First for Maractus a cute!
Are you going to play Pocket?
Are there any decent item lock/ability lock/deck out cards in Standard at the moment?
>>56424922Item lock there's venomoth+froslass variants. There's luxray ex which is an item control deck letting you discard their cards, but they can still play themAbility lock is just iron thorns right now, no other ability lock in the format sadlyDeck out there's great dusk mill or just snorlax stall
>>56424717yeh i at least try out everything this company releases but we'll see if it sticks around
>>56424922>>56424968>item lockthere's also banette ex but I've seen it less lately>deck outgreat tusk or wugtrio mill decks
>>56424922for ability locking I just put in a couple flutter manes in my deck. Im not sure if its decent or better than iron thorns but they've shut down most people that Ive played against.
>>56424968>>56425053I've got a Great Tusk deck. Is there any merit to having that and Wugtrio in the same deck? They both use colourless for their mill attack so in theory could work.
>>56425412nah either one or the other as they don't share the same base. For example the wug includes the triple rainbow energy while tusk does not use it
>>56425442Makes sense.Time to run two mill decks >:)
>>56425582let us know how it goes before you're banned :)
When are we getting a new Durant mill deck
I'm looking at the meta in Japan and confused as fuck why their Terapagos aren't utilizing Crown Opal more. Ogerpon, Raikou V, and either Palkia/Terapagos or just Terapagos and not using the water energy on anyone but Radiant Gren with Glass Trumpets and Energy Switch + Crispin doesn't seem that horrendous, and Crown Opal is a better defensive stance than running the Bouffalant combo that gets eaten alive by Dragapult and Bolt.
>>56426424Because it just get boss'd and the attack is nullified. There's way too much gust in the format. Counter catcher was a fucking mistake to reprint. It should've been 2 prize difference to activate. Them being able to item gust your terapagos because you kill a pidgey is dumb as hell
any of you have a preference for outer sleeves? looking for pick up a couple packs of them and would like opinions
>>56426769I've only tried dragonshield clear outer for some ETB sleeves where the art goes with the deck and they're quite nice
>>56426538The main use for Crown Opal is walling Raging Bolt while not needing a full bench. Raikou can hit above 300, Oger can Briar KO Zard, the deck seems a lot more manageable than just having a 220 2-prize beat stick and praying they don't have a way around the damage reduction, which all the top decks do baked into their strategy.Though I do think this strategy requires Lillie's Clefairy to really do well, since it makes Dragapult fodder.
>Normal ass Terapagos EX is $27 in my areaHow? Is his effect that good?
>she doesn't look at results in JapanNGMI rock dweller
>>56424697As always, the ESL is FPWP.
>>56424717no i dont play anything this company releases but we'll see if it eos in a year
>>56426813Bolt has like 4+ gusting options You can just gust their ogerpons/fez/mew to ohko also, with noctowl they're easy to grab. Trying to hope crown opal sticks is optimistic in this meta>>56426886Pre release prices still. You only need 1-2 anyway since they're just benchsitters half the time. Water/fighting ogerpon probably have jumped up from being worthless also for that reason
>>56426905I don't see any ESL indication in his post>X a cute!Is normal 4chan lingo
>loses on second turn
>professor quiz>unclear stupid questionsfuck this
skill issue
>>56424979>apply this logic to azelf – use the ability with no cards in the hand and you get a prize card for freeBut anon, you just picked up a pokemon and put it in your hand. It is a card in your hand and therefore it goes back into the prizes.
Newbie here starting out with the new set. I want to build a deck around the new Lapras ex card. Is this viable?
>>56427276Uhhh... not really. It's honestly a really bad card..
>>56427276>new setgo for terapagos or galvantula, try them out on live and see which one you prefer then buy singles
>>56427293Ok, what makes it a bad card? I'm a total newbie just trying to build my first deck. >>56427308Terapagos did catch my eye, as did Venusar.
>>56427325Lapras does 40x each energy attached to it. There's a chien-pao card that does 60x each energy discarded. So if you're stacking energy on them you need far less energy on chien-pao to OHKO stuff. And it has a good ability to search out more energyYeah lapras does keep the energy on it after, but you really shouldn't expect your active to survive till the next turn, so the discarding effect on chien-pao isn't really a problem
which deck would you consider the most overplayed?
is the TCG fun again?
bot posters go away
>>56426905Imagine outing yourself as a newfag like this.
>>56427397Depends when you dropped out. It's FAR better than tagteam shit Current game people call fun and healthy, there's a lot of evolutions and stage 2s that are viable. It's normally big basic mons dominating but not currently
>>56427530What? Regidrago was the singular pokemon that 'evolved' in the top 8 of worlds. It's big basics right now.
>>56427588I assume they mean that big basics aren't the *only* option. You can play things like Dragapult or dark Zard. There are a lot of basics at the top of the meta but they're not the only viable option.
>make a mill deck>win some matches online>get fuck all pointsWhats the deal here? Do you get more points per KO or something?
>>56427175Fuck
The existing of this card may imply that zygarde gotta be broken af.
>>56427198This would work really well with Ceruledge. But it comes with the cost of putting useless energies in your deck that you can't use to attack. Also the chance of it being the starting basic. And also that you'd need to play it from your hand which is kinda hard to do with no Level/Quick Ball around.
>>56428281It works betten than perfect mixer imo.
>>56428337Huh? Only 1 Drilbur but 7 Fighting energies? How are you going to use the ability again?
>>56428379It can be, but you might not want a Squawk and 2 Drillbur sitting dead on the bench.
>>56428524I mean if you're only using Drilbur once then just cut down the F energies to 4-5, 7 is overkill and I'd rather have something I can use to attack than just be retreat fodder.In second thought, since Area Zero stadium is popular, it's not rare for you to bump one or two mons to the discard when you play another stadium. You can discard your Drilbur and get it back again with Stretcher.And one more, no love for picrel?
other than a tech in sylveon, is there a chance for Glimmora ex to work?
>>56428771
>>56428792>other than a tech in sylveon
don't bite the hand that feeds you, bot
>>56428771I guess some kind of stall deck? I can only think of pairing it with Froslass for damage over time. There's really not much of an option since you need to have it on the active to use its ability.Hit and run attackers maybe? There's Golisopod, and other hit and runnners with worse damage output.Or maybe someone that can actually attack from the bench like Alakazam ex?That's about everything I can think of.
>>56428664well....
>>56429002But you can discard 5 with Raifort while only 4 with this. Or can you not put 2 cards in your hand and just discard all 6?
>>56429042you have to place 2 in your hand and discard the restin the rare case you only have 1 card in deck, you can only place 1 of the 2 in your hand, and you discard the rest, which is 0
bros I just want to play the tcg but it's down...
>>56429239yeah it's a pretty retarded game
What's the best set to make profit at the moment?
>>56429278fuck off retard>>56407081
>>56428771It used to be fun in rapid strike urshifu. Currently there's nothing for it really, fighting in general has a huge lack of synergy for anything. Koraidon is ass in the face of rotom and other energy accel in the format

How about a match? *opens up deck box*
>>56429358>have a green deckbox with an apple sticker and red sleeves ready to gonow I just need the cards

>buy codes on eBay>that code has already been redeemed by someone else
>>56429796*hero's capes u*
>>56429796I thought the bouffalant version was pretty bad? It's the palkia one you should be worried about
>>56429843Palkia has already dropped off in japan but even then the japanese meta has always been weird as shit
>>56429882After dragapult flopping here despite being massively hyped up there(and still is??) I wouldn't fully trust JP metas yeah
>>56430092That's what I meant and i'm still amazed it's doing so well in japan after achieving nothing at worlds
>>56424968>>56424922not meta relevantno one is running that garbageyou can play tcg online and troll a few wins (and go 2 for 10) but literally WHAT is the fucking point?>regidrago>charizard>chien>miraidon>Rmoon (meme)>raging bolt (not recommended)>garde\iron val (not recommended)take your pickif you cant SEE what TPC is forcing as the upcoming worlds meta you have no fucking chance anonkun
>>56430608& of fucking course troll thornsbut even an absolute shitter should be able to deal with thateven zorua hisuian beats it KEK
>>56430608>raging bolt (not recommended)Why not? I'm a shitter and I do pretty well with it. The ability of that deck to save you from your own fuckups is impressive.
do not respond to nonsensical AI posters please
I know generally you shouldn't buy the premium battle pass with the extra tiers but would it be worth it if I could just barely finish the bp with help from the extra tiers?
>>56430780I haven't calculated it but at the very least 10-15 levels is needed for the best rewardsafterwards you get coins and crystals which are meh but clearing the pass ends with more than what you spent on it
Today I was watching random vids about TCG lore, I learned about this card and now I am in despair! Look at that perfect design cute girl forever doomed to be obscure! It's not fair!
>>56430608for fun? tcg online games are fast so getting btfo by some meta doesn't matter also you gotta realise next worlds meta basically all of those are kill from rotation>drago gardy dead>moon is dead with no dark patch>zard loses set up mons and radzard>chienpao and bolt loses greninja, pokestop so not the worstthe rotation post meta is going to be completely unknown. all the swsh shit is gone and we'll have new engines like trade zoroark to replace bibarel
>>56430780You can buy a tier for 200, so it's cheaper to manually buy tiers until you buy 6, if you need anymore, then it's cheaper to buy the premium pass with bonus tiers. Were you late to this battlepass or something? You have ample enough time to finish it just logging in for 1-2 matches a day to do daily missions. I often have 2 weeks left spare doing that
>already have Iono's milkbox.>But I want to buy another one just to have one "new and sealed" in displayI am based or insane for wanting to do this?
>>56431019Fuck off >>56407081
>>56424717Depends if it works with card codes, I have several but I refuse to play live because its disgusting avatars.
>>56430989Well we already have noctowl now and just make sure you buy your ogerpons now whilst they're still only $10
>>56430791>>56431003yeah I just started I'd have to go crazy to reach tier 15 but if I did I could get the premium to reach level 30.
>>56431140Well you still have daily missions for tomorrow so that's basically lvl 10 with a little bit of manual playing to get the last 200xpAnd being honest, since this battlepass is a short one the rewards were reduced for this one (there's only 1 crate for example at 30 when we usually get 1 at 40 and 1 at 50). Getting the lvl 10 for the FA okidogi and crystals seems like a fine stopping point, the rewards past that arent all that amazing. Unless you really wanted the SR dark/fire energy, those are crazy expensive to craft (2k each). Even buying celebrations packs you wouldn't get enough credits to make that make SR energy, so that's really the only thing worthwhile past lvl 10
post your decklists
>>56431637I'm just waiting on stellar miracle at this point to edit my decks with a bunch I stole off pokecabook, to find out which lists I prefer
>>56431717Send me the link for the Conkeldurr ones. Or just post them I guess
>>56431722I try to pick a couple vers of a deck to see what types of changes people make between them. Top one has hassel which is interesting to try out

I just want Expanded format. Is that so much to ask?
>>56431637>>56431717>>56431736where are these images from? How can I make my decklist this pretty?
How can i become the very best?
>>56424657retard sub human Canadian cockroach kill them https://twitter.com/J_Analysis
>>56432556Most are from this site which compiles a bunch of JP lists that do well>https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Otherwise "limitless" has the black background ones, you can use their tool to generate your own decklist images pasteing your deck in here>https://limitlesstcg.com/tools/imggenThe first anon you replied to just showed their decklist on ptcgl mobile I believe, for some reason the mobile version lets you see your full decklist visually but not the PC client >>56432085By feel yeah, most lists carry over knowledge between them so you can usually pick them up and have an idea on what to do. I kinda struggle with control-like ones since you need to know them individually. Why I don't have many control lists there
>>56432878Play Zard
>>56432556It was generate from japan website
>>56433184Zard ironically makes you worse at the game, because it gets to ignore issues other stage 2 decks have.
hit 2000 points on laddertomorrow and the new cards really can't come soon enough
>>56433090>>56433206that's nice thank you for the info
>>56432556tcgo app on ios for mine its literally just a screengrab from the ingame deckbuilder
>opponent beats you>starts loudly cheering and all his friends mob himI don't know how many times this has happened to me now but I think people respect me a lot given that I never see this shit happen to anyone else
How many points do you reckon to reach the end of the bar?
>>56430114What do you mean? Dragapult ex made top cut at Worlds 2024.
>>56435348In regidrago Dragapult itself (the deck japan is all hyped about still) first appearance in worlds was 123rd placehttps://limitlesstcg.com/tournaments/420
What the fuck.
>>56435455
>>56435455>>56435459Melmetal was one of the kids battle decks, those are always shit ex that end up being filler cards slotted into sets. Kanga was a normal set release
>>56435474Oh my bad it was the battle academy box along side other garbo cards like lucario and darkrai ex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_EbKJZmTPs
>>56435218Maybe 5000
>>56430989Chien pao loses irida too. The deck is essentially dead and will become a clunky messI hope they print a supporter that is an item + stage 2 search..
>>56436177How good is this super conditional card?
>>56435730Jesus those must be the lewdest sleeves Pokémon has ever released.
>>56436301Not sure but the dream is>you have 4 prizes remaining, Opponent has 3>Use the Magneton from surging sparks on iron hands>equip the iron hands with this>counter catcher to bring out fez or squawkabilly>Use Briar>take 4 prizes and win
>>56436351The dream actually is>Opponent is at 3 or 2 prizes, you're at 4>Use Dusknoir for 1 prize>Briar at appropriate time in turn>Counter catcher if needed>Swing for 300/330 damage for 3 prizes
>>56436367That also works yeah
>>56436351You missed the part where Briar only works if you attack with a Tera Pokémon. Iron Hands isn't Tera.
>>56436416Oh, you're right, I'm stupid
>>56436301Could work with him too
>>56436346I want this one so bad
>>56436416What are the current viable Tera Pokemon besides Zard and Pult (lol)? I feel like even with the amount of Teras we have there's really only a couple that are worth playing, and none of them are used for utility.
>>56436532Grass ogerpon is the only utitility tera used right now.
I finally reached master league and finished the battle pass just in time after all those defeats i suffered
I just had a Miraidon use its attack, then next turn retreat, switch in and use it again. Am I misreading something and it can just do that or is Live bugged?
>>56436844whenever a pokemon leaves the active spot, any effects are removedthis is a common play for pokemon that can't attack next turn, switch (cart), retreat and attack again
>>56436855
>>56436301It's alright, mainly used in pidgeot (dragapult/charizard) decks because you can find it out easily when you need it. With dusclops you can ensure a usage of it always. Some raging bolts are using it so ogerpon can work with it, but that seems super greedy and just a brick card most the time
>didn't manage to register for Lille.It's over. At least I'll clock in a ton of games online in October.
i want to buy some decks to play some casual matches with frindswhats the best way to get like 3 decks?going singles is probably cheapest but its gonna be a hassle making decks myself and then finding sellers for the cardsoffial pre built cost like 15 bucks per decks which i think is a bit much
Which sleeves do you recommend?I haven't played in 10 years and I'm not that good a shuffling.
the bots are posting again...
it’s only been 5 matches but hydrapple bros he hasn’t lost
>>56437361What's your decklist? I'm thinking of putting Toedscruel in as a bonus attacker, as well as baby Toedscruel.
Palkia is fun
I'm now 9-1 with Crown Opal.W's>Dragapult (was close)>Hisuian Zoroark? (it was a Doduo that got donked)>Raging Bolt x3>Dialga Vstar>Charizard x2>GardevoirL's>Dragapult (was close)I did not expect it to be so easy to shit all my energy onto the board instantly. I need an option for Mimikyu but this does not seem bad at all so far.
>>56438038Looks interesting I will give it a try
>>56438071Dragapult is really hard, you need to prey on their Pidgeots and other benched 2 prizers or get off an early Gren play. The one I won Jirachi came in huge as it let me use Fez's attack from 0 to kill the benched Drakloak before he took his last 2 prizes after being Iono'd to nothing.Like with Palkia and the trumpets you can easily get like 6-8 energy on the board by turn 2, I was running heavy Crispins and then realized I only play it like once a game. I was thinking of teching in Fan Rotom solely to kill Mimikyu but I'll just take the L now, nobody is playing control right now on the ladder with Pult all over the place.
*replaces kieran*
I killed 4 Joltiks this game before winning next turn on the Mew.
> winrate ladder / winrate friendsThis is probably the most schizo behavior I will adapt for regionals.
>>56438466But how is it going to help me kill ex and V pokemon
Is Crabominable/Kofu a good rogue deck? If not I'm sticking to Conkeldurr
>>56438807it's not only better, but a nihonbro won a city league with it iirc, the list came up on pokecabook.
>>56438807Conk is better imo. Fighting is a VERY good type in our current format, so much is weak to it.
>>56438846right, I forgot we just got stellar crown cards.
>>56438852Yeah ohkoing all the terapagos and galvantula around is gonna be free. Plus others like fez make fighting good (tho conk itself ohkos that in raw damage anyway)
Pretty sure I just lost to a glitch. Greninja drew only one card when I had two left in my deck, and the last card was Underdepths. Is that known?
>>56438837How is Crab better tho? Regardless of typing, it does less damage without the poison. It's only better in easier to setup, but even then you still need the discard 5 Ace Spec which we don't have yet.
aieeeeeeeeee let me attack you turtle loser
Yeah it wants me to quit for the night. Gren and heavy ball prized 3 games in a row isn't normal.
>try the palkia gengar deck>Haven't drawn gengar or munki a single timeHmmmm
>>56438038Alright I've played a shitton of this now. Not gonna count the lol ptcgl brick losses (why did I start Lumineon and 8 energy in a row and then same thing but Ogerpon...)Very good matchup>Raging Bolt, Chien-Pao, Palkia, Ancient BoxGood matchup>Gardy, Froslass decks, Charizard, Roaring Moon, GalvantulaEven-Slightly Favored>Regidrago, Normal TerapagosEven-Slightly Unfavored>LugiaUnfavored Matchup>DragapultVery Unfavored Matchup>Didn't play any Miraidon or control so I don't know. Any basic-only deck that isn't other Terapagos just buckle instantly to this, I don't know why Japan wasn't trying it with Bolt being like 20% of the meta and Zard being another 15%. Maybe I just got insanely lucky but outside of games where all my key cards were prized and shit I never felt out of any game.
>>56439169>I don't know why Japan wasn't trying it with Bolt being like 20% of the metaZero hand disruption against a deck with 6 gust outs isn't an auto win like you think it is.Or is lone terapagos an easy board state to achieve?
>>56439195I've done it every time but one where they discarded a catcher turn 1 so I had two Terapagos, Gren and a Squawk. They would have needed counter + Briar in one turn to win and they didn't have it.
>>56438038>>56439169I'm not sure how you're getting any results with this every game i've tried has just bricked out instantly
>>56439282I'm killing a Drago right now with it. He had a shit hand but I started Palkia and still set up turn 1.
>>56439356Correction, I set up Palkia in the game prior and got a turn 1 attack off before conceding. That one I started with Raikou.I did sub in a Mew ex for consistency's sake and it's been really good.
New to the game and I'm making a casual deck to work with him. What kinds of cards will help support setting him up and reducing or healing damage? I've got garganacl, gutsy pickaxe, grant, lake acuity, the bomb ace spec, and rock chestplates so far but I want to see if I can stack even more.
>>56439437theres a few pokemon with abilities like munkidori and oricorio that can help with reducing damage.
>>56439437>healing damagemy sweet summer child, you will be dead in one hit KEKor 2hko>defiance band will increase damage output by 30 if you are losing>heroes cape will give you 100+ additional HP>>56439711choose this instead with rescue boards and double energy or cards that let you add extra energy per turn>>56438038i-i-i-im NINE and ONE guise!!!in what rank? jesus no one cares you can beat 7yr olds with your shitty deck anon>recs= take a regional winning deck and make minor edits then try posting again
Have a random code I never usedJYM-YQRR-RC4-LKY
>>56439437God I love the art of this card.Anyways, Vengeful Punch is perfect for this mon. And there's Rocky Helmet too if you're positive that you can survive a hit, but I think Vengeful Punch is often times better.There's really no other options for lessening damage outside of the cards you mentioned.Since you're expecting for your Lycanroc to get hit (and die) you can utilize Fezandipiti ex to get 3 cards everytime one of your mon dies.But beware of attacks with effects like Scary Fangs: it loses the effect of it gets switched to the bench. So try to not get gusted (impossible).Also you'll need energy acceleration if you want to keep attacking each turn. Garganacl is actually a nice choice since it both accelerates energy and heals.Anon's suggestion of Hero's Cape isn't bad either, it adds +100 HP which makes Lycanroc a 360 HP mon which is pretty hard to OHKO.

I just want a winning/meta/broken decklist that I don't have to think about and use it to grind the battle pass. I miss expanded back in PTCGO because it was very difficult for players to have the cards needed to win since crafting didn't exist so winning was easy for me.

d-don't laugh
How come Dusclops/noir is viable but this card isn't?
>>56440521poor grass attackers at the momentwhat are you gonna charge it to? venusaur ex?
>>56440521Nothing to use with it, and 2 prizes for 5 energy is more than 1 prize for 50/130 damageThere's a new upcoming magneton which is 3 energy for 1 prize on an electric type, it just shows how bad forretress is
>>56440521>>56440621>>56440745Would it be worth if the ability caused it to give one fewer prize card if it was knocked out that way?
I got mailed this booster pack code for Pokémon TCG Live, feel free to redeem it.X67-XKT4-7LX-LXV
sir pls redeem
>>56424657Guys, I have started playing TCG game for GBC and wanted to ask if the tips for deckbuilding in OP are applicable to this old format. I've watched few vids on old meta and every time the consensus was that the old decks were shit, but they never show what a "good" deck would look like.
>>56441025Not a bad haul, cheers anon!
>>56441209you can solo the game with blastoise it lets you add as many energy as you wanthaymaker decks do well tooelectabuzz hitmonchan scytherthis is the wrong thread for that though
>>56440898Yeah for sure, 2 prizes for only 5 energy is just so much of a commitment. Even if you could ohko their 2 prizers each turn afterward, they will still be ahead in the prize race, it's always unfavorable to you. There would have to be a grass attacker which can take 3 prizes in a turn for forretress to be worthwhile
the only way I can think of if there's some kind of attacker that can use the 5 energy and tank a hitthen you could double KO your 2 forretress and go Briar KO for 3 prizes, next turn Briar KO for 3 prizesthat's just such an ideal scenario that's nearly impssible to pull off
>>56441300Glad it helped you a bit!
>>56441542Forretress ursaluna kinda does that, with bravery charm+penny to tank them. but even that is still able to be ohko'd, and it can't ohko some stage 1/2s in format too.
>>56440521>why cant i start the game 4-6 and still winuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>56441209is this official art?DAT ASS
>>56436470i have these :3

>>56441839VERY RIGGED, VERY WEIGHTEDkinda hard to figure out what needs to change if they fuck with your draws (statistical IMPROBABILITIES constantly)the app is fucked with\rigged to make "exciting" plays\drawsretarded

>>56441910sometimes you gotta play to your outs still, there's been games i've won since they didn't actually have boss in hand. still 4 minutes tho..
I just installed Live yesterday, can someone get me up to speed on all the things I'm supposed to hate and complain about so I can start bitching ASAP?
>>56441134A little late, but managed to snag the code. Didn't really get anything noteworthy, except for this. Ty, anon
>>56439950Thank you!>>56440203Well yeah, but it's a pet deck. I'm making it because I want to play and make my favorite as good as possible, if I lose then that's okay.>>56440274Thank you so much, Vengeful Punch is perfect.Fezendipiti would definitely help with recovering, I wonder if I can make use of Cruel Arrow too? It seems unlikely.And thank you for the warning about gusting. I was already planning on using the Deluxe Bomb ace spec, but I'll definitely consider switching to Cape if it doesn't work out. That +100 will be even more valuable with the effective healing and reductions; though I still know that pokemon is a high damage game and not to overvalue it.
>>56440203My experience with years of /vp/ is that tryhard people like you are usually 10x worse than random regulars at my locals. You probably would get blown up by their meme decks like Galvantula/Regis and Cradily playing your netdecked Raging Bolt and then seethe about it.
Found this custom tournament happening in a couple days, if anyone cares.https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/66da78615bc39d158a9dd47e/detailsPlease post your best Memehone.
>>56442144The fact that he suggested to switch to Lycanroc V with "double energy" already tells you that he's just talking out of his ass and just wants to be seen as someone who "knows better" kek
>glc
>try out the new Dragapult>first game crystal + all 3 fires prized>second game Fez start with all my Pults and candies and get donked by Bolt
>>56442144retarded take post rank i got 3rd place at locals during neogenesis era as a fucking 13yr old child, back then the adults played the kids in the same pool
What did he mean by this
>>56437130Pls respond
It's always funny how Live's dogshit shuffler makes tier 1 decks feel rogue and rogue decks feel tier 1 all the same.
you are a schizo
>>56442853Gravity stone as a tech card actually fucks over a lot of deck pivots. I doubt that was their intention but it's not the stupidest thing
>>56442993I usually just go with Dragon Shields, they've got nice color variety and the quality is pretty well regarded. I've heard good things about Katana sleeves as well. Avoid the ones that come with ETBs, they've improved a little bit but they're not that good in general.
>>56443114this , for actual shufflingkmc hypermat are nice too>>56442993>muh dickywnbaw
>>56442993Dragon Shield is the cheapestIf you fancy your deck with anime find a protector

I didn't get the Galvantula Deck nor the rewards from getting the premium pass even though I purchased it.>1250 crystals>Terapagos sleeves>All the cards from the Galvantula DeckWhat do?
>>56443097Is Spidops ex good now?
Imagine designing a card as bad as Shartzard Ex. What were they thinking?
Fun is back into the menu>>56438510Blissey seems kinda useless with hourglass and the tera ace spec into the meta
It amazes me how much people overpay for new cards there's no way terapagos is worth over $10

What's being played in Baltimore?

>>56444481craps
pultbros...
Why is there so much raging bolt on the ladder still? It gets absolutely farmed by terapagos, there's no way to win thatIs raging bolt like the new miraidon? The best deck for quick laddering then?
>>56444416I did. They were very polite and resolved things quickly. I was honestly impressed.
>>56444950I had trouble climbing with Raging Bolt. I switched to Iron Thorns. Much easier.
>>56444950Most people aren't playing Terrapagos yet cause they're waiting to reach lvl.8 on the pass to get their 4 turtles and 3 Noctowls. Give it a couple days.
>>56444898Don't question the japanese masters

>>56445122>If only you knew how bad things really are.
>>56444878
>>56445273So remind me again why the nips hyped up dragapult so hard
>>56445273>Wins the wcc >everyone knows it's a dogshit deck still
>>56445275Dragapult is the only deck I've ever regretted buying. The most undeserved hype I've ever seen.
>>56445300At least pult is pretty cheap now if you do want to try and see how shit it is
I was playing a game on ptcgl and a Regidrago Vstar was able to knockout my Mimikyu even through safeguardHow does this work? They had a non v/non ex Haxorus in discard but it's still the Regidrago Vstar making the attack, even if Apex Dragon is mimicking a non v/non ex pokemon's attack right?Or Are V Stars just not considered Vs and ignore safeguard?
>>56445356Mimikyu can blocked only damage not include any effect from attack. And I assumed your Mimikyu has special energy attach to it.
>>56445436Thanks anon!
Is this a bad combo idea?
>shit on pult>pult wins on stream>lost pultfriendly reminder to never trust /tcg/'s opinion
>>56445706yeth
>>56445273>>56444878didnt they JUST show the 2024 winner as iron thorns????how are we ALREADY doing next year???/??/??

>>56445713/tcg/ sucks at this game
>>56446191Yup. That's why there's too many bot posters since worlds

Attention everybody going to events that get posted on limitless, post your fucking decklists. Nobody cares enough to go through and memorize whether you run 6 or 7 energies in your charizard list which is otherwise exactly the same as everybody else's deck.
>>56447029You just don't get it. My 59th and 60th cards make it an entirely different deck. I have the right to keep my secrets.
>>56446412
sick of fucking Regifagototal vstar death
wtf i just got styled onhe didn't even evolve any and the deck was full of junk stage 1/2 psychics. they're just hitting for 200+ a pop. is this legit?
>>5644816420+ Pokemon in one deck? Sounds like a brick machine if you ask me.
>>56448164fucking kek NO
>>56447029it is a secret to everybodysee you at regionals, im getting that worlds invite & keeping it w/ my pokemon stuff
>>56448164Nigga your deck literally does the same thing but better. Either you're super bad or super unlucky with your starting hand
As a new player, where can i get deck lists? I want to make a terrapogs ex deck from the new stellar crown cards but cant find a good deck list. Where can i (uk) purchase a full deck list withou spending hours checking different sites for the best prices? When can stellar crown cards be used in the play! Challenge events in stores?
>>56448883>where can i get deck lists?read the OP>When can stellar 2 weeks after release, so on the 27th
>>56446367Does mill count as stall?
>>56449329nah I think it's quite the opposite, you are racing to empty your opponents deck instead of letting it run out naturally
Oh fuck, it's jerk off man
>>56449403Nice, good to know I am still based.
>>56449543#nojusticeforian

Is there any acceleration coming out for when Magma Basin rotates? Or are non-Zard fire decks going to be dead?

>>56450148>turbo patch at home
>>56450065Besides sada/crispin? Yeah There's infernape and mela too if you wanna cope
>>56430608I get my kicks avoiding the meta though. I just want to fuck with people.Currently getting an above average online winrate using Froslass paired with tera Greninja.
Ogerpon go Brrr
>>56450630>i avoid the meta>i am using a meme-deck that is quite commonUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHmaybe slip a tsareena ex in there somehow the combo can be nasty af
WHY DO THEY HAVE POKEBALLS ON THEIR PUSSIES??wwhat the fuck????!?!?!
10 MORE YEARS OF GARDY DOMINATION
>>56451032One single entry on limitless, I wouldn't say meta.I've seen the mirror match once in the last 100 or so games, and even then it was using things like Collapsed Stadium instead of the new stuff.>Tsareena exI don't see the synergy here at all?I could double-dip the candy sure, but also needing [G], nah. Not worth the dip in consistency.
>>56451290i see cringeninja a lot its goodim currently only ultraball-tier on ranked though so take my input with a grain of salt
>>56451290>don't see the synergy here at all?put damage counters on one of your opponents pokemon until its remaining hp is 30froslass & munkidori pick them offgreninja ex can just mill\search every turn or target threats its pretty goodesp with that new ace spec tree that tpc just shit out for lelz
Question: if pokemon Pocket doesn't have prize cards...what the fuck will happen to all the cards that have an effect related to the prize cards?
>>56451397Answer: standard cards aren't going to be in pocket
>>56451442Then what is the point of Pocket if you doesn't have all the cards?! Hell, it even has actual trading unlike fucking Live and no avatars which is good because the avatars of Live (and the original TCG online) are fucking horrible!
>>56451450>>56451442TPC will eventually figure out that they cant have that many fingers in the fucking pie>pogo>unite>tcgonline>masters ex>main series>spinoff series>pocket?????/they are cannibalizing their own sales at this poinrt
>>56451483But anon, all those are different genres with the exception of the TCG ones, the average pokemon fan will do everything that has "pokemon" on the name.
>>56451516It's laughable to call pocket in competition with ptcgo. The gameplay in that is so unbelievbly boring, anyone playing the card game now wont stick around for pocket. Anyone who would pick up pocket is doing so for collectionfagging, or if they're picking it up for gameplay they wouldn't have played ptcgo anyway for it's complexity
>>56451397>>56451442Actually standard cards will be in Pocket but their text will be changed
Isn't Archaludon ex super good?>Enormous HP for a stage 1 (300 HP)>Accelerates energy, only needs 1 attachment to attack>Good damage with no drawback (220) which lets you 2HKO any mon>Even makes you immune to weakness for the next turnI see why it's a popular deck in Japan right now.
Why do people keep trying to hype this deck?
>>56451608I wanna play pocket over Live because I am more interested in collecting cards and Pocket doesn't have ugly avatars. My only worry is that nobody knows if codes will work in pocket.
Because the deck gets better once crystal is legal, bot.
