Well, my extra free packs are gone, but I'm pretty happy with the results, especially considering it's my first account and I didn't have to bother with reroll autism this time. Trying to fish for Sabrinas from Charizard packs now since I have yet to see her on Wonder Trade

Beat all the CPU challenges and exhausted all ways of pulling cards that don't require paypigging, is there anything left to do for me in this game?

On another note, I believe people are sleeping on Pidgeot. I feel that this is going to become the best card in this pack in the long term. The ex-Pokemon are, apart from Moltres, just beaters and powercreep will come for them. Pidgeot's ability however is unique. It is an infinite supply of Sabrinas that doesn't use up the once per turn support card limit. As new cards get released that will make evolutions searchable or simply speed them up, Pidgeot will only become even more reliable. Its typing also makes it playable in any deck. I really love this card.

You can craft her. Trainer cards are pretty cheap.
>>
Wonder Pick is a pretty cool feature but my luck with it is unbelievably shit, I have never got anything decent.

That being said, my luck with pack opening seems to be higher than average since I have a lot of EX and illustration rares. I guess somebody might get lucky picky my cards in the WP.
>>
>>56815583
Battle and farm thanks
>>
>>56815569
>Trying to fish for Sabrinas from Charizard packs now

Unless there's more cards in that set you want, you're probably better off just buying her with the "not hearthstone dust" you get from opening packs. Supporter cards seem to be quite rare in my experience but cheap to buy.
>>
>>56815595
I have the opposite luck. I've only pulled one ex from packs but I've gotten 3 from wonder pick
>>
>>56815583
Agreed about Pidgeot though I don't think people are really sleeping on him, more like he's not top priority for anyone. On that note I think EX Venusaur also has potential to stay relevant for long time thanks to combo of built-in healing and Erika card
>>
>>56815599
Yeah, not going to use anymore hourglasses from now on (I only have 12 left anyways), but I don't think you can save those two daily packs you get, so I'm just going to use those for now
>>
>>56815583
I have one so far as I started with Pikachu packs. I am tempted to hunt for him through wonder pack and craft pidgiotto. Another card that seems like it could be useful is this guy.
>>
>>56815622
I tied a game vs one of these meta sweatlord thanks to this bad boy.

>>
>>56815583
Hmmm I have 2 pidgeots, great to hear that. I'll try it
>>
>>56815602
Venusaur is very very slow though. It's a stage 2 card that requires 4 energy. It needs something like Liligant, but better, to really work. This game incentivises rushing the opponent down by maximising low-cost damage output, which is why the best decks are electric and psychic. Pikachu-ex needs no evolution and has an excellent cost to damage ratio. Psychic works because Gardevoir accelerates energy distribution. The drawback of ex-Pokemon awarding two points when beaten means nothing if they can rush the opponent down before that even happens. In such a speed based environment it is very hard to find opportunities to use strategies that tt ry to outlast the opponent, like Venusaur-ex or poison. I think the win condition should be changed to four points instead of three to weaken glass cannon decks.
>>

Nah water and plant are also very solid. Double starmie is very aggressive. Plant Victreebel can hand you free basic kills and Venusaur+Erika is solid, just need to stall. Fight decks can also be very good for chip damage and sustain. Most cancer I find are the Moltres deck. I like the Dragonite Weezing deck desu.

ended up just uninstalling after the 4th reroll because I was starting to question what the fuck I'm doing with my life spending half a day clicking through tutorials.

also, I'm sure some of you are already aware of this, but wonder pick being a 1/5 chance of getting the card you want is an illusion, in reality the cards you're selecting from are not flipped cards, and instead you have a 1% chance or whatever to get the rare card regardless of which card you select.
it rolls upon selection. there is no shuffle.

You have 50% chance, you either get what you want or not.

I have done 7 battles with this dual-colour deck I'm trying and I've seen green energy twice in that time. That's 2/44 turns. That's 1 in 18,500,000 odds. Which leads me to believe the system is actually bugged.
>>
>>56815795
Yeah I've also played double and its always skewed on one energy type. Dunno if it has to do with how many cards of that color you have.
>>
>>56815795
Some people are saying it's based on the colors in your attacks.

You should add up the ratio of grass energies in your deck and see how that compares.

As a side note started doing Weezing + Dragonite and running 3 colors, dark only shows up like once an entire match.
>>
>>56815795
Dual-colour is really, really poorly designed in Pocket. It may very well make dragon the worst type in the game. Another disadvantage for dragons is the lack of resistances. Usually an advantage of dragon-types is that few Pokemon resist them, but this doesn't matter if there are no resistances in the first place. At the same time no Pokemon has a weakness to dragon.
>>
>>56815805
The ratio is 2:1 Psychic to Grass. So it's definitely not that.

>>56815825
I've played other gatcha card games with trading. Usually it involves, shockingly, another currency like trade tokens. The game I played had a trade token for each rarity with the highest rarity being the hardest to get in any appreciable quantities. I think that mystery ticket we all received is likely to be a trade voucher or something.

>Mad man
Granted nothing top meta yet but 3 games 3 victories.
I only run Weezing/Dragonite, and realistically I can't imagine there being many games where, by the time Dnite is online, you haven't managed to get a water and a lighting by 4 turns, and even trying to keep dragonaor safe if the odds really are adjusted accordingly, the odds are in your favor to either just use that dark as colorless, never get dark for weezing and not attack with him like you wouldn't with only 2 colors anyway. Or maybe one day have a clutch weezing attack for some psychic dude, hitting for 50 after weakness and removing one of the RNG calls for Nite.

I'm telling you it's not as crazy as it sounds and it helped me out just last match.
Of course saying that I'm going to get RNG'd to hell and back now

It's a 3D object. You can game the first one, I try to do it very gently trying to flip it over once. All the other flips outside of the first one you activate for attacks/sleep are automatic and "random". I honestly don't know why they don't just make them all random.

Grass decks can be good, but they normally revolve around Venusaur EX. Id say Liligant and Exeggcutor are a bit of a nonbo, since Exeggcutor only needs 1 energy to get slapping and Lilligant's whole gimmick is ramping your bench from her attacks. You want Exeggcutor as your lead and another Pokémon that is energy-hungry on the bench slowly building up it's power while Exeggcutor tanks and slaps for a couple turns

Blaine is the same, really odd how some of these cards are niche gimmicks and others are game defining.
>>
>>56815860
>>56815854
Now, realistically speaking.
Did I just have 2 games back to back where I got nothing but dark energy 4 turns in a row with no lightning in sight, and in one of those games did that delay my dragonite for two whole turns, forcing me to let my opponent take two prizes?
Yes.

Did I also brick Dnite in the other game never drawing Dratini, pokeball, or Oak, and did I literally only win that game through clowning on a Mewtwo Garde deck, bullying both an early Ralts and a Mewtwo EX from pure double weezing only poison and tackles?
Also yes.

Thus, the results of actually running the darkness energy are inconclusive, but getting colorfucked is by no means rare, just theoretically less of an issue with DNite given slow + double colorless, and you can try and slow down by giving one to weezing if need be.

Card game devs consistently underestimate the value of a high roll gamble. They always think consistency is higher value and it so often just isn't. See also: Leyline of Resonance in MTG

This all being said I really wish instead of being auto generated they just made a seperate "Energy Deck" if they wanted to streamline things, maybe max 10 to 15 cards or so, so that the player gets to decide what ratios they want for splashing multiple colors, and actually giving shit like Misty and Moltres a finite resource to help prevent against snowballing and actually punishing players for blowing their load too early.
Then you can still have dce too, though in this game that would probably be broken and would need some stipulations on it like can't attack this turn or something.

As it is now this is just overly restrictive on the player and can really fuck them over with whatever weird RNG thing they do.
Keep the generator even just give us an adjustable pie chart with color-coded segments, that's still flashy and streamlined for a mobile audience, and they can even add an auto button for it by default.

after 32 rerolls I can safely say that flipping a pack before opening it seems to yield about 8.2% more rare cards.

It's subtle but true. There's a less obvious version of this in a regular pack if you find a card with 2 star or higher rarity. It kills your hype once you're aware of it, though.
>>
>>56816121
Na, they're not all universal. For example you don't even bother with Sabrina in Pigeot decks and other decks will have Pokemon with very small retreat costs where you often don't even bother with X-Speed. I would always prioritise Sabrina over Giovanni though.
>>
>>56816175
That's terrible.

Why is Oak and Pokeball in the shop?

For reference, in a 20 card deck having 4 basics is a 72 chance to get at least one.
Having only 2 Artiunos leaves you at 44, so 56 chance to lose on the spot.

Once again, a coin flip
And Pikachu becomes even stronger for basic spam, and evolution decks that can't afford much extra room suffer 30 percent of games.

God packs don't make it into Wonder Picks if they have cards that are either immersive or crown rarity,

>>56816606
Mariwak has a 50 chance for 80, and a 25 for 160, sooverall a 75 chance to do at least 80 compared to Eggy's mere 50, so statistically Marowak will always be hitting harder than Egg, simple as.

Even the whiff turns *should* even out with double heads down the road, but the problem is you don't always need double heads, so even if it does even out like that unless it's against a Mewtwo than it was worthless good luck.

Statistically Egg killz Mewtwo far slower than Marowak, whi only needs 2 heads, but it also gets one shot by Mewtwo as well if it doesn't double heads, and you have the potential to do nothing at all.

Egg has >150 HP I think, so that's a guaranteed 80, potential same as Marowak over 2 turns.

In the moment and general battling Marowak is always and will always be "better" and "stronger" but it doesn't always need to be stronger, and it can't always live long enough for math to equal itself out for Marowak.

Egg as well only needs a single energy, and hitting things for 80 - 160 over 2 turns matters more than hitting for 0 - 320 over 2 turns.
>>
>>56816465
it is one of the best decks, not the best, sure, but mewtwo packs come with much more relevant cards that gives you a much big variety

Makes sense. I do think they need to make some changes to the way the game fundamentally operates instead of changing Pikachu and Articuno. Just make it so you have to have at least 5 mons, or maybe even more, in your deck, it wouldn't solve everything but it would help make it less consistent.

That's not how that works. He isn't trying to get them in the same pack retard. He just needs to hit the 1/200 twice within 20 packs which while rough yes i not too bad. If it is 1/200 per card and not per pack then the probability is way higher

October 31 – November 14 : Meowth Event Part 1 and the Meowth Shop opens . During this time, you can participate in the Meowth event and earn special items by playing the game. The shop will likely offer Meowth-themed items. Meowth and Chansey promotional cards will likely be unlocked.

November 7 – 14 : Meowth Event Part 2. The event continues or is updated, offering new rewards and challenges to keep players interested.

But he doesn't.
I've been having decent success on random online matches with him, and not against newbies.
I netdecked a Dragonite Turbo deck from a Yugioh player and it's been working very well, even though I only have one copy of Dragonite.
Picrel is my deck. Energies are Electric and Water only. The original deck I copied has a second Dragonite instead of Meowth.
The secret to winning with Dragonite is never giving up. The card won me some crazy comeback victories so far.

I'll give it a try anon, thanks. Also cool full arts.
>>
>>56817133
You remove the dark energy from your deck in the deckbuilder, so you can only "draw" Water and Electric. Weezing has 110HP, which lets him stall for multiple turns while you're evolving your Dragonite on the bench and applying energies to it, but also Weezing has an ability that allows him to poison the opponent's pokemon without needing to use energy for it. So while he's stalling, he just starts ticking down your opponent's HP 10 per turn changeover. And then finally, when your Dragonite is ready, you play Koga to "retreat" your Weezing for free (and heal your Weezing back to full by replaying him) and then Draco Meteor for the win.
>>
>>56817133
Weezing is a big pokemon with a good skill and a supporter card dedicated to it. You're not using it for its attack, only HP, skill and return to hand with Koga.
>>
>>56817156
>you play Koga to "retreat" your Weezing for free (and heal your Weezing back to full by replaying him)
I have never used koga but i guess i need another koffing to evolve it into the weezing again or does it retrive me both of the pokemons?
>>
>>56817148
It’s very strong, but you guys are jumping the gun. This happens in every tcg. I promise the next set will give you more pikachu-tier cards because, if it doesn’t, the game will die. Seen it before.

Whining that some decks are ass in a tcg just makes me thing you’ve never played one before.
>>
>>56815829
look closely at the picture. it has hearts on them

also you should be able to craft cards from the other menu where you search through your cards/ decks
>>
>>56817167
You get both back into your hand and then you can replay the Koffing immediately and then evolve it with the Weezing again next turn.

Her effect is very useful, being able to expose pokemon that are either weak or don't have enough energies to do anything.

>>56817186
That’s really not uncommon, though. I remember something similar happening when the Panini Dragon Ball Z tcg (re?)launched. The Ginyu Force deck raped everything else, but unfortunately, that game had a really mediocre second set that crippled the scene (on top of staples being too rare). As long as the next set diversifies the meta a bit, I think this game will be fine. Existing cards may even find more use depending on the effects of new cards.

the only way to play Dragonite is

Dragonite + Weezing
Dragonite + Frosmoth
Dragonite + Hypno + Snorlax


with Dragonite + Weezing being the most consistent
Dragonite + Frosmoth relying too much with RNG (sleep + misty)
and Dragonite + Hypno + Snorlax being your only way to beat some top tier decks through sleep RNG

>>56817283
In the regular TCG there are resistances, so you could build a fighting type deck against it, but of course they thought their absolutely retarded target audience would be overwhelmed by the concept, so there simply are no resistances in the game. This will fuck the game over and over again since it prevents counterplay. You will see many many more tier 0 formats.

Mewtwo is...
The top 3 decks are Pikachu, Charizard and Mewtwo

and odds are around

Mewtwo 55 - Pikachu 45
Pikachu 80 - Charizard 20
Charizard 60 - Mewtwo 40


Pikachu is still the best deck by far, but if you want to play against it and still have a good deck agasint everything else Mewtwo is the way to go
>>
>>56817278
If we all play just top tier drooling shit then everyone would be playing pikachu and charizard. Literally nothing else.

I don’t think that strictly true, but the counterplay isn’t unique to pikachu. You have to manage points more carefully than in other matchups. Exploit pika’s relatively low health (chip it with non-ex) if you can. The toughest part is having a deck consistent enough to keep up.

One thing that can help (but is entirely out of your control) is that pika seems hurt more than some decks when it plays first.

I‘m not yet playing competitively, still gathering cards. I just play Dragonite in PvE and know it has 160hp. I don't know how common it is, I don't know if Giovanni is recommended in the deck, personally I wouldn't play him, since you better use Sabrina and destroy Dratini/Dragonair before it even has the chance to become Dragonite, but I wanted to help out by answering the question. Dragonite has 160hp.
>>
>>56817303
>>56817343
There are no other options other than Scope or two Red Card, it wouldn't make a difference removing Giovanni which I already run at 1.

>>56817367
>>
>>56817396
>>56817408
Fair enough. To make it very simple there are no common 110 and 160 HP targets. Mewtwo kinda has the perfect numbers were almost everything that isn't dying to in one hit is dying to two
>>
>>56817405
you are talking as if a simple and shallow game like this gave you a lot of room for misplays


these statistics are reflected in every tournament so far
where mewtwo is favored vs pikachu
pikachu dunks on charizard
and charizard dunks on mewtwo

with the rest of the decks being mostly irrelevant besides one or two having a good run due to luck
>>
>>56817179
I've got 10 Machokes and 0 Machamps
>>
I love my plant control deck so much bros.
>>
>>56817406
I use it when my opponent goes first and has more than 4 cards in hand. He can't use the cards in his hand to evolve if he goes first and this way I can reduce the odds of him having an evolution in hand once his next turn comes.
>>
>>56817343
MORON

gio is optimal in mewtwo, a must

50+10 lets you hit for the 60 HP that is the most common basic evolving HP

50+10 and 50+10 lets you 2 hit pikachu

150+10 lets you deal with exeggcutor and dragonite

>Which you aren't hitting without Sabrina
yes you are?

you underestimate how frequent bricks are in this game
once you get to know the game more you will understand
>>
>>56817441
It's a support card, if you're that early in the game that Mewtwo is using the 50 base power move instead of 150 chances are you would rather have oak to raise your chances of finishing the Gardevoir line. In the event you already have Gardevoir Sabrina is the better option because she is more versatile. You are also calculating +10 twice for Pikachu, meaning you expect to habe it twice even though it is not searchable. Whatever you are doing, it is clearly suboptimal.
>>
>>56817462
You know what else is a brick in a deck that has 2 stage 2s? Because having 2 oak gios and Sabrina is pretty fucking tight

>>56817506
>Which cards are used in Dragonite +Frosmoth?
dragonite and frosmoth

>>56817504
it has happened to me using pikachu, ive done it using mewtwo
the matchup is so common (both are the most used decks and like 60% of the userebase in tournaments) that that situation does pop up

but its mostly about pressure, since tournaments are played with open lists
if you 50+10 a pikachu and you dont have potion you have to retreat or risk the opponent having another gio to finish you

but if you dont have that 2nd gio then that risk does not exist
also you want to optimize your chances of being able to 1 shot the 60HP basics by having two
>>

>>
>>56817506
the decks build themselves after the pokemon are selected

dragonite and frosmoth are 10 cards

with 10 cards left you have

2 Oak
2 Misty
1 Sabrina
2 Pokeball
2 X Speed
1 Red Card


if you want to play weezing for example, you replace misty for Koga and the frosmoth line for weezing

>>
>>56817683
have you played MTG at all?
right now you can T2 win with Callous Sell-Sword and your opponent cannot do ANYHTHING about it

sure you might hit a T1 Articuno + Misty + Flip 3 heads
but odds of that are atrouciously low, and when you dont hit chances are you lose the game
which is why you dont see water decks top at tournaments


with your own very mindset Marowak is broken since you can hit 160 for 2 energy in turn 2
>>
>>56817714
>have you played MTG at all?
Yes. They banned Leyline of Resonance in BO1 for specifically the reason I'm talking about.
>>
>>56817718
if low odds early instawin combos were an issue Callous Sell-Sword would be banned from standard right now

yes, you can instawin turn 1 / turn 2, but odds are quite low and then when you dont hit the odds of winning plummet which is why Mewtwo, Pikachu, Charizard have better winrates and tournament placements
>>
>>56817646
Just make her give 1 energy, like Brock. I don't think it'd gut anything. It'd still make Blastoise's 100 damage attack effectively cost 2 energy, for instance, and 160 for 4 energy, which is perfectly fine. Lots of water pokemon are balanced around 2 cost attacks as well, like Starmie, they definitely don't rely on Misty.

It'd improve the consistency a lot, which night be a minor problem, but it'd also remove the stupid 1/4 chance that you win the game instantly when you play her.
>>
>>56817714
>Flip 3 heads
Even one is good. Two is a won game if it happens early enough. You never need more than 2 heads. A 50% initial failure rate is bad, but cards like these ruin the illusion that we’re doing anything more than rolling dice.

yes, running 2 articuno and 2 misty
gives you 25% (24.871%) of having both in the initial hand

then 12.5% of hitting the 3 heads needed to win

thats 1/32 of it happening, 3.125%

and the 96.875% of the time it doesnt happen you get rolled by pikachu, charizard and mewtwo

SO OP.... SO PROBLEMATIC

Only useful if you're reducing hand size by at least 2. More importantly you need to be able to tell when NOT to play it. For example, I played a m2 who was stuck on a Kirlia for far too long. No reason to let him mulligan for a garde
