Future box
It 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..

Like 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

Techo 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.

>>56473648
Even that can be subbed with ultra ball and work fine, future just got shafted with it's support

>Techno radar
Not very impactful compare to common alternatives. Exclusive to just future decks
>Turo
Technically just a worse penny for future pokemon, unless you wanted to discard energy and your booster capsules. Used better in other non-future decks
>Ciphermaniac
No future pokemon can draw cards so you can't even use it without outside help. Used better in other non-future decks

Meanwhile ancient
>Earthen vessal
Helps with discarding energy for sada. Used just as well in non-ancient decks
>Sada
Hard carries every deck by being a modern day welder. Acting as a fix for energy and draw power
>Explorers guidance
Helps 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.

Yeah 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.

Honestly 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?

>>56474933
teal 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

>>56474737
Why 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.

Yes. 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?

>>56474933
Gardevoir isn't a bad pick, you'll have 2 decks to play with even if you don't want to scrap it for parts

>>56475259
Gardevoir-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.

>>56474933
Look 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.

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.

>>56476479
could 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?

>>56475057

Could not be any other way

>>56476834
tree 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

So 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.

There 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).

No 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.

>>56478395

>>56478401
>That TM energy cost only to heal teras
Into 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

>>56478405
Fairly 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

>>56478476
Since 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.

Theoretically, 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.

Infernape 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.

You'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 infernape
https://pokecabook.com/archives/137468

>>56480472
I'm going to make this Infernape work, OK. It's going to be the next Baxcalibur.

Damn I may actually try the pikachu deck
Maybe it'll be too popular to where every deck puts in cologne to tech it but it looks fun to use

>>56480482
is any deck not running cologne and lost vacuum at this point?

>>56480482
Pikachu 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

>>56480504
It'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

>>56480593
It 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 pikachu
Decks 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 mons
I 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

>>56480621
Oki 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

>>56480608
It doesn't ohko zard or Greninja and several others

>>56480744
See: >>56480438

>>56480747
I can't read moon

>>56480751
Stage 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.

Tournaments are mostly open. The difficult thing is getting to register since venues are capped and spots run out very fast.

>>56477966
Highly 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 play
and "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 ex
Wigglytuff ex
Jinx 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

Doesn't say anything about being once per turn. You could do Dusclops/Dusknoir combos with this on the bench and get multiple flips in one turn. Stage 2 decks could run a 1-0-1 line just to have the cheese potential.

The 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

>>56484530
coin flips are on some deterministic rotation of sorts, meaning the game already has the result of the next coin flip on memory
so the next action that forces a coin flip will always be that result
you 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.

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 like

build charizard or wait for the upcoming pre-built battle deck, it basically plays itself if you want to top while learning the ropes

>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.

>>56485624
Reason 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.

>>56485555
Arbok is a meme there
Hydreigon 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

Stadium'd scream tail has 120 hp, can get 11 counters with munkidori which allows an attack for 220
Stadium'd fezendipti has 240 hp
After fez gets hit for 220, both pokemon will faint when the stadium is bumped

You're thinking of 140hp bravery charm scream tail which typically swings for 240 damage.

easier 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 really
just 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.

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.

>>56487133
Once 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.

>>56487154
I 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.

>>56487217
abilities and attacks are different
bidoof 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"

>>56487275

Do you get more points for winning matches the higher rank you are? Or is it +15 all the way up to Arceus rank?

>>56491938
You 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.

>>56489828
I 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

>>56491953

At 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.

>string multiple arceus rank points
i just do my daily and log out
most of my points carried over from last season starting me at the bottom of UL i think
i wish i had something to spend coins on;
they should allow us to purchase code-exclusive items like sleeves\coins even at 10x the coins.... esp after they are OoP.

ubiquitous in the tcg... made several reappearances too

cut one manaphy
hisuian ball will force it out if hes needed that badly
the entire deck seems like judge\iono bait anon
but sadly it looks like FUN to play with;
many such decks exist where they are more fun than strong
TPC chooses the top 5 and dumps gifts on them until they show up at worlds each year...

using attacks to draw cards seems suspect though, keep in mind iron hands\blissey will blip extra prizes off you while you're struggling to get up and running

just my two cents
it reminds me of heatran\metang decks fun to play but against the "meta" it will come up short

>cut one manaphy
Unfortunately way too many tryhards pull off le epic gust + Cancelling Cologne multi-attack combo.

>>56492337
Is this a mill deck?

>>56492431
Yes.

>4 Energy Search
Yeah I ain't gonna help anyone who puts this in their decks

>>56492527
What should I replace one with?

>>56492337
Do you play xerosic nearly every turn against iono decks?

>>56488605
"unrevealed" probably means "cards that didn't have a chance to be pulled from packs or starter deck"

>>56492504
Lmao based

>>56492550
Not every turn, just when they have 9+ cards or so.

Anyone have the apk for Pocket? People are already streaming it.

>Judge is starting to show up in decks
Sign of a toxic meta

>>56493469
By 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 player
Y'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.
