Unknowledgeable Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI.

What's your cope deck? A deck you know is bad, but keep trying to make work.
Lilligant a cute!

>>56473450
>>56473450ho-oh v
>>56473450Regi Whiscash mill. Fuckers keep bossing either the Tera or the Barboach I'm trying to evolve.
>>56473450Future boxIt just has literally zero way to beat stage 2 ex decks like zard/pult You just cannot hit high enough numbers while being squishy enough they can ohko you back.. the lack of any meaningful support for the archetype really hurts. Sada at least carries ancientbox by being ancient-welder, but future has nothing..
>>56473589>ancient mons get Sada for energy acceleration>future mons get... Miraidon and an ACE SPEC>most future mons require 3 energy for each attack
>>56473594Like sure they get this, but getting out basics is quite honestly the easiest part. Nest and ultra ball serve other big basic decks completely fine. This isn't needed, it's not carrying anything. Lacking any sort of energy accelerations or card drawing engine just hurts, considering you need to stack your bench of iron crowns anyway there's no room for support mons. There needs to be a supporter or item to help with it
>>56469126Okay this has to be the same thing, except on PC. I can't do anything with this blank card. Anyone else ever get this?>>56471581kys cocksucking troon
>>56473618Techo Radar USED to be half decent for whipping out Iron Leaves against Zard, but even back then it only worked once or twice a match before Zard would knock you out afterwards anyway.
>>56473648Even that can be subbed with ultra ball and work fine, future just got shafted with it's support>Techno radarNot very impactful compare to common alternatives. Exclusive to just future decks>TuroTechnically just a worse penny for future pokemon, unless you wanted to discard energy and your booster capsules. Used better in other non-future decks>CiphermaniacNo future pokemon can draw cards so you can't even use it without outside help. Used better in other non-future decksMeanwhile ancient>Earthen vessalHelps with discarding energy for sada. Used just as well in non-ancient decks>SadaHard carries every deck by being a modern day welder. Acting as a fix for energy and draw power>Explorers guidanceHelps with discarding energy and pokemon which is what ancient pokemon attacks want, at least supports what they want to do Turo being a downgrade to penny and cipermanic being completely useless to future just confuses me, it has zero synergy with anything there. I'm hoping next time we get another paradox set (we should since we're missing a lot of ex paradox mons still) they'll finally patch up what future is missing.
>>56473071make sure to pre-order the Charizard deck from GameStopit comes out November and will be hard to find in personit is the strongest commercially available over-the-counter product
>>56473690Yeah idk what the fuck they were thinking, why is Turo not even future exclusive? Ancient mons seem to have a consistent theme of pulling from the discard, would it have been so hard to make future pull from the deck instead or something? Make Turo let you search your deck and attach 2 energy or something? It's baffling how dogshit future is as an archetype while ancient has at least 3 decent decks running around.
>>56473382>>56473396She is, she is!Stop making the new thread while I'm asleep damn it.>>56473460Also true
>>56473486should this guy be more viable with picrel?
>>56474133Impossible to ever ohko 300+ hp then without maximum belt. Charizard, dragapult and terapagos(bouffalant ver) will always survive. And tree is likely to be replaced the next turn anyway
>>56473450Honestly the new slowking variant.If he drew the card instead of discarding it would be peak, you could loop it with academy at night. But by design, the game only has so many ways to get w card from your discard back to your hand/deck. So what this really comes down to is that your ENTIRE DECK is dedicated to setting up slowking and even then you only have 4+ attacks with him depending on what gets prized. It's such a cool idea but it's very clunky and I think unreliable. You're also way too reliant on having your stadium out.
Okay, I'll pre-order the Charizard ex league battle deck. I need to bolster the value of my order to get free shipping, so what else should I get? Gardevoir ex deck, the Teal Mask Ogerpon ex package? Should I buy two of anything?
>>56474933teal mask ogerpon gets used a lot but it looks like it only comes with one ex card. I think it would be better to buy singles if you wanted ogerpon ex. I got a garde ex battle deck myself and it pretty much came with the whole needed kit besides a couple of cards I had to buy. you can also gut it for some useful cards, same with palkia/miradon battle decks. you can probably just buy an etb or two if you want to inflate your costs. the last two etbs have some promo cards that are used in the meta often. theres also a trainer toolkit coming out soon. those are useful
>>56474737Why the fuck do they need 5 different currencies for accessories?Like I know mobile gacha games are suppose to overload you with items and currencies to make the paid option seem easier, but I don't think I've ever seen one go this hard for specifically the cosmetics.
Pokemon pocket is a gambling gacha money sink, right?
>>56475057Yes. The amount of gold you can buy with real money is less than required to open packs, so even if you pay to speed up your timers, you can't get enough to break even. You have to keep paying in.
>>56474218>no kirlia in 2025 Will this deck completely die?
>>56474933Gardevoir isn't a bad pick, you'll have 2 decks to play with even if you don't want to scrap it for parts
>>56475259Gardevoir-ex will be a lot weaker. It still has fezendipiti to draw and drifloon+munkidori for 330 damage. It might be an anti-meta deck at some points or just get fucked over by dark weakness.Slowking will have reversal energy and counter gain. It will still be a playable meme deck.
>>56474933Look into the zapdos, ninetails, and koriadon deluxe battle decks. Should be cheaper than buying singles of earthen vessel if you need three of them and has some other useful shit like nest balls and super rods. Was the cheapest way for me to get those.
>>56474133>relying on stadiums>when will you tardrapagos players learn?IT SUCKSthere is literally a tool\tm that evos your shitmon
>Flip the Script is bugged>Iono is buggedIs there anything in this app that IS working?
>>56476554>update app>make it worse than beforeNOTHIN PERSONELL KIDD....
Honestly the bug that I hate most is the one that doesn't show a card flashing when it can still perform an action when it can. It's been in the game since beta and still has to make me double think all the time.
>>56476479could this copy alakazam ex's attack to hit from the bench? or would you have to have the tree in active to be able to copy the attack?
>>56475205Just buy the 500x pack, that way you only waste 0.07% of your money :^)>>56475057>TCG (gacha) + for-profit mobile game (scummy practices, often gacha)Could not be any other way
>>56476834tree in active, similar to other copying effects like mew. you initiate the copying attack. THEN do whatever attack you copy. so no bench attacking without the initial clause alakzam has of being able to use it on the bench
>>56476554>>56476568I haven't played in a few days, what happen?
>>56477067in all fairness the app has ALWAYS had bugs
So you're a Pokémon fan? Okay, list every translucent pokemon.

Being immune to supporters has happened before, but counter catcher is just as op. And if you excluded items being used it would block effects like crushing hammer
>>56477260Will we get any new card reveals from this tonight?
>>56477405>Day 1Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. idk. Watching azul's stream said the illustrator contest winner is shown tonight though>Day 2More likely, imo
>want to test a deck versus Dragapult>nothing but Miraidon, Terapagos, and Bolt>want to test versus Bolt>nothing but Zard, Dragapult, Gardevoir
>>56477416Be odd if we didn't. Paradise dragona is already out, and there's hardly anything revealed on their next set supercharged breaker just yet Might just be a day 2 infodump them. Since they can revealed stellar pikachu ex + synergy cards then
>>56477147I saw this >>56477093 pic and wondered if they would have drawn grimes translucent if the technology was easier. The only ones I can think of are the reuniclus line.
>>56473450It will be Sylveon ex.I kept trying to make Sylveon VMAX work while it was legal with varying degrees of success. Now it's Sylveon ex turn.
>>56477706Sylveon actually has some credit in lostbox so far And an eeveebox should become a thing when that set is out, with a bunch of the eeveelutions being teras you can use trumpet on the eevees before evolving
>>56477435yeah this is why I just made an alt to practice matchups by myself. its not ideal but unless I can find a practice buddy its the best I have
>>56477648Probably not, toxic sludge and sewage are usually opaque.

>>56478384Ability: Tenacious HeartIf this Pokémon has full HP and would be KOd by an attack, it isn't KOd and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead.GLM - Topaz Bolt 300Discard 3 Energy from this Pokémon.
>>56478384Ability is Focus Sash. Attack discards all energy. It's Galvantula but a shitton better.>>56478391First attack is attach 3 basics from the deck to a Stellar pokemon.>>56478395Double VS Seeker>>56478401TM is a full heal for your whole board, discard all energy. Trash. Cyrano has Hoopa EX's ability but exs instead.>>56478405Left stadium is +30 HP to basics. Right stadium reduces the HP of stage 2s by 30.
>>56478391>C - Prism Charge>Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Energy all of different types, and attach them to your Tera Pokémon in any way you like. Then shuffle your deck.>CCC - Hard Tackle 100
>>56478420>TM is a full heal for your whole board, discard all energyworst it full heal only Tera mon
>>56478420>Left stadium is +30 HP to basics.FUCK DRAGAPULT>Right stadium reduces the HP of stage 2s by 30.FUCK CHARIZARD
>>56478384So that Galvantula deck going around with the Trumpet and E Switches suffers from needing to evolve a shitty 30 HP Joltik and needing to chain item lock usually 5-6 turns and hoping they can't attack through it. This just kills any non Stage 2 and will kill any stage 2 with >>56478405 in play. Might be a real deck with Pikachu instead.
>>56478442When is it Raichu's turn
>>56478448Back in Sky Field meta with Circle Circuit and last year with Raichu V.
>>56478451I guess more than two cards in 9 years is a lot to ask for.
>>56478460There are only two mons with 3 or more individual meta-defining cards in roughly a decade is Garbodor and two of them did the same thing. Giratina is the other (Ancient Origins EX in DDE box, the one that benched itself from the discard, and Vstar).
>>56478384No real way to fast build it up besides magneton and 300 isn't even ohkoing all the format. While massively overkilling the rest. The built in focus sash with blissey is probably the way to go for this. It being grass/electric means you can joltik early too.>>56478395Very strong but being a 1 off means it's hard to find it, you can arven but you can't then use a supporter you grab. Vs seeker worked because you could stack 4 and easily find them >>56478401>That TM energy cost only to heal terasInto the bin. Cyrano seems solid though, working on basics and evos helps a few decks. If you can sack it you can pidgeyzard an entire board way easier. Will become stronger as older support mons like rotom/lumineon go and get replaced by ex ones >>56478405Fairly good. +30 HP one fucks math. Imagine 230hp baby moons in ancient box kek-30 HP one brings down charizard and pult a lot. Pidgeot is easier to kill now too. It being an immediate impact on your turn you play it makes it essentially a +30 dmg buff when needed. VERY strong>Actually a lot of good revealsAfter paradise dragona flopping this is nice to see the set wont be complete garbage
>dabs on your OHKO format
>>56478476Since you can tank attacks for free, you're probably better off chaining with Ogerpon, Trumpet, and ESwitch engines than using Joltik and letting things like Pult, Drago, and Radiant Gren ping the Pikachu.A lot of decks don't have an answer to Pikachu right now. You can probably trash Terapagos and just swap Pikachu in for him in Pidgeot + Trumpet builds and be tier 1 now. Built in Focus Sash is so insanely powerful. Gardy beats it though, but you could probably honestly tech one Terapagos and one Water and Crown Opal the Drifloons and Tails.
You laughed at me. Called me the worst ace specNow you come CRAWLING back to me. BEGGING me to deal with the pikachu meta. Pfft you should've showed me some respect
>>56478502Then you realize canceling cologne serves the same purpose without taking up your ace spec slot.
https://www.ptcgic-cr.com/2024/en/result/prize-winners/Thoughts on the winners? Kinda sucks that only 1st prize gets to have a promo made
>>56478384Klawfbros... will it finally be our time to shine?
>>56478502Are you sure about that?
>>56478405Theoretically, you can use Tsareena ex's Icicle Sole on a Zard and leave 30 damage counters on it. Then next turn, assuming they don't scoop/heal the Zard, you can play this Stadium and get a KO. Am I correct?You can also get a multi KO if you plan it right.
>>56478726Of course, you're putting your own Tsareena on the risk with the -30 HP debuff.But imagine putting down a stadium and getting 2 or more prizes, and you haven't even attacked yet. Must feel so good.
>>56478726Could you use Brute Bonnet with Radiant Sneasler, then use Icicle Sole for a guaranteed KO?
Ability: Overvolt DischargeOnce during your turn, you may attach up to 3 Basic Energy cards from your discard pile to your [L] Pokemon in any way you like. If you use this Ability, this Pokemon is Knocked Out.Recycle for Pika or Iron hand amp you every turn
>>56478807That's a very old tactic, but yes you can do that.
>>56478401>Grass/Water/PsychicThere's only one deck that is paying that attack cost: the shitty bibarel/charizard-ex deck.

>>56480245Infernape version instead of crispin is more clunky. but since you're running grand tree anyway you should include a pidgeot line. Even with tree you don't need 3 of the middle evolution, monferno and raboot can go down to 2 copies, possibly even 1 if you wanted.
>>56478419>Discard 3 energy and you can't ohko CharizardWhat's the point?
>>56480431
>>56480421If I put a Pidgeot line in, do I replace all my Ultra Balls for Feather Balls?
>>56480444You'd still need ultra balls to get basics, stage 1s and infernape. You can probably swap 2 out though The colress are way overkill you don't have any draw supporters either. Most cinderace decks follow similar to these, usually cinderace+pidgeot then crispin to help with the energy instead of infernapehttps://pokecabook.com/archives/137468
>>56480472I'm going to make this Infernape work, OK. It's going to be the next Baxcalibur.
Damn I may actually try the pikachu deckMaybe it'll be too popular to where every deck puts in cologne to tech it but it looks fun to use
>>56480482is any deck not running cologne and lost vacuum at this point?
>>56480482Pikachu will enforce people to run cologne yeah, some already respect it now with cornerstone ogerpon being in some area zero decks. Majority of meta decks right now have no other ways to deal with pikachu, there's no easy to get ping damage in the format to break the focus sash>>56480504It's usually 1 or the other, most are cutting lost vaccum since tools aren't too important. Shit like palkia just ohkos through bravery charms anyway. And removing stadiums isn't impactful either since they run multiple area zero or pokestops
The weird Palkia Gengar deck might actually see use if Pikachu kicks off
would using baby munkidori first disable pikachu's ability? what about moves that just place counters
>>56480593It would yes. but pikachu is hitting 300 damage, which is just ohkoing the entire format. Unless you can self damage your own mons, there will be no damage for munkidori to move off to pikachuDecks like gardevoir will have an almost free match up vs pikachu for that reason. Froslass decks too.
>>56480608>Unless you can self damage your own monsI can actually lol. I play with pecharunt/okidogi and gardevoir decks so I think I should have it easy if pika becomes meta
Yeah I'm thinking poison is BACK
>>56480621Oki would struggle since it gets ohko before you rack up any poison damage on yourself to move off. Unless you're using brute bonnett to poison then it's a freelo matchup
>>56480608It doesn't ohko zard or Greninja and several others
>>56480744See: >>56480438
>>56480747I can't read moon
>>56480751Stage 2 pokemon lose 30 maximum hp
The funniest possible thing would be if decks like Bolt, Zard, Miraidon, etc. post rotation all start playing Hawlucha for the Pikachu matchup and to counter this Pikachus start teching Fresh Water Set.
>>56480839You'd save 1 pikachu but they would hawlucha the turn they're planning to OHKO one. Switch cart can also do the same while being more useful in general

>>56481731>can I still participate in regionals or is it invite only?Tournaments are mostly open. The difficult thing is getting to register since venues are capped and spots run out very fast.
>>56477966Highly depends, who is he playing against?The "EX battle decks" level 1 are a perfect starting point for understanding the structure. "Deluxe battle decks" level 2 are the best to have variety and advanced playand "league battle decks" are the priciest, but are actually to the level to play with other people who are already in the hobbie. If you need your deck to be 151 themed, Just pick pretty much any "ex" and build from there, most popular are:Blastoise exWigglytuff exJinx ex is a meme deck, but fun to do. Heck, there's a freaking "Ninetales ex deluxe battle deck" just buy that.
I’m playing Pokémon TCG 2 (Japan exclusive) after realising there’s an English translation of the game and there’s a Game Center on GR Island where you flip 10 heads in a row to get a Lv 8 Mew Promo card. Is this pure RNG or is it skills? Wtf.Also the game is very different to modern mechanics. Now you can’t retreat as many times as you want in a single turn, you can’t play a supporter on your first turn, you can’t attach an energy card and attack on your first turn. Take me back

Am I too much of a villain if I'm having fun playing item lock venomoth? I don't want to bother people but at the same time I feel kinda horny when charizard players get stuck with charmanders and pidgeys.

I HATE NIGGERS!!WHY IS EVERYONE ON THE LADDER PLAYING DRAGAPULT?WHY ARE THEY ALL NIGGER AVATARS!?WHY IS THERE SO MANY!!?
>>56482256But I am in Arceus League.
>>56480565Why is everyone playing that rn atm? I swear I see it everywhere on the ladder? Who's the faggot YouTuber?
>>56478384I like this. Looks fun.
>>56482668>>56482768There's another good togekiss in the format too. You just would need a cheap basic pokemon to attack with or it becomes too clunky
stellar crown becomes legal for events on the 27th, right? so if i go to a league cup on saturday i can use the new cards?
>>56484424yes
>>56482134The original game allows you to rig a coin flip into a head with a certain timing, but I don't remember when you're supposed to press A, nor know if this applies to TCG 2
>>56484530coin flips are on some deterministic rotation of sorts, meaning the game already has the result of the next coin flip on memoryso the next action that forces a coin flip will always be that resultyou can abuse this by having the "flip coin, if heads draw 3" trainer, play it, if tails, instantly soft reset and do not play it, let the opponent use a coin flip move or trainer, then the result will change
Just had all 4 energy switches prized, I like how common this is.
>>56483932what decks do you run big sexy???
>>56482598Stellar is so ugly. I hope it disappears after this set.
>report bugs in your shitty buggy game>lol no thanks you're playing from a region we don't support???????Just fucking receive the bug report as a general bug? I didn't even request for support I just wanted to fucking report the a shitty annoying bug

>>56485610no don't post it pls
hello all, i play comp ygo and used to play comp mtg as well as vgc and fanfic meta vidya pokemon. I just discovered this game is dirt cheap and want to know what the best deck for a beginner would be to top locals. TCGLive fucking sucks so I'm just gonna learn everything in person. Also I really prefer to stick to meta so don't say "play whatever you like," LGS is trying to shill me on some upcoming charizard deck but I despise charizard. I'll like anything not gen 1, gen 5 would be cool but I really don't care as long as it will win.
>>56485624>play whatever you likenever here in a million yearsbuild charizard or wait for the upcoming pre-built battle deck, it basically plays itself if you want to top while learning the ropes
>>56485624lmao i wrote my post before reading the second half of yours, play raging bolt or dragapult then>gen 5none that I can think of rn
>>56485624>the best deck for a beginner would be to top locals. Charizard ex>TCGLive fucking sucks so I'm just gonna learn everything in person.TCG Live is fine, especially if you wanna learn. You get everything for free. Also, the Charizard ex deck you buy can be ported over to Live with the code in the box.
>>56485624Reason people keep telling you Charizard is cause it got a battle deck that you can buy for like $30 and have something tournament ready.Everything else will either be weaker, or cost more money.
>trying to play some Regidrago VStar just in Casual to get my challenges (need to finish without consneeding)>constantly bricking >getting to <25 cards and consistently seeing 0 energy switches>getting to <25 cards and getting no dragons in the discard>find a Charizard ex/Pidgeot ex player>taking fucking forever to take actions with the most powerful completely braindead autoplay deck in the history of the game>spam him with ???

Fucking WHY
>>56485780>dragon type>fairy crystal showingwhat did they mean by this?
>>56485555Arbok is a meme thereHydreigon itself is more than enough. 2 energy to hit 200 and discard 3 is sorta strong, it's similar to dragapult. With some modifiers like pecha+mochi you can hit 240 a turn while discarding 3 ohkoing big basics. It just completely fucking kneels to all the ogerpons running around right now though because weakness but you might be able to race them since dark has giga support for energy
>>56485818Tera Sylveon will bring back Fairies to save this game.
>>56485913>Fairies
>>56485780This might be one of the most ugly cards they've ever made

>>56486035Stadium'd scream tail has 120 hp, can get 11 counters with munkidori which allows an attack for 220Stadium'd fezendipti has 240 hpAfter fez gets hit for 220, both pokemon will faint when the stadium is bumpedYou're thinking of 140hp bravery charm scream tail which typically swings for 240 damage.
Next rotation is actually going to be so fun. The SwSh decks have long overstayed their welcome
>>56485780>Stellar Agnry Faec ex
>>56482598>manually attach metal>Xatu for 1 psychic >dark patch or Janine for 1 dark>repeat for either psychic or darkWith mochi you could boss a Squawk or Mew and potentially get two bench snipes from weaker support mons.
>>56486235easier way is to just slap on a neo upper energy after using dark patch/janine. too much bench barrier in the format to use it twice in a game reallyjust use the 1st attack in a pure dark energy deck until a good opportunity to use the 2nd attack comes up and attach neo upper then
Is there a way to stop your opponent from attaching cards like energy from their discard pile or shuffling them into their deck? Pic related only stops them getting cards into their hand, it does nothing against super rod or dark patch/Sada/trumpet.
>my timer is 20+>theirs is sub 15every fucking time
>Ribombee/Togekiss/Iron Hands ex 6 prize turnI need to see it happen.
>>56486385Closest you'll get.
Quick question. A mon like this Feraligatr uses a move that says "During your next turn, this Pokémon can't use [X]". I'm sure during the owner's next turn they can't use it if the same mon is still in the active spot, but what if it goes to the bench and then back to the active spot? Will it be able to use it once again?May sound like a dumb question but I'd like to find out if somebody was cheating. Thanks.
>>56487133Once you move a mon from the active to the bench, all effects that was put on that Mon is removed. So yes, you can use Giant Wave again if Feraligatr went swimming back and forth from the active to the bench and then active again.
>>56487154I also looked it up. Thanks for answering. Attacks like I described appear to all function like that of Gouging Fire ex's Blaze Blitz attack essentially.So if this Bidoof uses Industrious Incisors in the active spot and moves back to the bench, can it use the ability once again or are "ability effects" and "attack effects" different? Thank you.
>>56487217abilities and attacks are differentbidoof uses its ability, it states "ONCE, during your turn"bidoof may or may not be in the active spot but it is still in play in the field, if you were to remove it from the field somehow (Turo, super scoop up, etc) then evolve another bidoof, then even if it is the same bibarel card, the game "doesn't know" it's the same pokemon anymore, therefore you can use the ability "again"
>>56487275Alright. That makes sense. Thank you.
I am planning on collecting full sets of base set all the way to skyridge. What would be the best way to go with it? Is there a place that would sell full sets? I tried cardmarket but it didn't list any
>>56487366>>56445059Damn, almost had a collector retard free genny
>>56487133>>56487217also note the difference with attacks that place effects on the trainer, so in this case switching out terrakion would not let you use the attack again
So in my country they are gonna release another round of 151 from restocks, and its average 6 bucks per booster. How many do you think its worth picking up? I heard the pulls rates of 151 are dogshit
>>56488118they are, and people will still buy boosters

>>56488929>buying modern
>>56488901Won't argue about the art with you or anything but I do like that they get one artist to do one whole evolution line (when not interrupted by 5ban shit) and often related backgroundsDefinitely don't need every expansion to do this but would be cool on a few evo lines per expansionIt is impressive how little cards are playable however
Not all the 151 art is terrible
>>56488605Since Pockets first set is maximum KANTOOOOO bait, I'd be willing to bet the supporters are all 8 gym leaders + oak.

>>56489087>Eeveelution set wont be this yearHate to see it.. hopefully it means it will be strong then since it wont need to be balanced with old cards in mind
>>56489583>it wont need to be balanced with old cards in mindIt's only a trumpet target with a first turn evolution ability. Eevee certainly has no tools after rotation.

>>56490394Yeah they really missed the mark on this. They tried to Kanto pander so hard that they forgot Bill is also from Kanto.
>>56489087Why does Eevee have two psychic evolutions?

Do you get more points for winning matches the higher rank you are? Or is it +15 all the way up to Arceus rank?
>>56491938You get more. 30 for winning. -20 for losing at Master Rank.Arceus Rank, you can keep getting points if you want. It counts the same as Master Rank.Also, however many points past Arc you get before the season change, carry over to the next season. So I began at Shayamin rank last season rather than Deoxys. Theoretically, I think it might be possible to string multiple Arc ranks, though I haven't done it yet.
>>56489828I meant moreso the other eeeveelutions having synergy with other decks, like sylveon in lost box currently. If they didn't have to worry about something like lugia abusing one of them who wanted special energy, if they waited till post rotation they'll be much stronger
>>56491953At Arceus rank it’s always +10 per win and +10 per loss. After the season ends you’re always kicked down to deoxys tier if I recall correctly. I hit 2000 last season and started the next season at like 1340 or whatever.
I love lost box

Anyone have the apk for Pocket? People are already streaming it.
>Judge is starting to show up in decksSign of a toxic meta
>>56493469By Yu-Gi-Oh standards, the current meta is not just healthy, but GOOD. Wide deck variety. Strategic thinking and decision-making. Low power decks are viable. No single deck is overly dominating. Games are snappy and interactive. Lots of cool stuff to look forward to.t. Yu-Gi-Oh playerY'all don't know how good you have it. Meta in Master Duel is complete ass, and there isn't much to look forward to.
