb seems to have the new energy? So can't really tell if the packs will also have them. It'd say the packs would have those new energy too though, wouldn't make sense to just print it for the etb only

>>56089637
>how long 'til he drops in viability and sucks?
Currently it has a small dip in performance. It was the dominant deck in the last format and gets buffed again in the next format.

>>56089603
it's like with BRS, new energies now in all ETBs and packs until further notice

Dusclops/Dusknoir give it more control in what damage it deals. Fezendipiti and Poison Mochi might help it too. Then in Stellar Crown it gets Briar to throw off an opponent's prize mapping.

>>56089707
I see. thanks for the info. I'm not a fan of those pokes but I guess I gotta run em to keep up

based of Live to just give me all the cards for this Chard deck off the bat, though.

>>56090011
Terapagos is what causes terrastralize in the games. It has a special tera itself called stellar, other mons can also be stellar if you change them to it
You keep your original type but now each of your moves gains the tera bonus damage (once per type so fire blast would get it but using another fire move after like fireblast/flamethrower would not. While if you used shadow ball it would as it's your first use of a ghost move)

Stellar is pretty shit in game and basically nobody uses it over regular terra types. From the TCG is looks like it's just as useless, with those meme triple rainbow energy costs
