GIVE ME MISTYS
>>
to that anon in the other thread about pikachu/zapdos being overrated:

stocked bench being an issue is entirely a non-issue when you have 2x oaks and 2x poke balls. the likelihood of bench playing a factor is next to nothing.

the deck relies on being able to switch cards at either literal 0 or zero after x-speed. you can use basic card skills to mitigate damage that i dont need to explain in detail. the deck relies on hitting 90 damage insanely early and being set up before others + being able to move damage counters around at no penalty. i genuinely have no idea how you could consider the deck overrated in any capacity when everyone online is winning with it right now. if x-speed didn't make retreats literally free i'd say maybe it'd go down in value by a bit, but that isn't the case.

Saying it's overrated doesn't mean it is bad.
I'm saying Misty deck is underrated, if anything.
Finding 4 mons and making sure your opponent doesn't Sabrina you seems to be more troublesome than finding Starmie.
And yet people consistently tier Misty below Circle Circuit.

>>
>>56832312
>doesn't Sabrina you
again, this is a non-issue with the deck lol. electrode has 0 retreat cost while the others have 1 which is negated by x-speed.

have you even played the deck? it sounds like you don't know much about it at all lol
>>
>>56832314
This, please don't group us with those smelly people
>>
>>56832327
It is an issue because the opponent one shots whatever you put in the bench, and now Pikachu cant deal the same damage Starmie naturally can.
Starmie is also 0 retreat and can tank better than whatever Pika/Zapdos have.

>100% all missions in solo rewards nothing
Why add them then?
>>
>>56832326
The player closest to the camera is playing ritual beasts, a deck that special summoms about 20 times its first turn. He is going first.
The opponent flashes him three cards that can each be used to draw 1 card every time he special summons a card. Even if he had the out for one of them, he has two others. All he can do is set and pass, hoping he doesn't get killed in the next turn since he was unable to set up any interaction cards or effects on his turn.
The opponent then flashes the starters for THE premier one turn kill deck, meaning he can either forfeit or lose time in the match watching himself slowly die that turn.

Anon, you clearly have some sort of mental disability, I'm really sorry to tell you, but you must tell the bad news to your parents as soon as possible.
Saying decks arent being rated properly doesn't mean a specific deck (pikachu) isn't one one the best decks in an objective standpoint, or even that it wont perform well in tournaments.

It's from this year. Ritual beasts got some new support recently that brought the deck back into the meta as a low tiered/rogue pick. It was famous for its long turns back in the day, and it still is really.

Really, though, pika isn’t that bad. The 90 damage output isn’t a lock on the first attaching turn, and a peak of 90 damage sucks in the late game. Pika’s health stat won’t age well either.

and you know what happened the previous tournaments before the 5 i just posted? the same thing


there is a clear gap between pikachu and the rest of the decks just like there is a clear gap between mewtwo and charizad and the rest of the decks

>>56832499
He’s solid. (1) cost retreat + a different weakness than pika + basic + high damage output potential (if needed)

Pika is only *really* good with zapdos ex in my opinion. The raichu / electrode builds are functional, but they aren’t as consistent (filling the bench is more difficult).

as in didnt bench them during setup?

>>56832516
Who knows. Do whatever makes you happiest.

By himself no but he's a good sponge since he has high hp and low retreat cost, so you can safely set up your strategy while he gets punched and once you're done you can retreat him

zard is doing well because it completely shits on mewtwo (around 70% wr) and mewtwo is the most played deck every time bc it has a favorable matcup vs pikachu (around 55% wr)
and even though it gets destroyed by pikachu (around 20% wr) it still has favorable matchups against everything else

Way more hourglasses, since I like being able to stock up to pull at once for what I want instead of doing 2 a day where the 2 are at opposite ends of the day. Way more campaign gameplay.

And this is why I hate gacha, that illusion that you can get something better if you're just autistic enough to reroll, and it makes me realize how really hard it is to get the cards you want. I'll just do one final clean up, make sure the sub is enabled and stick with it, nothing but to learn from my mistakes and rebuild.

>>56832756
EX cards are fine for anything that's not a tournament. You can get a 55+% winrate on most stage 3, 1 prize, decks. Which feels good.
It's only when you're playing an unsupported format, aka unofficial fan tournaments, where you need the hyper consistency of a 90% winrate deck where EX feels dominant.
And even then you still get shit like raichu and ninetails topping without them.

You're doing it wrong. Never admit defeat. Just call people names and get into escalating endless back and forth across multiple threads where you develop tribalistic insults for anyone that you disagree with. Next thread you should double down and insult everyone for not rerolling, call them "rollets".

its in the post anon... learn to read

125 players went with pika (25% of the sign ups) and 10 (40%) got to top 25

and 50 players went with starmie (10%) and 1 (4%) got to top 25


compared to the other two top ecks

mewtwo had 125 players (25%) and 6 in top 25 (24%) which performed on par
and charizard had 50 players (10%) and 5 on top 25 (20%)


starmie is so reliant on RNG (misty) and unconsistent (relying on hitting stage 1 turn 2) that it cannot stand up to the big 3, and comparing it to pikachu is just ludicrous

I know gacha needs constant content but I hope they let sets breathe and be around for a while before they rotate. They can get money from events and cosmetics for whales in the meantime. Unless they introduce different balanced formats or the ability to create your own card block. There will always be one main format but it would be a shame not to be able to find games for the current format in the future.

i agree they should have made the base set much larger. a 3 month pace sounds fine (any faster and you wouldnt get much time to play your deck by the time you get everything), but i've been playing for 1 day and have everything relevant from the mewtwo pack and much of the useful cards from the other two. i'll have the whole damn set in 3 months.

>>
>>56833264

The first set is discounted and will likely never refresh. It's there to make it easier for you to pull. You buy up all those and then are stuck with the monthly clocks

They function the same. The regular ones are limited, meant for the start of the game.

>>56833263
>The best format in every TCG is the first release
no it is always the set right before turbo power creep is released. I will admit pokemon has probably THE best base set in all card games. It is the exception rather than the rule
>>
>>56833229
that can happen in MTG where you have thousands and thousands of legal cards in a given format and the card complexity is high

but in pocket? forget it, heck not even in regular pokemon tcg you will see something like that, game is way too simple and straightforward on top of having a really limited card pool

I own the deck and I see the same issue. You can't always have a full bench and sometimes your hand is full.of electrodes or something on your bench got killed and your damage drops. Or your hand is full of support cards that aren't oak/pokeball. Meanwhile Articuno can start attacking turn 1 if lucky and Starmie has more health and consistently deals exactly as much damage as Pikachu does with full bench.
>>
>>56833303

You go with 2x Dratini,Dragonair, Dragonite, you build them on the bench with water+ele energy. You open with either something beefy as a sacrifice or something fast and cheap to stall, like Snorlax, Frosmoth, Weezing or maybe Starmie EX.

Brock is not bad, 1 mana guaranteed is good. It's just that the Poks it targets aren't super greats, not bad tho. Think of it like that, you can have on your second turn 2+1 brock energy on a 110hp 70 attack Mon, which is great.

Marowak EX, Sandslash, Bisharp, Primeape, Centiscorch, Golduck, Raichu+Magneton+Surge, Electrode, Gyarados+Misty, Kingler, Tentacruel, Blaine deck (Ninetales, Ponyta, Magmar), Exeguttor normal and EX, Vileplume, Vicrtibeel, Jynx, Farfetch'd.

So many good cards, just pick 2-3 poks you like the most and optimize your deck.

why are you opening different packs? focus on one until you built a deck that can carry you thru everything and then start branching out
>>
>>56833436
Weezing alone has been winning for me vs meta Mewtwo decks. I run him together with Alakazam.

that is on you for opening different packs instead of sticking to a single one dumbass

I've been exclusively summoning on Mewtwo the past 20 times and haven't gotten anything.

>>56833423
He's great but he is not underrated. He's probably the best grass card because he can swing frame 1 while your slower Grass mons (Usually Venusaur EX) can set up.

You could probably get all the cards(not all ghe variants) with the daily two packs before the next expansion
>>
>>56833487
For fun?
Do you have fun playing, right? You're not playing only for the dopamine hit of getting virtual points, I hope.
>>
>>56833435
If I know I'm no longer pulling from a certain pack, I'll go ahead and pull a straggler or two. If i want something for a deck now, i may also pull it. I have no need to pull from Mewtwo again aside from rares so i may eventually cave and craft a second gardevoir. If you plan to keep pulling from a certain pack, the desire sensors will activate and you'll pull the card you just crafted within two packs.

We have 3 fucking months of these so I'd unironically recommend prioritizing completing the KANTOOOO dex if you have nothing else to aim for. When a new pack releases, grab rares last, I'd say.

I bet there are decks without Ex that can beat ex decks simply because more of your cards can die and you only need to score 2 kills.

Like wheezing Dragonite. Or wheezing Arbok. I bet there's more decks that can do fine against ex decks. Like Onix/Kabutops.

No it isn't, especially if they haven't gotten the deck they want. You're being disingenuous. It's pretty much just an idle waiting game until you get a playable deck.

what do?

any interesting ideas with greninja yet?

>>56833558
The day 1 resources is more than enough to build multiple playable decks. The well dries up right after, but there is no way you opened dozens of packs and didn't get at least 2 playable decks.
>>
>>56833553
The plan was to go mono psychic, but I was dumb and forgot to set the energy. So, I ended up having grass energy. My opponent was using a grass/electric deck, and thankfully his only electric mon was Helioptile which needs any two energy, not specifically electric. With godly coin flips, I wiped his board with Helioptile's attack (80 damage on heads, 40 on tails), and had a Chansey clean up after. It was pure dumb luck.

Couple questions from someone who never played the physical TCG:
Is this a different format from irl TCG ala Duel Links?
Are there any restrictions or banlists that are different from the TCG or that could be implemented exclusively to this game?
With the game being virtual, is there any cahnce of them making erratas to change card effects, costs, and so on, or are they gonna mirror the irl cards 1:1?
>>
Does anyone know when the premium missions reset? I'd like to start my free trial right before that happens to try to get tickets from two months' worth with just the free trial. The Mewtwo cosmetics are going to be gone in two months, but there's no way the missions don't reset for that long, right?

This. Pika and Zapdos feel lackluster on their own.

For example my moltres, even with only one if I get lucky and start with it, I don't even notice not having a second one because it's job is completed.

What other decks do you want to try? I feel like outside of Pikachu deck and Misty the pika pack is underwhelming compared to the other things you can build with mewtwo or charizard packs, ie Wheezing/Venu, starmie/arty/eggy etc

Arcanine ex is so lackluster. I guess there's blastoise ex but i never see it.

This, holy shit. 6 Mewtwo EX and one Gardevoir from packs. I crafted my second one. Looking at the rates too, Gardevoir is genuinely more rare than Sabrina. I'm in Charizard pack hell waiting for my two Sabrinas, and I don't regret crafting my second Garde.

Appreciate the advice, and here's hoping it works.
>>
>>56833985
No, Sabrina does what he does with no setup required and only taking 1 or 2 cards per deck, while Pidgeot takes 6 or at the absolute least 3. Mewtwo decks already need Gardevoir and have other more useful 2-3 evo mon so another 3 stage is not good.

>>56833948
Honestly, the challenges aren’t too bad. I cleared zard in the first try with a worse grass deck than yours. One weird quirk of the low-rarity challenges is that the game counts full-arts of low-rarities as high-rarity…which I understand, but it’s also retarded.

im buffing up 2 accounts with 2 different packs.

So, this game is pretty much about being lucky and get your best cards faster than your opponent, kinda boring tbhdesu.

>>56833400
It's literally half the prize cards, decks are 1/3rd the size, you never have to draw into energies, and there's no fucking draw power or tutors so there's no like 4 card combos to get you from A to B, your hand either has gas or it doesn't. How?

>>
>>56833911
Yup.

And you're likely to be waiting for more than half a month minimum for a given card to drop. Double that if it's 2 diamond rarity. And over 50 days for a 3 or 4 diamond rarity.
