Zenith 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. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>56540264Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA
How can I make this work? I'm thinking>Magma basin>Centiscortch
>>56591551Second for Maractus a cute!
>>56591642>Ohkos both Charizard and hydrapple with 3 damage countersNothing personell kid
>>56591642You scrap it and play the x70 attacker with more hp.
applebros...
>>56591360
>>56592387It's 4 Iono, 3 Night Academy, and 6 Psychic energies since it's hard to see
>>56591889>beats charizardand for that reason it wont get any support. can't have anything beating lizardmon much less another fire typeit will lose all support once magma basin and damage pump rotate too
>>56591426Just in case they have something to block damage. Not that I know of any cards that do it in the format, but it could appear in the future.
Threadly reminder: no hand holding bots
>>56592970Go outside
>>56592970Or you could just talk about the Pokemon TCG in the Pokemon TCG thread like a normal person.

How can I make chien-pao work?
>>56595894State the problems of your deck. If you're asking something too broad like that when I'm inclined to side with >>56592970
>>56596368Chien-Pao isn't doing terrible for me, but it seems like it's always just a bit behind. The deck is fluid and feels great to use, but chienpao is too squishy
>>56596506you get dog walked by dragapult / char + pidgeot exalso youre gay and chinese hahha
>>56596506It's meant to trade KO for KO. You're always able to chain attackers if they're not focusing bax. While one turn of other decks missing set up means you win. You have iron hands and greninja if they try and make you take a 1 prize pokemon, ensuring you'll always go 2/2/2 prizes
>>56592239boss's order when?
>>56598427Only if it's an alt reprint. I hope boss doesn't get reprinted after G rotation. A format without as much gust would be interesting
>>56598871boss and research are here to stay forever like switch potion poke ball and your current gen's buddy to draw 3
>>56598871>A format without as much gust would be interestingBaby steps. You'd lose counter catcher and boss but still have lisia, prime catcher and pokemon catcher (probably reprinted at the start of gen 10 or ZA)
>>56599076People said the same about escape rope and level ball..>>56599789Yeah they've been printing a lot more "conditional" gusts. So it's interesting at the aspect of boss gust possibly rotating. Gusting wont be so common place then
>>56599949the difference is we've had all the ones I mentioned since base set, except for poke ball which is from jungle, and we've always had them available in rotationboss and research being renamed for simplicity and future proofing makes it even more likely they're here to stay
>>565958944 bravery charms
>>56599789or a card with alternate way to win like this
>>56600528How am I supposed to use this in a game that often comes down to 2 vs 2 prizes left
>>56601069 ...that's exactly how you're supposed to use it
>>56601140>2 prizes vs 2 prizes>Use briar>Take 3 prizes when there's only 2 left>????
>>56601269If that's the only line you see, then don't use the card, retard. I'm not going to spoon feed you.
>>56601365Go outside retard, if you can't contribute to the thread then what's the point of your posting
>>56601269jesus fuck you do know there are 1 prize pokemon with less hp right?
>>56600155wdym. research wasn't around in gen 7. they renamed it because there was already juniper and sycamore with the same effect so they may as well just brand it under 1 name for any new iterations. otherwise they'd have to keep making ruling clauses about not using the old ones. doesn't mean they will be evergreen forever
>>56601365>I'm not going to spoon feed you.Why do you even post? Why even make this post?
It's been said loads already but with Lugia rotating we may get some actually good special energy. What are you holding out for? Personally I want some kind of dual-type energy, hopefully not limited to Teras. Something like:>Gaia Energy. Provides 2 of Grass, Water or Fighting energy and can only provide one of each chosen type at a time.Obviously this could be a buff to Stellar mons but some of them are pretty poor with their energy requirements so this isn't a bad thing. Honestly anything that encourages janky deck building would be fun.
I compiled all leaked card art into album by yearhttps://catbox dot moe/c/6vupd7 2004https://catbox dot moe/c/tbr0tw 2005https://catbox dot moe/c/hpnx8p 2006https://catbox dot moe/c/r9gr2o 2007https://catbox dot moe/c/k40tbu 2008Also, I hate Dusknoir and I'm going back to RS-PK
>>56604323has anyone made a compilation of the TCG sketches and renders in the leak (not the just card art)? I only have a couple of them.
