>>56736796You betcha!
>Card image backLET'S FUCKING GO!fuck art faggots
I'm starting to think Dragapult isn't that great. I lose more than I win. Once that dreepy gets taken out it's over. Hopefully it plays better in paper.
>>56737074Bro I went from 0 to 1500 as of this morning doing dragapult. 3 to 1 win-loss ratioIt's so ez bro wtf r u doing. Only raging bolt gives me problems
>>56737074It's not great. Can't ohko things and gets ohko in returned.
>>56737124Bolt player hereDragapult is free
Should I build Snorlax for ladder? What deck will make people rage the most/scoop instantly
>>56737379just kill yourself
How do you win against Hydrapple? Once it gets going it's hard to OHKO Hydrapple and it can heal itself. And they can even use Ogerpon to attack
>>56737391no, that's what I want my opponents to do
>>56737394Gust the ogerpons? It cuts hydrapples damage a lot too. For a deck unable to ohko hydrapple you're probably just losing to charizard and dragapult also though
>>56737379I make it my mission to waste as much of a Snorlax players time as possible
>>56737394Good thing there's the other 60% of games where it is unable to get going.
I was playing the app version and some dude summoned like 4 legendaries. How the FUCK do you counter that?
>>56737436that's cool, the thing is I have time, since I'm just watching youtube while I waste their time back
>>56737460Implying I'm not doing the same
>>56737496nice, we should do a watchalong while we waste each other's time...
This was actually a pretty good game.
>>56737450must have been miradon raikou, it basically sets itself up even with no nest balls
>>56738280I don't know what this is but I'm already pissed my OP got this out T2 with all the energy attached and took out my fucking dreepy after I finally drew the rare candy/dragapult T1.
>>56738280he's not really living up to the hype.. too many tera pokemon aroundif the lumineon and rotom replacements are also tera's there's gonna be nothing to snipe
>>56738296Bro it's not even out yet, unless you're playing in Japan
When is Snorlax rotating out...
Why the fuck can;t the game just use the cards I own? Every fucking deck with this god damn shit HURRRR U DNT OWN DA CARDZ MANE then i gotta click 60 fucking times to swap in all the shit I actually own.
>>56738510indie devs... please understand...
>>56738510>>56738527honestly they should hire whoever it was that coded master duel... While not perfect, it's very smooth as fuck
>>56738510Live devs are braindead yes
>>567384906 months of stall left >>56725555
>>56738534the problem is that Live generates no revenue so the dev team is like two unpaid cousins of a random TPCi exec
>>56738590they should just monetize it... look at how well Master Duel is doing... Imagine that but with something actually popular like Pokémon
Let me fucking play Live without using NA VPN for fucks sake. I hate having to connect to VPN and then still not being able to play anyway because of an error with who knows what and trying out 5 other servers to see if it works
>>56738590>>56738622I was blown away when I went into the shop for the first time, ready to spend, and I couldn't I damn near uninstalled because I know these full f2p games with no shops get fuck all. They really missed out no having a shop, hell even just cosmetics and people would happily swipe. I'm curious to see what the reasoning behind that was>but kid....They play every other fucking mobile game with a shop.
I'm starting to think it would be better to buy a ton of codes for every set vs saving shit to unlock cards 1-2 at a time, thoughts?
>>56738745yea exactly, and most kids don't give a fuck about pokemon either, they are busy playing genshit
>>56738796I open a lot of boosters every set and have most of my staples this way, I've only crafted a few when I need that unique 4th copy of a card
>>56738796After a couple battlepasses y ou end up having enough credits anyhow. if you were gonna buy codes, do it for a new set or a battlepass you've finished. that way you'll have all the free packs you'll get/have previously opened from the battlepass meaning more dupes from the code packs you open. buying codes for a fresh set you've not pulled anything on is really bad value, you wont have any 4/4 to get dupes there
>>56738896If I buy like 200 codes I reckon I'll get everything and a bit of credits to splurge as well. I just started playing pokemon like two weeks ago so I'm trying to get a baseline. I've already spent quite a few hundred on actual cards and game codes>bro why the fu...When I get into a new hobby I go all in then when it starts making me mad in a few weeks I sell/throw everything and move on. One of the reasons I don't try new shit very often I actually just think I'm a compulsive spender
>>56738949I just mention about doing it on a set for a battle pass you're doing/have finished since you would've opened a lot anyway, so those 200 will yield more creditsbut if you're totally fresh, get the cheapest S/V codes you can get then. Shrouded Fable is probably the best one if you're after credits, the set is fairly small and there's only a handful of ex's/rares meaning you'd get 4/4 of them quicker than 4/4 of on other sets.
>>56739008oh paldean fates is also a smaller set if you wanted to consider that since it's cheaper.probably because so many collectors are opening it for the shinies there's a surpass of codes kek
I decided to try out a Zard deck. Easiest win yet.
>>56739261yes, deck is for brainless retards
>>56739281What deck is big brain
>>56739281Guess it's a perfect for me then
>>56739303Gardevoir, not kidding. You've gotta plan your turns really carefully else you'll just look like someone new to the game not knowing what to do.
>>56739303Lugia
>>56739337Gardy nowadays at an average level is pretty auto pilot with night stretcher. It's just a matter of getting enough psychic in the discard now. Decks only outs to roxanne/stamp/iono is fez now, few run bibarel engines anymore so a scream tail fez into stamp often just wins
>https://www.pokebeach.com/2024/10/heat-wave-arena-and-the-glory-of-team-rocket-releasing-in-march-and-april>cynthia's Garchompautist gonna shit even harder now...
>>56739685So far the trainer mons seem like complete memes. They gotta show off a full synergy showcase of all a trainers cards
No pocket general so I post my pull here
>>56740290Misty getting nerfed to only target Magikarp. Eevee a cute.
>>56739261anon why are you bullying newbies on the default tutorial deck
>>56741800Looking forward to this dude
>>56741887don't know man it looks like a meme-tier
>>56738949>If I buy like 200 codes I reckon I'll get everythingyou won't t. anon that buy boosters and collects with over 200 codes every set and has needed to craft cards anyways
>>56742034Yes and?

oh boy, another hand holder...fucking bot
>play Dragapult>lose every game>play something else>face nothing but Dragapult and loseThe game's gotta be fucking with me at this point
>>56744582Go outside retard
>>56744631Hand holding before marriage is a sin anon
>>56744582
>>56743846I messed around with this deck a bit. maybe instead of gutsy pickaxe you can use crispin or glass trumpet? they're both faster at accelerating energy than pickaxe. idk if pideot or academy of night are needed.
I miss him
Back again, have at.
>>56745494thanks
>>56743846I like the way you use Academy at Night for Gutsy Pickaxe and also a way to discard 1 less card from your deck and make it discard 1 card from hand instead.Your draw is kinda lacking though. You only have 1 Iono and no Research, and Roxanne won't help you until you're already losing. I think if you're that insistent on having Pidgeot you should just lose your Sparkling Crystal and put in Grand Tree instead, don't forget to put Pidgeotto so it doesn't fail. If not then just lose the Pidgeots and add more Iono/Research/Doduo and Dodrios.I think having 1 or 2 Night Stretchers in there would be nice as well.Oh, and you definitely need more than 2 Ultra Balls.>>56745399Crispin only works if there's two or more different energies in your deck. If there's only one then it's just a Supporter Energy Search. And Glass Trumpet doesn't help with charging Tyranitar up, unless you use Energy Switch.
>>56743846Another thing: since Tyranitar's second attack only hits hard with an injured benched Pokemon, I think having Gapejaw Bog or Calamitous Snowy Mountain would be nice, instead of relying on Dodrio and Gengar which is a bit slower to setup.And, this is more of passing thoughts than suggestions:Lucario BRS also puts damage counters on himself, so he can be used as a secondary attacked if you want.If you're going to go full Academy at Night/Gutsy Pickaxe gimmick, having a Pokemon with 0 retreat cost to put in front would be ideal. Mew ex or Dudunsparce works great for this.
>>56745420Don't you mean
>>56745494
>>56745871
>>56745909After this the rest of the codes are for boxes and small collections. I'll probably space them out a bit more to hopefully show more people to grab them. For the ETBs I'll probably do those one at a time at the end.
>>56745936
I wanna make my gf a cute deck themed around pooch pokemon. She's a total beginner, never played a turn in her life.Any tips on where to start in putting together something she could take to kitchen table and shop locals and have a decent time?She's also a Slowpoke superfan so if there's fun stuff built around it that's great too.
>>56745936thanks
>>56745955
>>56746161
>>56745973Here's my Slowking deck >>56703725 but I think she would be better off playing a Slowking ex deck if she's just starting. Maybe put in some Daschbun ex for the pooches.
OPEN UP A BUILD AND BATTLE KIT RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!
>>56746473Cool, I'll take a look. We did just get the SIR Dachsbun ex the other day.
>>56745593>>56745718I haven't run into any draw issue and as soon as I thought that I had 2 horrible hands, somehow won because the enemy was in the same place.I removed roxanne and added a research, removed 1 energy and added another ultraball. The pickaxes saved me more than once either by adding energy or finding a supporter, maybe I should add pokegear, 1 carmine and a riolu/lucario instead of dodrio, their draw hasn't been that significant by far. Whatever I can get by friday noon.
>>56745593oh I forgot glass trumpet only works with coloress pokemon.>Crispin only works if there's two or more different energies in your deck. If there's only one then it's just a Supporter Energy Search.crispin still attaches even if you have one type of energy. the idea was that you can attach an energy on tyranitar without having one in hand and then possibly fish out another one to attach with lightning rampage. but it still isnt a very optimal card to put into into this deck. it might be better to run more colress tenacity so they can get an energy to attach and so they can fish out their academy stadium
>>56746579The order is the text is important. If you only pull one card you just put it into your hand, you don't attach. If you have energy search elsewhere, why not use Giovanni's Charisma?
>>56746579Crispin needs to grab 2 to attach 1 >>56746636Giovanni only works on active and only lets you attach if the opponents active has an energy. It's more conditional than crispin
>watching s*reamer play to see how they play and try and pick up tips/tricks>deck they're playing looks interesting>try to get decklist using their command>AL DEKSLIST R N DA DICK SWORDFuck these stupid ass faggots.

What would Revavroom ex need to be viable? Better tools? Metal acceleration?
>>56746790TM seller arven will save it surelyjust "forget" to detach them at turn end
>>56746790better metal draw supportbaby vroom sucks
are you interested in any of the upcoming ex? Almost all the tera are interesting to me and I really want to try exeguttor and hydreigon
>>56746636it worked it live when I tested it out against the ai. it must have been bug lol.
>>56746816unironically pikachu
>>56746706I watched one guy where he told everyone who wanted a deck list to go to his metafy page or w/e. I just took a screenshot of his deck and made it manually. I don't want to sign up for some cringe gamer site.
>>56746816I'm more interested in Uxie and Detection Set? or whatever that card that lets you arrange the top 3 cards of your deckI guess Durant ex and Milotic ex is neat
>>56746816I couldn't find a decent maker. But, this is roughly where I'm at
>>56746636this is just dumb wording and arbitrary rules on your part. The order doesn't imply one takes priority over the other up unless it says "First" which doesn't happen
>>56746998he's right tho, that's the official ruling
>>56746998>do this action.>now do this action.makes sense to me
>>56746998Ordering matters. Prime catcher can't be used if your opponent has no pokemon, even if you just wanted to use it to switch yours. If you can't meet condition A you will not proceed to condition B, or even allowed to play the card period
Pretty sure crispin was worded like that to avoid him just being a universal +1 energy attachment for solo energy decks. By making it require 2 types of different energy you prevent that
>>56747075it says you have to do two actions, not one and then the other. That's why using "then" before shuffling your deck is important, it makes clear that's the last step>>56747159Switch catcher makes it very clear there is a condition you have to meet in order to switch your pokemon. Crispin doesn't say that, it should let you attach whatever even if there is only one energy
>>56747243>>Crispin doesn't say that>Search your deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards of different types, reveal them, and put 1 of them into your hand. Attach the other to 1 of your Pokémon. Then, shuffle your deck.>Attach the other to 1 of your Pokémon.>the OTHERIt's even in a different sentence. Showing that there is an order
>>56747243if you read, only 1 of them goes to your hand, the other one is not in your hand and instead relies on being attached to a pokemon right away. If it said "and put both of them in your hand" it would be a different story
>>56747159not that anon but this is what fucks me up, what determines whether a card can be played even if you can't meet the first condition? it feels arbitrary at timesmain example, I've been told you can professor research with an empty hand, but with how its worded implies you physically cannot because you just don't have anything to discardiono being unable to makes sense because it clarifies that the action needs to happen for the draw effect, same thing for skwovet, so at this point I just chalked it up to "look for clarification text", if its not there it can just do whatever, but thats clearly not how this works, right?
>>56747266>>56747267show me where in the rules it says putting a word before the other means you have to do that first. Other cards make very clear the things you have to do to fulfill a condition. Until then you are illiterates
>>56746979Ceruledge seems like it will be amazing
My wife collects Pokemon cards. She's pretty autistic about it, just collects the ones that are shiny, full art, or "special" in some way such as EX/GX/Mega etc, anything with a Rule Box pretty much. She buys a lot of them, so I'm left with a metric shit ton of bulk pokemon cards that she doesn't give a shit about, I'd like to make some money off them if I could.Are there any "normal" cards--not full art, not shiny, not anything with a Rule Box--that are worth money online in recent sets? She's been collecting them for at least 5 years or so. Is there some resource that would give me a list of ones to look out for? I know 99% of it is worthless junk, I don't want to spend hours searching the value of every Pidgey or Weedle or whatever the fuck in all these thousands of cards.Should I bother doing this, or just sell it as bulk cards for a cheap price?
>>56747454>just sell it as bulk cards for a cheap price?This
>>56747439As soon as I saw Ceruledge I was all in on it. I got 4 prereleases (1 of them a draft), an ETB, and a booster box to find 3-4 copies
>>56747454>>56743572
>>56747272Iono needs A player (either player works) to shuffle their hand to the bottom of the deck>You have 0 cards (excluding iono) in hand but opponent has 8 cards>You can use iono and draw up to 6>You have 8 cards in have but opponent has 0>You can use iono and they can draw up to 6The only time iono doesn't work is if BOTH players have 0 cards. That means her "Each players shuffles their hand and puts it on the bottom of their deck." can't be triggered meaning the "If either player put any cards on the bottom of their deck in this way, each player draws a card for each of their remaining Prize cards". Because the "IF either player" condition wasn't met.Same premise with skwovet except it's only 1 side checking the skwovets players condition
>>56747494>that prerelease boxMy first prerelease
>>56747497yeah I forgot to specify about iono stating that, but I'm still confused about professors research
>>56747508Research has no conditions on the discard requirement. Like how iono needs someone to shuffle to work. Research doesn't need to check for any conditions to work, it's just a deletion of your hand into the discard, regardless if there's cards or not in it. What you're probably thinking of is it needing a condition like this "Discard your hand, if you discarded any cards this way, draw 7 cards". In that case it would be unplayable if you had 0 other cards in hand yes, but the actual research works regardless of handsize.
>>56747266I think anon has a point. There should be an "If you do," before the "Attach the other" to make it clear that the previous action is a requirement.
>>56747557logically you'd think that simply saying discard your hand would itself be a requirement to use it, and its the entire reason why I don't trust any card in this game without more clarification text on them to be intuitively understandable, even if its only one line for the effectthis one card has given me massive trust issues and I hate it, but I appreciate you explaining these things and setting up the iono screenshot
just imagine you are a robot, and the card is giving you orders, and you perform them as soon as you hear them, so you will naturally do them in the order you hear/read them
OP fucked up by putting all his energies on the Lapras and other non EX cards but had no answer when I swapped his no energy Bax in.
>>56747722who the fuck cares about your shitty ass stall deck, especially against irrelevant shit like lapras explay a real deck you fucking faggot
>>56747585It's agree it's not the clearest wording. It's assuming people know that a new sentence would require the previous sentence to be completed first. Adding some sort of "if you do" "if you did" at the beginning of that next sentence would make it clearer, like how they worded giovanni
>>56746706Try limitless, fuck streamers and discord.
>>56747735cared enough to reply.
>>56746193Was busy for a bit, back now
>>56747850Fuck me...
>>56747869ty
>>56746790can i attach 4 defiance bands and deal 120 extra damage?
>>56747924yes. all 4 will de-activate if you aren't behind in prizes anymore though. so people built revaroom as a tanking deck instead
>>56747869
>>56747484Got a list of anything? I like decks that run a lot of energy

>>56747942can i go 4 luxurious capes and play all or nothing then?
>>56748497Read the card first, then play it.
>draw lumineon as my only basic>unplug my monitor
>>56748511what i mean is, can could it work or is it too gimmicky?
>>56748580I believe you were instructed to read a card first before moving on to theorycrafting.You can't make an all-or-nothing pokemon, even in expanded. The most is 5 prizes from 4 capes on the non-rulebox toolbox sigilyph

Is there a better way to mass enter codes? I have two ETB boxes full of them and have been putting off redeeming them because it would take forfuckingever.
eevee set reveal when?
>>56748655That would be a QOL and you know this game has none of it.
>>56748736Sad but true
Can't win with or against the fucking dragapult deck.
>>56748749nvm I just gotta not play like shit
>>56748653>do these trick or treat booster packs have valuable cards in them or something?https://www.pokebeach.com/2024/08/all-30-pokemon-trick-or-trade-2024-halloween-cards-now-printed-on-galaxy-holofoilThey don't.>The 2024 “Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle” will cost $14.99. The bundle will contain 35 mini packs, each with three cards. Every pack includes one holo.

>>56748655barcode gun, it enters the text on the card faster than your camera or keyboard
>>56748655>>56748736Scanning the QR codes on phone is fast enough There's much more needed QoL like a functioning game or swapping alt arts to versions you own when you import a deck
Does this mean it's possible to have 8 Mausholds out at the same time? (With Area Zero active of course)
>>56749899as the player of the rat bastards, sadly no. you can't play maushold without tandemaus, which means at max you get 4. BUT IF YOU COULD-
>>56749899Yes.>>56750838It says "put them onto your Bench", so you don't need Tandemaus. It's like Nest Ball's effect but only for Maushold. Tatsugiri ex does the same thing but for any Pokemon, even Stage 2s.
>>56751398Why did you delete it Mausbro?
>>56751441Forgot to add image. Gonna try cooking with this.
>>56751562...why tho? There's literally a better way to do that right here >>56749899
>>56751627That's a better way to get only maushold lol
>>567515624 dusknoir, 2 togekiss, let's go
>>56751627>>56751630Tats is a basic which allows for a T1 setup and potentially better yield of rodents to put on your bench. You're also not losing any maushold if your active gets knocked out the following turn. It might not work out but I'm try it out.
*I'll
>>56751630The guy I was replying to said "Mausbros?" in his deleted post>>56751795>T1 setupGood luck with that. You'll either need a Crispin and a Sparkling Crystal or some Tandemaus on the bench and a bunch of energies in your discard to Glass Trumpet and Energy Switch to Tatsu.Also, you're overestimating the success rate of getting a Pokemon in your 10 top cards that's more than 2.I guess it's an activator for Area Zero, which is something.Good luck if you're still gonna try it.
>playing Iron Thorns ex in ranked>opponent playing Chien Pao ex>go first, decent setup and end turn>Chien Pao in active>opponent drops Lumineon>Irida from hand>concedeIt's pretty funny but I still feel bad lel. Annoying only getting 30 pass points though.

There are cards that are always in rotation, right? I'm curious what the list consists of. Anyone have a small rundown of these cards? Unless I'm completely wrong haha.
>>56753318you are technically wrong but there are some trainer cards that get reprinted by the time the older version rotates outcards like switch, boss's orders and professors research are likely to get new versions stay in the game for example
>>56753318>>56753504Has there been any full season without some variant of switch or energy search?
>>56753669looking it up it seems they got a reprint for at least every single pokemon generation since their introductions, so I assume not
>>56753504That's what I meant but thank you. Prof Research, Boss's Orders and Switch are the ones I thought were eternal. Am I correct in saying there's always a "Draw 3 (That's it)" card always in rotation? Same with Energy search as >>56753669 mentioned, as well as Energy Switch.Any cards that come close to having a lifespan like these cards? Double Turbo Energy has done the rounds a couple times, right?
>>56753790Yeah draw 3 cards are always there, easy way to give a character a card without needing to think of an effectdouble turbo is a replacement for a past double energy card that didn't have a drawback

>>56753959New guy, you don't need to narrate all the new things you just saw in ranked. Charizard with Dragapult has been a thing for at least 4 months now
>>56754288There's a couple of newfags lately who seem to think this thread is a discord server. For some reason, they can't shut the fuck up about anything involving Dragapult.
>>56754564>is a discord server.or that other website
>>56753959>>56754288>>56754564Are you the guys who keep calling everyone a bot?
>>56755157If I were that fag, I would've done the thing you said already. I'm just saying that being excited about something isn't so exciting for everyone else since it's really easy to look up why something is what it seems.You can look up decks in Limitless, search for card prices in tcgplayer, read on new info on PokeBeach. Make use of those sites and get yourself more insight, then make a post if you think something is interesting to talk about.
>>56753959Honestly I don't know what people are thinking with that deck. It's always just been a free win. Regular Charizard is better

>>56755346you might be simply playing a deck that doesn't use it wellthe card is good. Like if you're playing a very aggressive deck it's great to set up and attack right away. You don't care if it becomes a liability or useless from turn 2, the game will just end quickly anyway
>>56755433What decks make good use of it?
>>56755457bolt, moon, dragojust to name a few
>>56755457Look it up yourself.
>>56755542Go outside retard
>>56755534Maybe I'm just bad then. I played Drago and I took it out. I play bolt and I hate how it just sits there in my bench when it could be a rad gren or a fez
Virginity unlocked>>56755457Regidrago, Terapagos, anything that has Nest ball and can afford to lose some resources
>>56755572Fuck you. Stop enabling invalids.
>>56755830Literally go outside you fucking retard, stop policing this thread
>>56755863go back to your fucking website
>>56755457anything that doesn't mind discarding resources. so usually not evolutions decks
>>56755708Post your list
>>56755863Fuck you. Stupid morons will never stop asking stupid questions because of retarded cunts just like you.
>>56755863Bot
>>56755943>>56756010>>56756026Looks like I triggered the three retards
so yellow borders am i right
>>56755830>>56745253
>>56755346squawk's ability and sometimes even its attack is goated. like another anon said. its great with decks that want to go fast and discard their cards. it'll also help you out of a dead first hand more often than a discard supportor will since squawk can be pulled out with pokeballs and can use its ability going first.
Thinking that people should try to be self-sufficient and try to figure out their own questions instead of waiting for other people to do it for them isn't gatekeeping.
>>56756665
>>56756665The thread is literally for discussion of the game, that includes questions
>>56756371not sure what you're implying but i'm really glad we have the silver jp borders now. the yellow ones were awful
>playing Iron Throns>OP is still somehow able to use his brute bonnets Toxic powderIs this a glitch or something?
i thought we left the vmax meta?why are people getting 3 prizes on turn 2?
>>56757128Ability: InitializationAs long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, Pokémon with a Rule Box in play (both yours and your opponent's) have no Abilities, except for Future Pokémon. (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)
>>56757174Brute is an ancient pokemon.
>>56757233brute doesn't have a rule box. iron thorns gets farmed by klawf decks
>>56757174>>56757233nvm I'm dumb af, brute doesn't have a rule box
>>56757233Brute is not a rule box pokemon
>5 energy, 3 bosses orders and a Penny in my hand>only a single pokemon on this field>draw another energy>alt f4Fucking great game
>>56757307My average game desu
direct retards to a fucking pastebin or else its the same damn questions every new thread, retard. holy fuck all bots
instead of wasting your time calling people bots go spend that time and update the fucking pastebin, it's been out of date for 3 years now
>>56757957Am i the only one who hates VIP Pass?>Weak start because it's a basic>Only relevant turn one, drawing it after can literally brick you>Snorlax stalls loves to see it on the other side
>do well in ptcgl>try it irl>literally lose turn 1 going first because out of the 8 basics and 8 pokemon search items, only get 1 (one/uno/ein) basic and no itemsI was really embarassing, I was excited to play it and lost all matches with lots of time to spare
>>56758149Shuffle your cards better. Use different types of shuffling. It helps with decompartmenting your mons with your trainer cards.
>>56758032It was great with old Palkia/Intellion But I'm with you, it is super overhyped for just kick started card.
>>56758032It is pretty shit yeah
>>56757957I know you're making fun of my post about squawk but battle pass is unironically worse because it will take up 4 slots on your deck. 4 dead draws. Amazing
>>56758358Except it was so powerful that almost every deck at the time played all 4 copies, and if your opponent opened one or more of them and you didn't, you were already losing. You're so stuck on something being a "dead draw" that you can't see how good a card is.
>>56754564>stop talking about TCG in the TCG general!
>their website0 comments>tcg generalhere you go my son. eat up
>>56758505Guys, why is every deck playing Fezandipity ex? It only draws three cards, that doesn't seem very good to me. I don't get it.
Figure it out, dum dum
>>56758627Can't you just explain it to me? I don't know why it's supposed to be so good?
>>56758605>Pleas-please upset
>he needs fez to draw 3lollmao even
Since Pikachu ex has natural Focus Sash, I think having a Bianca's Devotion would be nice as a 1-of
>>56758815Pikachu is strong enough people will tech for it Also if your pikachu survives the turn anyway you've pretty much won, no need for bianca
>>56758873>people will tech for itWhat tech? Canceling Cologne?
>>56758873>Pikachu is strong enough people will tech for itI'm already teching for it.
>>56758888Yeah primarily, some might run hawlucha if they can gust >>56758921Yeah dusk line is one of the best counters to it too, while not being a dedicated tech slot.
>>56758923Glass Trumpet with Blissey ex is pretty clever, never thought of that
>>56748968Yeah, I've been using the camera on my laptop.>>56749303Oh, I don't disagree at all, but it'd be nice to have a way to railgun hundreds of codes.
>>56758923I saw this deck and thought it was pretty cool. blissey always felt like it could be useful. its super tanky and has a decent ability.
>>56759195I think the only problem with Blissey is setting it up is a hassle since Chanseys are 100+ HP so they're not Poffinable. But with that Trolley Ace Spec it should be easier
>Lilligant>Ability: Sunny Day>Your [G] and [R] Pokémon’s attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).>[G][C][C] Spinning Attack: 60 damage.Could Scovillain double dip with this damage boost? (obviously only the ones with the dual-type ability)
>>56760259Interesting question. I think it wouldn't get +20 twice since it only fulfills the requirement twice so the bonus damage stays the same. I'm probably wrong.
>>56760259No
>>56758455You're kinda dumb desu
>>56758605Maybe because it actually does something besides turn 1
>>56758923Why bother with blissey, why not just use terapagos?
>>56757957This was either super op or completely dead depending on when you drew it and I'm glad it's gone, hopefully forever.Poffin is better
>>56758455And you're too focused on something going good turn one you're blind to how it's bricking your deck, sorry not sorry that I plan for turn 2
>>56758717>Guys I'm trolling you! Pay attention!
>>56758815>Also if your pikachu survives the turn anyway you've pretty much wonHuh?you've won two prizes maybe but you certainly haven't won the match
>>56758815Why not do penny instead
>>56758888Nobody plays Canceling Cologne because it's often a dead draw
>>56758921>Give the Pikachu 3 prizes instead of 2Great idea
>>56759978This is so meme I like it
>>56760671There's been lots of meme Dusknoir + Luxray memes on JP Gym Battles lately, for some reason
>>56759978Why crobat
>>56760775Takes 2 more damage if you KO with the 30 damage it does (to any opp Pokemon). Dusknoir for 130, leaves Bax at 30 for 3 prizes, or Dusclops for 50 to kill any 70 HP basics for 3 prizes. Luxray also hits 180 with Reversal Energy, 210 can kill some ex mons like Ogerpon for 4 prizes.
>>56759978>Dusknoir and crobat on the opponents squawkabilly
>>56759978>One Pidgey>Two PidgeotWhy
>>56759978>Two Pidgeot ex>Mawile hasn't been relevant forever >Two thorton??
How do I play around pic related with Spidops ex? Is my only hope to boss it and run canceling cologne, or do I just get to eat shit?
Holy shit I forgot Magcargo ex is a Tera. Which means I can bring Noctowl and Glass Trumpets and 1 Briar
>>56761252Boss it
>>56761252no one going to play this anyway
>>56761301Do you have a list because you're probably the only one who runs magcargo
>>56761453>no one going to play this anywaylollmao even
>>56760526>obsessed with something potentially bricking your deck>doesn't understand how Squawk can unbrick a bad turn 1Cards like these can determine whether you even have a turn 2. I'm glad you know more than everyone who's been playing longer than you, though.
>>56761887I've probably been playing longer than you
>>56760461Read the card. Trumpet the energy onto Blissey, then move them to Pikachu. Terapagos can't do that.
>>56761902As inexperienced as you sound, I really doubt it.
>>56761923I've been playing since base set one
>>56761947No one who's been around that long would call it "Base Set One"
>>56762019Lmao keep coping dude. I don't know why you're getting so mad about this to be honest, it's just a difference of opinion.
>9/10 games I face a deck that perfectly counters mine>the last game I brick so hard I would have had a better chance playing a MTG deck instead
>>56761252you're gonna eat shit sadly, spidops decks are pretty much dead because it>>56761453it's in a LOT of lists
>>56762028Because one of us is wrong and seems determined to stay ignorant. I can't wait to see more of your opinions.
>>56760817Optimization with heavy ball. Doing a 1:2 line with heavy ball helps with not starting with the pokemon in active. I've seen the same in some palkia lines.
>>56761252>spidops and calamitous become useless >all evolution basics die to dragon dart>dusknoirmy wugs can't catch a break. maybe I will have to pivot to ancient box for mill once this set is legal
>only ever have one pokemon on the field>zero energy>have 4x judge and boss's orders in my hand every game>redraw them every time
They're promoting dusknoir usage. That's horrifying.
>>56762103People used to do 2:3 lines with Giratina to increase the chances of a Comfey start.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL MY GOD DAMN ENERGY CARDS
>>56762195based. I love duskull/dusknoir. They should release more cards of them so I can just make an entire deck with them

>>56762568You can't play that card, it's a dead draw that will brick your deck. It doesn't matter how often it can fix your opening hand, drawing it later just isn't worth it.
